Really strange: I compared IR's loaded into Helix vs IR loaded into Nadir via DAW (same "amp" settings) and I didn't found any difference.
I found some differences in the way high and low cut in the cab block work in Helix vs usual Ir loader vst: in Helix the cut is less evident and you have to cut more to have the same result.
Which firmware do you have in your helix?
