Totally agree that I have already been through this painful part on Kemper so will try to persevere to properly compare.
I can can also see where people hit the limitations of the Stomps blocks once IR and EQ is added along with the other elements for a patch.
Its for reasons like this I tell people to beware of the guys who haven't spent much time with gear slagging it off. Be it Helix or Kemper or whatever
I started all this with a Suhr Load Box and IRs on a Torpedo CAB (Two Notes and many, many 3rd Party). IRs have been a big part of what changed everything for me. So yes, I tried my favourites and many other IRs with Fractal and Helix products and they STILL didn't sound as good as how I feel the Kemper does. Good is subjective though and it's absolutely ok to love both.

That’s the beauty of our beloved Forum...
And for the last time, I am not “slagging off” Helix (one of your many false assumptions). Like many on this very thread, I simply prefer Kemper amp profiles. Just an opinion. I might be wrong. Simples.
But thanks for helping me actually...
My Helix Stomp hasnt been returned yet, but if Ive got to go down the IR rabbit-hole to make it work amp-wise, maybe a return is the best option...
I'm sorry, I forgot I was talking to a forum big deal whom other members read their post history during their spare time. I know it's my favourite toilet companion
@Wazmeister - ignore this guy. He's turning this thread into TGP!
PS. For all those saying that in a band mix, people wouldn't notice the difference, I don't care about that. What I do care about is being inspired to play by the tone coming out of my gear every time I plug in. Helix doesn't do that for me. Yet.
PPS. The sooner @Wazmeister starts buying valve amps again, the sounder I'll sleep at night.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Jeeezzz...
