My Helix Tones - John Mayer (Plus Download Link)

Update: I've changed the amp model from the US Double NRM to the Litigator, which is more of a Dumble-ish style amp. The Fender model sounded fine but the Litigator was also able to give me more overall volume. (The cab is the 2x12 Interstate with a 121 Ribbon mic).

I've created another preset for the Line 6 Helix. But rather than creating another patch based on an amp, I've chosen to base this one on a guitar player. Namely, John Mayer.

Now obviously you can't really create a Helix patch and expect to sound exactly like any particular guitarist, least of which John Mayer, but using the appropriate gear can get you close, which is the aim of this preset.

I'd like to give a special mention to another YouTuber, @Justin's Gear Corner , whose Mayer-centric videos were very informative when I first tried to capture JM's tone over the summer for a bit of fun. The amount of detail he goes into is impressive and if you like John Mayer and are a real guitar nerd, I suggest you check out Justin's channel.

I'd also like to thank another YouTube channel, @Jam Junkies , for kindly allowing me to use their backing track of 'Covered In Rain'. They have a wide variety of backing tracks so if you're in a jamming mood, check out their channel. You can find a link to the backing track I used below.
