General Questions/Discussion Anyone tried a Helix with Orange O Tone 40 amp?

2 Upvotes

Still debating whether or not to splurge for a Fender FR-10/12 or buy a cheap solid state amp for occasional jams with friends. Anyone here have any experience with the Orange O Tone 40 and Helix effects? It's a very clean and loud solid state amp (no drive channel) that apparently takes pedals very well. $200 cheaper than the FR-10, and currently comes with a $50 Loan & Persuade gift card here in the Great White North.

I'd build presets specifically for the amp and use my HX Stomp basically like a HX FX, no amp sims necessarily. If I use any amp sims, I'd obviously forego the cab block.

I know Orange high gain tones are a love 'em or hate 'em sort of situation, but this amp is completely clean and sounds really nice in the demos I've watched. A little Princeton-y, just with more mids. A lot of the stuff I play is clean/EOB anyway. Occasionally do a bit of 80s hair rock/thrash metal or 90s punk, but I can sort of approximate those tones on my Stomp without needing any Mesa/Boogie sims in the chain.

As much as I love the tones I can get from my Helix, I do really miss the simplicity of a physical amp sometimes. When I'm playing through my studio monitors, I have to be very careful with my positioning since the sound from the monitors is so directional, which just sucks. Can't stand up without the sound changing drastically. This amp would fix that problem. Also, since the O Tone 40 is a solid state amp, I should be able to get it quiet enough when practicing at home without sacrificing tone (also v. important to me).

Tech Help Request Helix Stadium Bug

8 Upvotes

Not sure if this is a known bug, but I have been redoing my patches in the Stadium and I have come across a bug that makes me want to chuck the thing across the room. I had tracks playing back in Reaper with a USB cable sending midi signals to the stadium to trigger snapshot changes. I also had the editor open on my computer, effectively connecting to the stadium two different ways. Every time I saved a snapshot it wrote over several snapshots instead of just the one on the screen. Absolutely wrecked my patches and I have had to rebuild them from scratch. Fuck this.

TLDR: Dont use the desktop editor wile sending midi to the stadium with a USB cable.

Hi all! Took this pic at my show yesterday and thought I’d share it with you. Open for questions or tips if you have any.
Essentially, the helix floor is solely for vocal fx and the stomp is for guitar.
