I liked the Helix a lot, but not enough to keep it. It had some good tones & the interface is just PERFECT. It was hard for me to dial in the tones & had several things going on at the input stage that will be corrected in a firmware update I'm sure.
WHAT?!?!?! wow dude I absolutely love it!!! and I made a great tone right out the box (something I couldn't do with the 11r, thank the Lord for singtall) I haven't tried to make but 3 or 4 so far.
You already got rid of it?
I thought your videos sounded pretty good... I run mine through 2 L2M's with the L6 link and it's in stereo... you should of waited till you could plug it in to two of your friedmen's.
The Helix is a solid unit & in 20-days I created some good tones.
There is a problem w/ the Helix overdriving the input & or issues w/ the power amp section of the amp models. Line 6 will correct this w/ firmware updates I'm sure.
The tones were good, but not easy to dial in & not $1,500 tones for me.
If you love it, that's all that matters in the end.
Congrats to you & I'm going to look into the Fractal AX8 next & see how that sounds & feels.
It's a great time to be a guitar player.
Peace! X
