Hi All

Not trying to start trouble...I have been a very long time Line 6 user (POD 500 and Helix owner) but just listening to the 'stock' Fractal AXFX 3 sounds (263 amps) this thing kills...I just dont think there is any real comparison..maybe Line 6 can update Helix..and maybe its just me but damm I dont get that feeling listeing to the stock patches of helix or third party or my custom presets..

 

What do you guys thinK?

No comparison? I get killer tones with my Helix. I'm addicted to gear and always want more and I find the helix quite satisfying.

Kilrahi ..still waiting to hear something you have done on helix..anything

no matter what he uploads you will  look for flaws and try to exploit them to support your argument. Atleast it seems that way with how you're pushing the issue. WOW.

Kilrahi Just curious, but do you like Hawaiian pizza?  If your asking do I like crappy sound? no

If I was betting, I would bet you would not post anything you have done on helix...

 What is that suppose to me mean? What is good tone to one person may be crappy to another it's all a matter of taste. I like stinky cheese with my reverb. Enjoy playing. We are lucky to have the toys available today.

I know this topic is old but to anyone reading when I first received my Helix I was sure I had been duped and all these people were insane and I could get better tone with an RP 360. I was extremely wrong and I'm glad I didn't give up. I have gotten IRs and I hardly use those now because I've learned how to use the helix to get what I wanted from it. I love it and no longer look externally for presets and IRs I simply make my own and they sound Vetter to my ears than anything I'll buy. Learn to really use the tool it is amazing.

While the new Reverbs in 2.6 are an improvement over the original release they are still not in the same league as Strymon.  Maybe one day L6 will have verbs that are very similar to Strymon.....I would like to see that, too!  But for now.....you'll either need to add your Strymon pedal to the effects loop or just use what the Helix offers.

      I feel that for the price they should sound better than a $100.00 multi effects pedal. My zoom g7 had an awesome sounding reverb. Although I know the helix is different and tweeking it takes some serious getting use to.

Definitely. I'm having a blast playing with them.

I know this is older but for anyone new. I personally like the legacy effects. Especially the reverbs.

They should give us more options on the view style. I loved the digitech nexus librarian set up.

thanx and I will

I just got a brand new Helix and right out of the box when playing my audio will cut off for about .25-.5 of a second every few seconds.

I've tried every output,input,changing cables etc. but it still happens. Luckily I purchased it through sweetwater and they are sending me another unit but I was wondering if issues like this are common and if I should get something different.
