So I am looking into buying a Helix potentially but I have some reservations. I absolutely hated the sound of the HD500. It came off as flat ,boxy, and "small" to me. Unfortunately I live in an area where I dont have any stores I can go and try it in. Does the Helix sound similar to the hd500 or is it completely different? I don't really use any real amps. I mostly use guitar rig, lepou, scuffham etc on my pc.
