I know this has been commented on in other threads, but I want to reiterate and give my point of view.
One of the characteristics of this device is to imitate the sound of the original amplifiers point by point, its characteristics, its advantages and its problems have been imitated.
But when I use a half-gain or a clean amp and I add a distortion pedal, I can hear some sort of shirt surrounding the main sound.
An artificial coating that sounds digital and does not look exactly like the wake that real amplifiers leave.
It is a bit ugly effect that is hidden in high gain amplifiers or when you are playing very often and fast, or over music and with other instruments.
It is heard by any of the available outputs including USB.
I leave here a few tests that I have done to listen to them and tell me if it is what is expected of Helix, and I am freaking out.
Or is it true that digital distortion is … waiting for it to be solved in a new firmware update.
Thanks in advance ;)
