Hatman777 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hello All, question concerning BRT, NRM and JMP? Was wondering why they are their own seperate amps ? their real counterparts are just one amp head so is there a reason Line 6 did not incorporate 3 seperate amp settings for BRT, NRM and JMP in one amp which could be switchable via snapshots or foot switches ? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 My uneducated guess is DSP considerations. Providing a single model with the 3 switch option would probably require so much DSP that the user would have much less flexibility in using other FX blocks in the preset. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Ahh yeah that would make sense thank you for the clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I don't think Silverhead's guess is that uneducated. It certainly makes sense to me. Given the core circuits of each variation require their own unique models, and that it's probably not all that likely that someone would use all three of those variations in one preset, you would still be able to switch between two using snapshots but would still have a significant DSP savings over a single model with all three variations. The savings would be even greater if you only used one model in a preset which is the most likely scenario. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind this is one of, if not the most DSP heavy amp model in the Helix because those channels react very differently both on their own, and in any combination with each other. They were separated for those that ONLY want to use one channel or the other and will save them a lot of DSP. There are many Marshall players that don't Jump their channels... so this is a very practical solution for them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatman777 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Wow thats a Lot of DSP usage think we Need More DSP power :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
