Thanks everyone! Your info will help me get a better and faster start. I probably should have said this earlier, I know very little about amps. I'm currently using a Boss GT-100 multi-effects...and I found it best to not use its amp models. Instead, my tone is totally controlled with effects. I considered doing it this way with my Helix, which will arrive this Friday, but since the Helix amps are good I might as well take advantage. I played acoustic guitars (mostly classical) off and on for forty years and switched to electric about five years ago. My hands are good but my repertoire is modest. My GT-100 taught me a lot about pedal effects but not much about what different amps are good for or how they sound.

Thanks, Silverhead. On my current Multi-Effects board I use three presets and I categorize them like this: Clean and slow jazz. Good for acoustic guitar tone classics like Blackbird Overdrive like Fogerty Heavier overdrive like Hendrix or Back in Black

I'm wondering if there is much consensus on the best amp models in the Helix? When my Helix arrives on Friday I want to have a bit of a head start on which amps to try to make a few presets. I'm fairly generic so if everyone else really like an amp I will probably like it too. So, please list your favorite amp models.

Did you find a way to replicate the Boss Tera Echo effect? I love that effect and was considering upgrading from a Boss GT-100 to a Helix but maybe I shouldn't since Helix doesn't have Tera Echo. If the Helix tone is much better than the GT-100 I should probably get one anyway. I'd love to hear any opinions on this.
