If I plug a Helix (or Stomp) into an FRFR, or my laptop running Native, both with the same presets, can I get the same sound? or will it be noticeably different? I'm using Native at the moment, and want to buy a Fender FR-10 to jam at a friends house, and am trying to decide if the laptop will suffice or if I need to buy a modeler again. I'm assuming for laptop I'll need Native > Audio Interface > FRFR? Any advice would be great!

Thanks so much for this info, channel volume has been a game changer for me and I've completely ignored it until now!

Looking for advice on how to set volume in Native. It seems I always need to bump up the main volume by 3-5db, but so many presets vary, some I need to lower it. Whats the best way to balance my favourite presets so that there's no big jumps in volume? Where should I be making adjustments? Any tips on volume would be great!

For most of this year I’ve tried coming back to Helix because I want to love it, I love John Cordy’s tones and want to use them. Every time I try, I feel like it sounds lifeless, I open up some Neural DSP plugins and immediately get what I want. I just discovered that it sounds great through my HD600 headphones, I try my studio monitors (Presonus Eris E5) and it sounds lifeless again. I’m confused because it’s only Helix that doesn’t sound good through my monitors, other plugins and my Quad Cortex sound great, I just assumed I didn’t like Helix but now that it sounds good through headphones I’m excited to use it and hopefully find out how to improve the sound through my monitors. Any tips or ideas??
