Hard Rock Riff Tone — Helix

The main riff is primarily a bass line, but the guitar fills are huge and distorted. Mesa Dual Rectifier gives the right heaviness.

Notes

Heavy, saturated distortion. The guitar locks with the bass on the main riff.

Don't have Helix?

See the same signal chain mapped to another platform. Knob values carry over as starting points — gain ranges differ between platforms. NAM/TONEX users: the real gear names are what to search for as captures.
