Hi all, finally took the plunge and went for a Helix floor unit after reading loads of reviews, forums etc!!
Jumped straight in checking all the presets and effects out but have to say I was not as impressed as I thought I would be.
I'm running through Bose Headphones at the moment as had to sell all my other gear to pay for the Helix. As a complete newbie I down loaded some IRs after watching vids on youtube and hearing the sound which ii thought were pretty amazing. The problem I am having Is the sound I am getting just doesn't sound anything like any of the videos or sound samples previously heard. My question is should IRs sound the same as the sound files out of the box or do I have to alter settings on the Helix? ie the amps just don't sound loud or offer much in the way of sustain etc. Please excuse me if I have not gotten the subject across very well.
BTW I am using a Fender Strat and Gibson LP but both sound pretty subdued.
Helix and Edit firmware 2.8
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kev
