Frank just shared his mobile number on the big Helix thread on TGP for anyone that needs to contact him. 

Wtf

Larry Hartke did that years ago.
And he answered it at all hours.

Even for 90% of the calls that were "Just wanted to see if you'd actually answer the phone" type things!

Nik at Ceriatone used to be the same but with email. Not sure if it’s still the case but you could email him at anytime and somehow he would answer you in about 10 minutes

Just seen on TGP that someone caught that Frank had replied to his post at 4.07am. He asked when he gets up and Frank said 3.45am so he can go to the gym

I genuinely thought for a while that Frank and DI were bots and couldn't understand how they had the time to keep up their social media presence with everything else they do... now I know

So I have a great selection of "classic" presets that I have put together and I am really happy with:  Plexi, AC30, Deluxe, Tweed, Twin, Matchless.  Any recommendations for another amp type to play around with for a different sound?  I'm not into really high gain and I find they sound the same (controversial).

Supro, Trainwreck and Rt66 are my favorite Helix amps.

What about the HiWatt or Orange amps, for some 70s rock vibes?

Try the Litigator and Cali Tex ch1

Hi,

I’m thinking of getting a HX Stomp to go with my Marshall DSL1H, so that I can use the Stomp effects via 4CM, but also bypass the Marshall preamp and use the amp modelling in the Stomp if I want. However, and here’s my question, I’ve been reading that the Stomp can effectively have 2 effects loops  - not that it’s obvious from looking at it or reading the manual. Therefore is this right?  I have a Tech 21 Liverpool preamp pedal which is great and I would love to put that into a second effects loop and have the option of using choosing which loop for either the Marshall or Tech 21, or none at all and use the Stomp amp models and the power amp of the Marshall. Can it do this?

The FX Return on the Stomp is Stereo as its also used as an alternative Stereo Output. I Use it to Send a IR Signal to My IN ears or FOH

I have something odd with the Archetype model - I mostly love the tone, but occasionally low notes come out as flubby / browned up for lack of better term.
Seems to appear on the default settings, it gets better if I reduce the depth setting but that also kills the tone.
Does anyone have the same thing, and is it an artifact of the  model  or does the real Archon do this too ?

Try altering the master volume?

Thanks! I need to try with more guitars but that did seem to do the trick with the one I was playing last night.
I was able to crank the depth and gain back up with no apparent problems.
That model sounds so good, I find it hard to play anything else for gainy tones now, there's always something missing in comparison.

The stock master volume settings on just about all of the models is too high. Most are on 10 which would cause any amp to flub out on the low end. The Archon is a really good model, no idea what a real one sounds like as Ive never played it but something about the model reminds me of an SLO but if you made one for djent. Not that the Archon is only good for that type of thing, its very versatile

I always struggle to get a good Plexi tone, my have to take my own advice and lower the master volumes
