Hey Everyone,
I had the same problem with my distortion pedals. Very brittle and harsh sounding. Here's what I did to fix the problem. It's very simple. Put the distortion pedal BEFORE your amp block, not after. I kept putting the distortion pedals after the amp and it always sounded like trash. I tried putting the distortion pedals before the amp and WOW, does it sound amazing!!! I didn't change any settings in my Helix. Just changed where the distortion pedals were in the signal chain. I hope this helps those of you that are still having problems.
