re: How to load and play through an impulse response (IR) on guitar

Sweet. I have a helix and found a deftones preset with a specific IR. Sounds really good. Wednesday night, I learned My Own Summer and will be playing more Deftones this weekend.

The first pedal I saw mentioned was the Helix. I've watched a lot of comparison videos on YouTube of the different multi pedals against each other and also against the actual amps. It's pretty amazing how far amp modeling has come.

I wouldnt use just a digital effects pedal personally as my main source of guitar tone.. But if I did, id avoid using IR responses and just concentrate on EQ. Cutting the low at 98, and the highs at 20k for starters on rhythm guitars.

I never got serious enough about playing to get a legit rig. I'm a Metallica megafan so everything I play is geared towards that. I got to a point where I was tired of physically playing and moved into a knob turner. I had a Mesa Boogie Mark III Red Stripe with the graphic EQ and that thing was amazing, but it was too much amp to just play around the house. The one time I cranked it I thought the house was going to fall into a sinkhole, so I just got the DigiTech RP500 that has a Mark IV amp model and a parametric EQ that's fun to play with, as well as all of the different cab models

I've had the headrush, Podgo and helix. I liked the headrush ok, sold it and bought and sold many amps. Still have a few. Bought a pod go which I really liked but sold it to get the Helix. I have an shop that is a dedicated mancave/music room. I play the Helix 90% of the time. I run it into a Mixer and 2 JBL EON One arrays. My favorite setup so far.

Lol it’s all good I should have articulated myself better. It sounds much more complicated than it actually is.
