Hi, I just got a Helix my name is James and I need some help with configuring my device 
  
scenario: 
  
I have a ENGL E-670 Special Edition, Marshall 4x12 1960B 
  
I have the 4 Cable Method setup, I can play fine but I am not satisfied 
really I want to be able to use the amp tone/distortion and the Helix Effects 
  
**** Problem two is recording 
  
I have Focusrite pro 40 Firewire 800, iMac / Logic Pro X, JBL monitors 
  
when I try to record, I have tried the 2 XLR method so far it comes out 
this and over compressed, too digital, brittle like 
  
I have also tried the USB method, same result for the most part 
  
example of recording: http://dharq.com/helix-track.mp3 
  
if anyone can help out that would be great
