Why can I not find a demo of the Shuriken NOT plugged into a Helix? I just want to see how it functions and sounds straight into an amp. Don’t really have $1500.00 to spend on a Helix if I’m going to be spending $1500.00 on a Shuriken.

 

Because they're two of the company's "flagship" products, designed to work together. Plus, I'd guess that most of the Variax customer base was probably already familiar with amp modeling before they took the Variax plunge, so it makes sense to demo them with something the intended audience already knows. But regardless...

 

With the exception of the acoustic models, which will sound like $hit through ANY traditional guitar amp (seriously, don't even bother... the most expensive, tubiest of tube amp on the planet, with a 1000 stomp box pedalboard won't help you. FRFR speaker(s) are non-negotiable if you actually want it to sound like an acoustic) it doesn't much matter what you're plugging into. The rest of models will be good representations of the guitars they're meant to emulate, regardless of your chosen amp. 

 

Functionally, the only difference a Helix makes is providing power to the guitar (all batteries suck), plus the ability to change models and tunings on the fly with a footswitch, as opposed to having to do it manually from the guitar...which is obviously easier said than done mid-song.
