In this video, Rafał from Noise Harmony breaks down one of the standout sounds from our HELL-X preset pack—a tone designed to be aggressive, tight, and massive in stereo.


We go through some useful ways to make your guitar tone sound more professional and interesting, using tools inside a modeler. We start by using something called a Split Crossover. This lets us separate the guitar signal into low and high frequencies, so we can get the best sonic features out of different amps and cabs. It gives us more control over the tone.

Next, we blend two amps together. One gives us a strong, heavy low end, and the other adds clarity and brightness in the high end. By combining them, we get a more balanced and powerful sound. To blend the tones together, we use a Scream 808 block. By adding distortion, we can push the signal in a way that adds energy and edge.


Then, we simulate DI signal clipping. Clipping is a kind of natural distortion that happens when a signal is recorded too hot. Clipped DI guitar signal brings a lot of aggression to the tone. Helix doesn’t have a built-in clipper, but we can try to simulate it… If you want to know our tricks, make sure to watch our video, where we break down the hellish tone of the Line 6 Helix from the HELL-X pack, step by step!
