Stereo into mixer via xlrs, panned left and right, one of them with bass boosted on the mixer but slightly quieter than the other one.
Sounded like my ideal amp sound I think

I had a funny thing yesterday...I pugged into my rig and I thought "ew...that sounds a bit harsh and overly bright". So I fiddled around with the preset pn the GSP1101, switched a few things on and off on the Control 2 but nothing seemed to make a difference. Then I realised...the previous day I had unplugged the GSP1101 from the fx return of my TH30 and plugged the guitar straight into the front of the amp, intending to try and see if I would have a "woah...valves are amazing!" moment. Then I got distracted and never actually did it and forgot. Gotta laugh. Looks like I prefer the GSP to my valve amp now
That's through the power amp into a real cab though...I'm a bit less convinced going via an IR into headphones or a mixer. I find the high gain sounds a bit quacky on the bass notes...a bit artificial. I think it might be that I just struggle with the whole FoH sound. I didn't really get on with the Helix that way either.
I think the lower gain Marshall-y sounds are pretty convincing though.

Although the point is moot really as I don't need anything to play in public anyway!!

It sounds best into the FX return of my Orange TH-30 - the overall tone is much the same but it just has more presence and dynamics to it. But again, it looks a bit odd sitting on top of that. Maybe I'll make some kind of enclosure for it. I'm not much of a carpenter though.
Any tips on how to set up patches for FRFR? @John_A - do you find the GSP fizzer / mushier than the Helix via FRFR or mixer / headphones?
Maybe I'm just using too much gain. Or I might be better off using a clean amp with a pedal rather than a dirty amp.
Personally I find neither unit 'mushy or fizzy' is it's dialed in right.
i have mine into power amp input on Lab series L7 amp and found it sounded a lot better set as power amp/cab and best sound was by picking valve power amp not solid state. Also direct to pa or to full range speaker you probs want the output lpf enabled to remove the fizz as full range doesn't have as much natural roll off as you'd get with a real cab. I find with a little playing about going through the diff output configs you can find the perfect one without using global eq (global eq is then free for quick in venue tweaks for the particular venue).
5150 is good for high gain in 4 cable with real amp the model was often chosen over the real 5150 pre so defo shouldn't sound muddy
