I'm assuming that you are creating your own custom patches?
I had a hard time using the out-of-the-box patches with my Stick.

The Helix Floor is very intuitive after about 15 minutes of experimenting.
The biggest gain for me was using Impulse Responses within my patches.

I recently purchased the Tonex Pedal. It's fantastic for guitar.
It only has one input, so for the Stick I'm still working out the details.

I saw you using the Line 6 Helix on stage?
Can you describe your gear and setup for us?


Yeah I'm using the Helix.
So in a sense the setup is simple if you can call Helix that.

Just the Stick straight into the returns of the Helix and out to PA on stage or into the soundcard inputs if at home.
I'm using the returns of Helix because there are no two dedicated inputs with identical sensitivity.

Inside the Helix I'm most of the time processing the Stick sides separately even if identically, that gives me clarity with distortion, so that the two sides won't modulate each other.

Sometimes though when I want the sound of a single guitar riff, I'll use mono distortion/amp drive. Otherwise it'll start to sound like Thin Lizzy.

When I'm recording at home I use Helix Native instead. Then the Helix floor acts just as a MIDI controller.

I was looking and listening again this morning your video. It's really good. I notices that you slower the beat at the end...even for the drums. I guess you had to work on this also. Well...it sounds great. Congrats.


Yeah, I thought of several ways how to wrap it up and the ritardando seemed like a thing that would work.
Initially it was more extreme, but I decided to a more moderate version.

Yeah, I'm making my own. Occasionally I do go through the factory patches to get some ideas I wouldn't normally come up with.

Tonex is interesting, but I've discarded it for that very reason - mono in only.

Helix is great but a bit bulky to be mobile. The Helix stomp is OK for smaller patches and countryside practicing. I got a battery bank for that.

I've listened to your performance at least once a day since you posted it. Seriously epic. Started attempting to tab it out as I really want to learn it.

Just the best and makes me want to play the stick more again.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Awesome to hear that my version has been an inspiration!

I'll send you the tabs, so that the process will be easier.

This cover is great, had listened to it more than a dozen times already.

I have a quite a short list of songs which I find to be impressive showcase for the Stick. I use that list as an answer to question "what is that Stick and what is it good for. And this video definitely is in that list now.

P.S.
I am also interested in tabs, if possible.
