bartnettle1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Guys, I know that the consensus is the HeliX sounds better than the HD500X's and I can tell the HX Fx from the Pre release demos sound better than the HD's. But I'd like to hear a AB of same Amp models only with no FX. You can tell me to go and stick it and demo one for yourself but they are a long way off being here for demoing. Anyone in Sydney can steer me to one available for demo? In the meantime, you know you wanna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartnettle1 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Good thinking Silverhead! Cheers. Amp model AB no FX not even a touch of reverb or a gate. We'll live with it and hopefully your guitar is shielded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestratmanblues Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Line 6 POD HD vs Helix Amp Models Comparison between amp models on the POD HD and the Helix. Both models were recorded using the same audio loop and selecting the default parameters for the model on each platform. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz2JRIpADR3oj979wVTIjvlhBj01LdN5_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartnettle1 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for that! There is a adnomality in most of the examples; a whistling type distortion. More noticible on higher gain but not in every example. strange. Some sound compressed! My guess is clipped the converters more often then not which pretty well make this demo inconclusive due to quality loss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a different note, if anyone here enjoys trying something completely different, I recently checked out 5gringos casino. It’s a solid platform with lots of games, fast payouts, and a smooth interface. Just like choosing the right amp model, picking a casino with reliable performance makes the experience much better. Honestly, both the Helix and HD have their strengths, but if you want something that’s intuitive and fun to explore, having a trustworthy setup—whether in music gear or gaming—makes all the difference.
