  • What IR's are you guys using with your Helix?

    I got an HX Stomp not long ago. It's great, but the stock cabs kinda suck, LOL. I bought myself a few Celestion and Ownhammer IR's, and it's a HUGE improvement.

    Wondering what you guys are using and what you recommend I look into? I'm particularly fond of Mesa Rectifier 4x12's, Marshall 1960's with Greenbacks, and EVH 4x12's. What do you guys use along those lines, and why do you think it's better than the competition?

    Thanks!

    Don't have a Helix, but for studio work (DAW) and loading up the Torpedo CAB M+ for playing out, use the same (OwnHammer, Celestion).

    Greenbacks are obvious, but you might want to try the Pre-Rolas found in OwnHammer.

    OwnHammer Blackbacks, EV-12L

    Celestion G12-65s for 80's tones (sometimes)

    Alnico Blues & Gold for bluesier classic rock stuff.

      I asked a similar question recently and the overwhelming answer was to check out York Audio’s IRs. They have a 2x12 for $1.

      I also like the revolution debut bundle of OwnHammer.

        The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

          Are you on the latest update? L6 revamped the stock cabs, so I quit using 3rd party IRs. For anything else I need, EQ is the key.

              Yep, that the latest FW. Well, before the update, I liked Choptones...
