First thoughts: some great sounds. Cleans, crunch, stupid gain (!).
I tried an idea I had a while ago: I created a patch with no amp/cab and using an IR of an acoustic guitar - sounded perfectly acceptable. Will save me taking an acoustic guitar to gigs!
Looking forward to reading the manual and creating some simple patches for first rehearsal on Wednesday.

I'd like to be able to use the helix tuner, but keep some level of drone going, so there is never a silent stage.
Before now I've just used a loop pedal at the end of a signal path, and a tuner at the front. so i record a bit of feedback, or a bit of a riff which replays, and can silent tune over the top of it.
with helix I can only seem to get silent tuning or a dry signal to amp.
any suggestions?
What recommendations for free IRs do people have?
Try and keep it simple!
This is more of an experiment for my own curiosity than anything else, to compare with the stock cabs and to see how close I can tweak the stock ones to match other IRs.
As a start something for the following
Fender cleans - really crystaline - probably using te Twin amp model
Boosted plexi - Yngwie sort of thing
Something metally. Hetfield at the chunkiest. Either using the modded 2204 or a Rectifier.
Links if you can please.

only options I've found are on the tuner function itself, where the mute option and bits are. They all seem to ignore the preset, almost like the tuner is on a parallel loop from input to output.
just gonna chuck a tuner pedal in between wireless and helix input for practice/gigs this week, cos I've got no time to play
I use this for pretty much everything
I would recommend Ownhammer's core tone bundle as a good price/performance IR Bundle, it's not much over £20 and covers Fender, Vox, Marshall and Mesa cabs. The folder structure is such that it can be very simple to use or you can get access to all the individual files should you need them. The numbering system makes them easy to use IMO, 00 being brightest and 10 being darkest (removes needing knowledge about positioning)
Celestion Plus are also very user friendly as they use descriptive words in their file names, and they only offer the most common mics. A bit more expensive though.

Have you dabbled much with the 3 note generator?
I think I saw one where the guy said the key to his was also using the 3-band comp to keep them going
