Line 6 Helix Preset Anastasio23

Line 6 Helix preset for Trey Anastasio’s 2023 guitar tone. Designed around the Trainwreck Express amp and his smaller pedalboard, this preset has a buttery clean channel and a edge of break up crunch channel. New to this preset is a really warm and balanced sounding Leslie that moves from slow to fast with the expression pedal. The subtle delay (less) adds a nice texture and fullness to the guitar and is great for lead.

8 Snapshops to toggle Clean & Crunch channels, 4 different whammy settings: 50% (octave down and up 50% mix),+12 (octave up), -12 (octave down), +24 (2 octaves up), YEM Verb (big reverb with long decay to create the spacey ambient sound in YEM), and YEM Note (super lead to get that infinite sustain).

I kept the Looper in the preset but didn’t assign it to a switch. Customize it as you’d like. Tremolo Chop is activated/bypassed thru the expression pedal toe switch with the expression pedal controlling the rate.

This is the preset I am currently using when playing live with Phish tributes: Touch of Trey & A Live One. I am also using it with Talking Heads tribute: HeartByrne. I’ve refined it for months, continually tweaking it during and after live performances thru decent sized and loud venue sound systems. I think it’s a really creamy sounding preset that sits very nicely in the mix.
