My Signature Soldano SLO-100 Tones (Helix Preset)

Update 11-2-23: For this new update:

• I switched all the effects after the cab to Stereo effects.
• I added a Dual Pitch to simulate a slight detune effect to compliment the cab delay settings for a more stereo sound for the LEADSpread snapshot.
• I also changed the chorus to a Trinity Chorus for more of that classic 80s rock vibe.

Feel free to enable this for the RTHMSpread shapshot or anywhere else you wish to have a more stereo sound without modulation.

Massive Update 10-19-23: I've just finished updating loads of stuff on my signature preset. Here's a preview:

• New dual-cabs settings for maximum tone customization
• Added a wah-wah pedal
• Added an octaver pedal
• Improved compression response
• Added 4 new Snapshots
• Continue reading for more

Welcome to the first of many signature presets and tones I'll be creating on my new Line 6 Helix LT. This tone was originally recreated based on a tone I've been using for years on my Eleven Rack.

There are several disabled effects that you could enable or change—such as Chorus and EQ—if you wanted just for the sake of making the tones more interesting. You can also move the Delay and Reverb blocks to a parallel path for a more subtle effect, sort of like an effects loop. Feel free to tweak to your personal tastes; by all means, make these tones your own.

In this preset pack—compatible with Helix, Helix LT, Helix Rack, and Helix Native—you'll get the following snapshots:

Snapshot 1: SLO Clean

• Solo Lead Crunch amp

Snapshot 2: SLO Dirty

• Solo Lead Crunch amp with a touch of Overdrive

Snapshot 3: SLO Lead

• Solo Lead OD amp

Snapshot 4: Cln Phone

• Uses a Parametric EQ on the Slo Lead Crunch model for a cool telephone effect

Snapshot 5: Alt Lead

• Uses the Slo Lead Crunch model with a bit of overdrive as a gain boost

Snapshot 6: RTHMSpread

• Makes use of the new dual-cabs with the Solo Lead OD amp and engages the chorus to create a wide stereo guitar effect as if two rhythm guitars were playing simultaneously

Snapshot 7: LEADSpread

• Similar to Snapshot 8 but instead of the chorus, a Dual Pitch effect is engaged. This stereo effect creates an in-your-face effect so listeners will take your solos seriously

Snapshot 8: Baditude

• Based on an original song by the same name, this snapshot uses the Slo Lead Crunch model with the octaver engaged
