I started playing guitar in the mid-’80s and was very influenced by the hard rock and heavy metal guitar hero culture of the time. I can let my ears and mind lead the way in the creative process. Whether on stage or in the studio, I’m no longer limited to the physical amps and other gear I have on hand. When people ask me why I’m so attracted to Helix as the core of both my recording and live setup, I often say that beyond the great sounds it produces, written within the code of the software are not only various tone-shaping devices, but also a historical overview of the most important and utilized amps, speakers, and effects from the 1950s to the present.Īs a working musician who travels to various parts of the world to perform and record, I’m able to carry this history either on my laptop using the Helix Native plugin, or in my suitcase with a device as compact as HX Stomp. The analog versus digital debate will most likely continue well into the future-but one thing that cannot be argued is the flexibility that digital modeling platforms such as Helix provide for musicians in the 21st century. ![]() Jeff Schroeder Shares His Helix Shoegaze Tones
