In this Signature Helix LT preset—also compatible with Helix Floor, Helix Native, and Helix Rack—you'll be getting the Paul Gilbert's tones I created based on the tones from his popular Racer X song "Technical Difficulties."
I spent several hours listening to and developing these tones, matching the sounds as closely as I could, and I'm quite pleased with the results. I've included several familiar effects in the preset based on Paul's rig during his later years with the band.
Snapshot 1: Lead
As with all my presets, once you purchase my presets, whenever significant changes are made as I continue to tweak the tones you'll always have the most up-to-date versions.

"Hey. I just wanted to let you know I got your preset. It's actually the best one I've used yet!" - Phil A.
In this preset pack, you'll get the following snapshots:
Snapshot 1: Lead- Paul's basic lead tone
- Introduces a couple of subtle EQ moves for additional gain and clarity for more intense solos and breaks.
- Implements an effect that creates a technique Paul himself has described to give the subtle effect of more "in-your-face" and up-front solos.
- Takes advantage of a subtle Delay as well as the Pitch effect introduced in the Pitch Lead snapshot to create an ultra-wide lead sound.
- Though Paul isn't known for using much Delay, this snapshot introduces a bit extra, just in case you want to add some space to your solos. (The POD Go preset also engages the EQ boost.)
- Engages an OCD drive and EQ to emphasize the pick attack, adding "bite" to your lead solos.
- Implements an OCD Drive pedal while lowering the Reverb and adding a subtle Delay, as well as some small adjustments in the Amp for a gigantic rhythm tone.
- Introduces a particular Flanger pedal to simulate the huge dive-bombing sound effect Paul is known for during such songs as "Superheroes" and others.
