amsdenj Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm really liking the Helix effects. They all sound and respond really well and are very realistic. I like them so much that I created a traditional pedal board patch to run into the front of my really old Fender Showman amp and its fantastic. Also experimenting with Redwirez speaker IRs, I found the old Showam D130 model sounds pretty good with Heliz and a Fender Deluxe. That's the cabinet that came with that old Showman amp. Its been replace many years ago with 2 Clestion G12-65 speakers. Nice to use Helix to breath new life into that old amp. Helix is feeling like a really big step in the right direction. You can tell because tones are easy to achieve without making you feel like you constantly one tweek away from what you're looking for. Thanks Line6 for breaking out of the price point and design constraints and creating something special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellM5 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Man, I agree 100%. I'm having a blast with the effects and the default settings are great on them. I'm going to have to try it as an effects only unit into the front of an amp; bet it would be great with my Peavey Bravo 112. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdanan0121 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm so excited to be getting a Helix Rack in a few months. I just found out that with its USB you can ReAmp 2 independent signals simultaneously while listening to the entire mix. That alone blows me away for studio use. I love what I have been reading about it, and the clips I have heard of it. I am extremely pleased to hear the effects are spectacular, as I intend to ReAmp much more than just guitar.. I plan to have it as a "ReFX" unit for my plugins within my DAW. How good are the reverbs for instance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger28 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 +1 to all More Phasers and more FX with deeper editing and modulation sources are muuuuch higher on my wishlist than more Amp models for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
