Hey Waz, were you just using the stock amps/cab's etc as opposed to trying out some IR's and other patches? (even though I know a few people do love the stock sounds just as much, I was just curious)
Ive owned Helix floor (twice), HX effects, LT and Stomp.
It is “way behind” Kemper on amps, imho, and not based on a “day or two”
Hiya mate, hope all is grand !
No, stock amp models, making my own patches...
Dont get me wrong, I love the Helix stuff and there is just something so creative about loading and creating your own presets. Never tried IRs at all.
The Stomp is cracking value, but mainly scores on size (space saving for your board) imho. Id personally buy a Floor if I was moving this way again.
As ypu know, Im fortunate to have owned some cracking amps, and for me (again ymmv), the Helix just falls short in this field... unless Ive missed some super tweak in the past few years.
The Helix amp sounds are mainly a bit generic for me; the Kemper chimes and blooms like a real un...
Again, ymmv
If a user has tried all of the Helix models, states the positives, then tries the latest version, and continues to hold an opinion that the Helix amp models aren't up to the standard of Kemper, I think I'd be happy to accept his opinion!
I've been listening to Waz bashing Helix for about 2 years now, I really wonder where he gets the energy
My objection is indeed to the "belittling"... quote - "With respect I would advise potentially interested buyers not to pay much heed to the views of people who try and return within a day or two"
Anyway, I'm not even going to get embroiled in all this... but duly noted for future reference...
The 6 blocks has been (strangely imho) criticised, but one unexpected by product, is that it really makes you think about how you construct your presets and what you actually need.
Being positive (!!!), in all, an incredible device for the money and size.
