DrBonkersSndLab Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I finally jumped in the pool and was able to get my Helix Floor from Alto Music. It arrived with no issues. L6 really did a nice job with the packaging design. Right out of the box, I hooked up some phones and plugged in my Squier VM Jazzmaster SS and my Jaguar SS bass. I use those two to test any new piece of gear out because they are the noisiest instruments I own and the Jazzmaster pickups can be brutal if the preset makers go a little crazy adding mid range or treble. Really nice job with the factory presets as I could cobble together a few and do a gig today with total confidence. There's no insane volume spikes between presets on the meat & potatoes tones and the factory IR cabs are not super dark or have a mid range honk like with some other modelers I have either auditioned or owned in the past. The interface is great too, once I got the feel for the joystick. The capacitive buttons and expression pedal will seem to hold up to my clod hopper-like feet. The UI is pretty intuitive. I can't wait to get more under the hood and see how to hot rod things, but the UI does not have a steep learning curve at all. As a longtime Fractal Audio Axe-FX II owner, color me very impressed in terms of bang for the buck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
