I like to hear a few more mids in my tones than what you have here but, thats purely subjective. I dont have a 2x12 recto or any other 2x12, so its nice to have. Hopefully this might show the IR possibilities to those thinking about returning their Helix too.ĭownloaded and liked it very much man. I think I am very very close (99%) to loving Helix by itself with this IR I've created for my personal taste. With every test setup, I grew more and more suspicious that it was the Helix cabs that I didn't like.

I loved Helix Amps into Amplitube 4 cabs only with the amps turned off. I loved Helix preamps through my Mesa Mark V, Stilleto Deuce II, Simul 2:90, or 20/20 power sections into my Recto 2x12. I did this for myself because I really wasn't liking the Helix OOTB Amps and Cabs through headphones (Sennheiser HD280 Pro), studio monitors (M-Audio BX-8), my PA speakers (JBL Eon 515XT), or even the effects return of my Mesa M9 bass amp into a Powerhouse 2x12 w/ horn (which actually sounded best). Will start posting to the Line 6 IR Forum Made a Dropbox account and posted and shared the 3 IR's and corresponding Helix test presets. You will need to change the exported preset "Mesa Rect IR#.txt " back to " Mesa Rect IR#. I had to change the file extension to *.txt to upload it to this site. I have also exported my Helix test and tweak presets (1024 & 2048 samples) with the Cali Rectifire Amp and Mesa Recto SM57 IR. To get a lot closer the real Recto cab sound, try these settings on the Helix IR block with this IR to match Celestion V30 specs frequency range: Hopefully this might show the IR possibilities to those that may not totally satisfied with the stock Helix sounds, or may just want different options. I'm sure Redwirez and Ownhammer IR's are much better, but I havent tried them yet. I crafted this IR to get a lot closer to those tones and get myself closer to using only the Helix. I've only tested it through headphones straight out of the Helix on a blank preset with only two blocks a Helix "Amp" model (not "Preamp" or "Amp+Cab") and this IR. I know there's a lot more learning I need to do. I'm giving it away for free (attached), please let me know if you like it, hate it, or have suggestions.

Ok guys, made my first IR.skipped out on work today to do it :ph34r:
