With the KOT looped in to provide the lower gain stuff that's my 3 channels and a ton of DSP to spare
Sounds very very good
Gigged last night with my dual Fryette power station stereo setup into 2 Orange PPC 112s fitted with Neo Creambacks (light as you like) either side of the drummer
The XLRs going into the mixer in hard panned stereo with the 80 1x12 cab model
It sounded HUGE
If line 6 released a small pedal just with the drives and fuzzes in I reckon they'd sell like hot cakes.
Helix is great in every aspect except the reverbs, which are presently just ported direct from the hd series. They sound very weak in my opinion and way less rich and 3D than the Flint and H9 that I was using prior to helix. Im hoping they update them soon. It's the only thing that makes me less than 100% satisfied with it.

The Timmy and the OCD (and the Klon for that matter) are indistinguishable from the real thing
I loop in my King of Tone because it has a certain something i love but if I was 100% honest I could take it off the board and not feel cheated
I'm currently running the gunshot for ACDC type gains but just because I like the voicing of it
Again I'm pretty sure I could replicate it
Nice to have options though
My main metal sound with the OCD is great
Loads of chug on the low strings and crisp rich overdrive on the highs
Is that you running them into the amp sims or into the front of real valve amp?
Ps. To be honest as long as it has the 63 Spring and Plate from the M series I'll be ok for what I need reverbs to do.

I've been doing both. Modelled into a line 6 stage source l2t, modelled into headphones for practice and 4cm into an Egnater tweaker 40. I think into a tube amp is my favourite. It's so flexible - you've got the two amp channels, drives on the Helix and Helix amp models to run either as preamps/drives into the front of the amp or into the fx return with the amp preamp either bypassed or blended in.
On the reverbs - not as good as the fx8 or the bigsky, but still very good. Everything else, including the delays, is superb.
Oh... And the backpack to go with it. So that's using any extra pedals with it out the window.
Oh and a Mono Dual Gigbag and some Bareknuckle Crawlers in Zebra for my Custom 24
Happy days
Every time I was like "well I need my BB Preamp because...." Or "I hate those line 6 wahs I want my RMC" I remind myself that to be honest I haven't been gigging with these things anyway... And putting this on a board, with pedals... And a power supply etc etc just utterly defeats the purpose.
Plus the backpack looked cool
The send is typically headed to the amp input and the main output goes into the effects return.
