Oh. My. God...

Where have you been hiding all these years? Under the basement stairs? Up in the attic rafters? Or just chilling on a tree branch? Well, guess what? I’ve found you!

Until you’ve been shredding guitar as long as I have, you just can’t believe “the sound” actually exists. End of story.

So, I was watching this video of a dude reviewing his new Line 6 Helix Stadium XL, and man, it sounded killer. But you know how YouTube messes with audio, so I was still on the fence. He was using the "Badonkulous" preset. What’s Badonkulous? Glad you asked! It’s a term in guitar circles for a ridiculously heavy, thick, and powerful tone—think high-gain metal on steroids. This preset nails that vibe!

Lately, I’ve been jamming Megadeth for the very first time (yeah, I know, right?), and this preset even sounds better than their track “Angry Again.”

I’m running the modeler through my Genelec monitors, and it sounds absolute badass. Seriously stoked to see where this new rig takes me. Recordings and videos? Bring it on—this is gonna be one fun ride!

Running this board through my Genelec monitors is so sweet! It sounds better than they do!
