I guess one of the features is that a signal with ir can be sent straight to desk/pa while another signal goes back to the amp return.
If you wanted to send the stereo outputs to the pa. Would you then use a send for the amp on a parallel path?
Or would you be limited to mono if running it both ways?
But like @meltedbuzzbox I've found it works great as an amp modeller for recording - I've been plugging my pedal board into it for recording and it sounds great as platform (Vox and HiWatt models).
I love the device as a recording interface (after tweaking), I'm pleased as punch that the m series stuff has been added.
I don't think the effects are as amazing as some people make them out to be (and judging from the amount of people that utilise the fx loops I might not be the only one), but that's my opinion and I am entitled to it.
The thing is I still have my pedals/pedalboard as I was wary about getting a helix again. I do have the luxury of comparison and unsurprisingly I do prefer my pedals over the helix effects. But that's expected after years of flipping and experimenting etc. And as mentioned above they come in handy with the loop.
I'm not knocking all the inbuilt effects but equally I do think a few are sub par. Particularly drives, but drives seem to be a very personal thing. Hence why everyone has a different drive pedal in the show us your pedal board thread.
I've not used an axefx so I can't comment on that.
The Helix ones will either be good enough to use or won't. This just sounds like you're deliberately setting yourself up for disappointment.
just try the digital ones and if they are good enough you’ll know soon enough
