Absolutely. I run the legacy Sub Oct Fuzz in front of it and they combine super well. I’m tempted to spend time seeing if I can dial the dirt and a subtle envelope to get some “dream” dirty filter in my head, but maybe I should just let sleeping dogs lie
Ooooo share settings??Absolutely. I run the legacy Sub Oct Fuzz in front of it and they combine super well. I’m tempted to spend time seeing if I can dial the dirt and a subtle envelope to get some “dream” dirty filter in my head, but maybe I should just let sleeping dogs lie
2.92 firmware. The looper is doing weird things when recording a loop, then going to stomp mode and coming back
Do anyone notice change in tone A/B comparing digital and analog bypass?
I think I loose attack
Maybe because of the diference of the input impedance? Bad quality cables? I am using 2 short Roland cables
For the sub oct fuzz or the dream dirty filter? I’m figuring out if the dream filter can be done with the Asheville alone still, but I can share the SOF settings that I run before the Asheville if you’d like!
Sure!
Drive: 55%
Bass: 75%
Sub: 11% (this varies widely patch to patch. For boosting the Asheville, less is better)
Treble: 16%
Output: 42%
This variation is meant to stack well with the Asheville and act as a more mild synth-y fuzz on it’s own.
Generally before. I would rather boost the Asheville than the fuzz (if that makes any actual sense), but I may play around with the order when I get a chance.
I tried your settings at lunch!
Both ways in the signal order sound good, but I do also prefer the Sub Oct first. It's a good sound, and I actually forgot about that Sub Oct Fuzz... Good even on it's own.But I do still prefer the Teemah as my go-to drive in the HXFX!

No sweat. The first three are my main settings, which I've got set up with no treble cut as I control that at my bass. But the Teemah is my Go-To dirt in the HX, and the power is in the Bass/Treble Cut controls. It's good everything from warm tubey grit to Muff style fuzz. Add a 10-band EQ block after it for some nifty tone shaping possibilities.
Teemah Light
- Adds just a real slight rasp and a little extra harmonic content
- nice as an "always on" in some situations
- sounds amazing with my P bass/flatwounds (Dunlop)... Dial the tone knob back to 50% for a super Motown vibe. Nice and warm with just a little tube-ish grit.
Teemah Medium
- I turn this one on when I'm using a pick to add just a little bit of grind to the sound. KILLS on songs like Rebel Yell and The Middle
- A slight bass cut helps tighten the sound up a bit
Teemah Heavy
- For when I need some crunch
- A little more bass cut because there's a quite a bit more gain
Teemah Fuzz
- A good starting point for getting into some great Fuzz territory
- Dial down the Bass Cut for more thickness
- Dial down the Treble Cut for a lot more bite
The Teemah is such an excellent drive I can’t fault you for loving it! It was my #1 for so long and probably will be once the honeymoon with the Asheville wears off. But I love tweaking the filters and trying to dial specifically peak-y and unique drives. The Teemah is great for plug and play.I tried your settings at lunch!

And the Sub Oct is such a great fuzz, I’m surprised it’s a legacy effect. Really demonstrates how dismissive people were of Line 6 before the Helix dropped.
Guys does my tone improve when all my pedals are loaded with barefoot buttons?
Because I just pulled the trigger...

The Legacy effects definitely sound better in the HX than they did in the M series. They sound more Hifi most likely due to the improved components.
A slight fidelity bump is to be expected on newer/better hardware, but the "Legacy" effects are exactly why I still have my M5. I snagged one for about $100 new only a couple months before the HX Effects hit, and it's what pushed me to get the HXFX. But the M5 still too good to get rid of. My absolute favorite chorus in the Helix is still the Dimension, which was an M series model. The Particle Verb is also a personal fav, particularly 100% wet.
