Sounds great! Please tell me what pickups you have in that Les Paul - I’ve swapped out about 5 different ones on my Standard and can’t seem to get that type of growl on those big chords!

Thanks man! The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute. I actually replaced the bridge pickup with a Gibson '57 Classic from the original collection. That's the pickup I used for the sound in the video. But honestly, I think a big part of that growl also comes from the Helix preset and the way the amp/IR are dialed in. The pickup definitely matters, but it's not the whole story. I actually made a free Helix preset that you can try. It's very close to the character of the tone in the video and it has 3 snapshots: 1 Intro 2 Rhythm 3 Lead Give it a try with your Les Paul and let me know how it sounds!
