Little Wing played with Helix

[chuskey]

Working up an instrumental version of Little Wing to perform for an upcoming open mic night. Thought I'd lay down a version for practice and see how it's coming along.

First few sections I play like the SRV version and then deviate. A lot of improv so I never play a "perfect" version, but it is what it is

Signal chain was JTV Variax Strat neck position pickup into Line 6 Helix recorded directly over USB into Ableton Live. No processing done in Ableton whatsoever.

Sounds nice. What amp and cab models did you use?

Thanks!

I used the Dr. Z amp model with the matching 2x12. U67 mic I believe. Didn't change any of the cab settings other than maybe the mic model. I don't remember what it had on it when I dialed it up.

I'll have to try the Dr. Z model. I've yet to get to it.

That was my go to amp on the HD500, so it seemed logical to start there. I think it's a great sounding amp model. Very versatile.

Nice work, I really enjoyed it, listened to the whole thing. I thought it sounded great. There really are some great modelling solutions out there right now.

Thanks! Technology has truly reached an amazing place. To get that type of tone to a recording 20 years ago would have been unreachable without Pro gear. Now a laptop and an off-the-shelf pedal and you're good to go

Thanks so much!

Nice, we had discussed the SRV sound on the Helix in the Helix clips and sounds thread and this is the closest I've heard the Helix get to it, sounds great.
