First Helix for me, although the other guitarist in our band has the big one and loves it. I've always been a tube amp guy so this is a change - but I'm getting tired of dragging all that poundage to sports bar gigs :)
The amp/cab sims sound good, much better than the last modeler I had, a Vox from about ten years ago. The tech has greatly improved. All the effects sound fine, although some of the overdrive sims aren't quite as good as the pedals they emulate. I do like the Minotaur, that's my favorite so far.
The interface is logical and not too fussy - there will always be a bit of fuss when you have limited buttons. One design flaw is the constantly blinking red tap/tuner light - whoever thought that was a good idea doesn't play on stage. Nothing worse than a flashing red light to harsh your buzz. I turned it off in global settings. Too bad it can't just be on in dim mode.
It's finally more than I really need, but I wanted something of high quality that I could run directly into FOH. This weekend I'll be testing it in my home PA to see how it sounds.
