Gore Boards Releases Unusual Tone Collections for Line 6 Helix

The new pedalboards aim to cop unconventional timbres and eerie, expressive textures.

San Francisco, CA (September 12, 2019) -- Gore Boards has just released a 13 aftermarket sound sets for Helix, Line 6’s flagship guitar amp and effect modeling platform. They’re available via the Marketplace at the Line 6 website.

Gore Boards are created by musician, sound designer, pedal maker, and music journalist Joe Gore. “Helix excels at mimicking analog guitar gear,” notes Gore. “That’s great, but it’s not my focus. Instead, I’ve approached Helix as the unique and complex instrument it is. These sounds will appeal most to players who dig unconventional timbres and eerie, expressive textures.” The 13 Gore Boards sell for $13 each. They’re also available as a $99 compilation, Gore Boards Volume 1.
