Practicing with Headphones - Line 6 Helix Tips

Download my Complete Preset Library with 85+ presets - https://bit.ly/3hkkTCh
In this video I’ll be sharing with you the best techniques I’ve found for maximizing the tone when you’re practicing through headphones. Often times, the same presets you use for performance will sound brittle, harsh, or fizzy when being played through headphones. Through creative compression, EQ, and amp block techniques, we can tune those existing presets to be more ideal for use with headphones. This is a video I’ve been wanting to make for a while now, and with the current pandemic it seemed more appropriate than ever since a lot of us are home full-time with family.

The presets I offer for download are the same presets that I personally use live. I've developed them over the course of hundreds of hours at home on my studio monitors and in empty venues testing them out on different professional sound systems. They've been developed and further refined throughout the 1,000+ shows I've played with my Helix unit and I know that they'll perform reliably for you on whatever device and amplification system you are using. Please explore all of the packages I have to offer and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
