Car Star TM – Line 6 HX Tone Match Patches (Helix, HX Stomp, POD Go)

PATCHES

This download includes patches for Helix, HX Stomp, and POD Go. Please make sure to import the appropriate patch for your hardware – they are not interchangeable.

The pack includes 2 patches (each with SC and HB options). We’ve tone-matches each voice of this amplifier – the ’53’ voice and the ’58’ voice. The ’53 voice is more clean and scooped, while the ’58’ voice is a bit more pushed (both in gain and midrange).

• CarStar 53/58 TM WT SC – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with single coils.
• CarStar 53/58 TM WT HB – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with humbuckers.
• NOTE: The HX Stomp and POD Go folders include ‘FX” patches. These patches include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix patch.
  

OUR CARR TELSTAR, NOW IN YOUR LINE 6 HARDWARE

For these patches, we tone-matched the stock HX amp models to our Carr Telstar amplifier. The result is a set of Impulse Responses that completely transform the HX amp models, making the Line 6 hardware sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

The Telstar is one of our absolute favorite amps here at Worship Tutorials. It is Fender voiced, but it’s very unique. The cleans are beautiful and full – very three dimensional. And when push the amp with drive, the breakup is tight and refined.

The Telstar has a voice knob, allowing you to switch between ’53 and ’58. The ’53 voice is more scooped and clean (think black panel Fender), and the ’58 voice is more forward both in the mids and in gain (think Fender Tweed). Keep in mind, the Fender references are just that – a reference – this amp’s voice is very unique.

The HX Stomp and POD Go patches cannot fit all the effects into a single patch. For those platforms, we include the amp and essential effects in the main patches, and then we include the additional effects blocks in the ‘FX’ patches. Feel free to mix and match the additional ‘FX’ blocks into the main patches to suite your needs.
