exact same prob here... any preset with distortion or overdrive sounds super compressed on any low string chugs... almost like total overcompression/breakup. Its not the guitar(s), nor the impedance. I am going out into Cubase via AES. I also cannot seem to get levels hot enough coming out of the Helix. Help! There is def something going on with this... it is not just a touch of squishedness... it is like someone inserted a compressor pedal and set it full. I just bought it a few hours ago and have not touched any global settings, etc... only set the unit to send via AES. Thanks! I gotta be doing something weird... maybe the outs? thanks!!!
oh, and the aes out of unit goes into RME card in computer.
