Clean tones don’t always have to be... well, clean. In this video, I walk you through two of my go-to HX Stomp/Helix clean tones—both drenched in vibe, with subtle breakup, movement, and dimension. These are the kind of tones that actually inspire ideas, not just fill space.
One preset is built with all stock blocks (you’re covered there), and the other uses a York Audio IR, which I link below if you want the full flavor.

⚙️ What’s In These Presets
Parallel delay path with crossover and reverb for that music box feel
Tone snapshot variations: lush ambient, lo-fi, and up-front “amp in a room”
Custom delay/reverb blends for a roomy, spaced-out tone
Fully stock preset: “Ambient Follows A&B”
IR-based preset: “Vibe” using York Audio KW 4x12 M25 IR (Mix 04)

🎸 Guitars & Settings
Solar baritone tuned to Drop Ab
Using Line 6 “Clarity” and “Ator Clean” amps
Snapshot-controlled delays, reverbs, EQ, and optional dirt
Parametric EQs to clean up boxy mids and high fizz
Dynamic ambience for realistic depth without killing articulation

🧠 What You'll See Me Do
Talk through how I dial in clean tones that aren’t boring
Use parallel delay routing to shape vibe-heavy sounds
Tweak reverbs and snapshots for feel and flexibility
Show you exactly how I use these tones in songwriting
