Back to the 80s
Helix
*Slightly Updated Preset* - This is an 80s Rhythm and Lead tone I came up with that I regularly use. I'm using a third party IR with it (ML Labs' ML-MARS-HAIR-METAL-MIX-CRUE or MEGA-OS-121-A), so you'll either need a similar ML Lab IR or have to insert a stock Helix one. The "Smooth Solo" block is what I use for 80s solos that have a ton of Reverb and Delay. The "Drive" block is what i normally use for Rhythm or Leads where I don't want as much Reverb/Delay. The "Smooth OD" is what I use for Rhythms that I want less distortion/high end on. And the "Clean" block is just a standard clean. The pickups I use are Seymour Duncan JB/59, so I'm sure you'll have to tweak based on your guitar and setup too. I feel like if you turn on the Mod, you'll get a "Purple Rainish" sound as well. Its mostly all about the third party IR though.
