    I think that’s the best of the clean ones so far.

    So on this one the guitar sounds a little fatter possibly at the expense of some percussiveness. Pick what you like. In the end it's about what your saying they all sound really good. Best of luck on a speedy recovery.

    What speaker are you using now? It seems like you're going on the right direction

    Grammatico 1x12. I think it's an EV. For some reason, the IRs just sound like crap in the helix. I think IR is a bad technology for what we're trying to do because if you need to adjust mic distance and angle, the only way is to load a new IR. With Helix' built in cabs, you can do all that interactively .

    that might be from moving the virtual mic further from the speaker. It's a bit puzzling to me how I can set a low pass filter for 3.7k and still be getting a really sharp treble response out of the virtual speaker cabinet. Must be a really slow slope on the filter

    Yeah, it's a much more pracital approach, I have almost 1000 IRs on my EPSI, and it's hit or miss. But some do sound great!

    Sadly, i have thousands too. The problem is that you have to use a translation sheet on them to figure out what mic and what placement was on it because the file names are too short. This is the case with almost every IR I have bought.

    Yes, I think that's the best sounding of the clean tones too.

    Good stuff Jack.

    Best of luck with the surgery! Mine was done in 2014, when my left leg was almost paralyzed. Full recovery. Hope to enjoy your clips soon again!

    You still doing well? One scary thing is that I read a report on this surgery that said the average time between having the surgery and needing a 2nd one was 2.5 years!

    All the best with the surgery.

    TBH, my lower back is a mess but there's nothing that a scalpel would cure. Last year, I built a playhouse for my granddaughters and had to play dwarf for weeks. First backaches after the 2014 operation, but those blew over.

    There's a very old joke along these lines..."Doc, will I be able to play piano after the surgery?..." Well, you know the rest.

    This parted out BK is going for $3500, $150 shipping.

    With tax, it's almost $4k delivered.

    I talked to my repairman and he figures with fingerboard planing, refret, hardware, etc., it will probably be at least $1500.

    So, $1500 for a franken-kessel. I reached out to the seller and told him that I could get an all original kessel for less money and told him i'd be interested at $2200.

    And it's got an extra hole in the top!

    No reply.

    Your recovery must come first, so that everything you love in life doesn't have to come last.

    Jack I hope are ok my man!
    And although highly unlikely, if you never play again, THAT was some of the best playing we’ve ever heard on here.
    All your influences all rolled into one superb video. Pops would be proud!
    Get well soon!
