Hi, first timer here.
I'm on the fence on the Helix, so I'm hoping some of you can give me some advice. My current setup is an Eleven Rack with a GT-100 in the effects loop running into a Focusrite Clarrett. I recently bought both the Clarrett and GT-100 and can return both. My thought is I can simplify my recording rig by just using the Helix. So my questions are:
1) Are you guys having success recording direct with the Helix? I have tried with the Eleven Rack and it worked fine, but I liked using an interface better.
2) I still have a Scarlett 6i6 and was thinking I could record direct-in with the helix and monitor with the Scarlett via the DAW.
3) Can anyone give me an opinion of the Helix vs Eleven Rack regarding the Amp modeling? I do clean Ambient stuff and a little harder alternative style (and a little Hendrix, blues, etc for fun)
4) Last question - Actual effects on Helix compared to GT-100? It sounds like the Helix wins here, but it's hard to tell on youtube sometimes.
Thanks in advance for the help. I think I'm sold on the Helix, but I just don't want to hassle with yet another return, and figured some of you guys would have had similar choices/questions.
