Out of all the comparison criteria.... the 1 I am most interested in but hardly ever hear about is how convincing Helix is when it comes to just an amp/cab combo.... and the players touch/feel and volume knob manipulation. I am more interested in a convincing amp/cab combo..... and how the Helix reacts to the player. Atm I am on the fence on the Helix. If I do make the plunge, I`ll prolly get the Atomic CLR FRFR powered wedge for the Helix. And I really hope that it FEELS and sounds like I am playing an amp. It has to be convincing.
