We all know how to create a great rhythm tone for chugging at this point. But how about creating a great tone for soloing and shredding?
This is me asking for advice btw, I have my own method I just don't like the results I get most of the time.
The way I do it for example I'll start with the base tone, the rhythm patch on the Helix. I'll increase the Master saturation, maybe the gain, use a different pedal in front of the amp. Then add delay and reverb. Maybe change the IR / mic position a little bit.
But this method isn't my favourite.
The best results I've had have been from using more "vintage" style amps with lots of mids instead of high gain and just trying to find the right pedal to use in front of it.
Sadly my knowledge of pedals aside from the normal tube screamer for chugging or boosting is very limited.
You know there's lead tones that don't say much, it's just like a rhythm patch with delay and reverb. But some of them feel like they sing, and make playing solos a lot more attractive. That's what I'm trying to get I guess.
What are your techniques to make some awesome lead patches?
