    Man, I wish this was out sooner! I've recently-ish switched to a helix rack to replace my amp in a couple situations have been loving it. Honestly if you don't have an amp sim, get one of these for silent practice, adding layers to your recordings, and backing up your amp in case you pop a tube at a show. In fact I've even considered having an amp for me at gigs but a helix for the house.

    I thought this was a very good review, Lee actually picked the guy to pieces about the functionality of the unit so that you knew exactly what you were going to get from it without actually trying to sell it. Maybe it’s a sale ploy? I don’t know, but it ultimately made me buy it from Anderson’s. Great review! I was going to buy the full version, but for my needs, this review told me all I needed to know. Thanks!

    A pretty killer little package - sure its a bit more limited than full size helix, but I think this is actually the perfect model for my needs.
    I already have some nice overdrive/fuzz pedals (which tbh I've always thought were the weakest - or at least most digital sounding parts of the Helix effects anyway) so best of both worlds if I used this to replace modulations, delays, reverb and amp/cab sims into a single unit.

    • @squarefrog
      @squarefrog 5 років тому +5

      Whoever is responsible for working out the limitations of the Helix line, is doing a really great job. The LT vs the Full helix is a good compromise. And the LT to this is great. Tiny foot print makes it compatible with any pedalboard. With midi switching you can do whatever you want.

    Stunning playing by Paul as always. Definitely one of the best players that Andertons has had on their channel, regardless of whether or not he's 'selling' a product. I'm always inspired by the guy's skill. The interface on the Helix range of products does seem to be some way ahead of rival products, even if others offer equally compelling sounds. I agree that Lee seems a bit negative in this vid. Not sure why.

    Talking about dynamics on modelling being better now, I recently got a Line 6 Pod HD 500x and was really impressed by the ac30 on it because I could set it to be at that perfect level that can be totally clean if I'm gentle and ACDC gain if I hit it hard. To be honest it sounded much more like my beloved Laney VC30 (that I sadly sold) than a Vox AC30. More of that upper mid scratch to it.

  • @TheBarto1234
    @TheBarto1234 4 роки тому

    Really nice piece of device. I was a bit sceptical about it at first but once hooked up my guitar and after playing with the simulations, cabs, modulations etc for a while I was stunned. This sounds beutiful both with the amp (Marshall DSL in my case; 4 cable method) and alone with just headphones plugged in (it is quite easy to get Mesa Rectifier sound which with some stereo reverb/delay sounds awesome). One needs to get used to the limited number of knobs and footswitches but still it is workable. The cons may be up to six blocks which may turn too few for some (especially when you include your preamp via 4 cable method or IR which also occupy the slots)

    One thing that would help with moving up and down preset banks is to program the unit for either of these:
    1) Give footswitches secondary functions if depressed for an extended period of at least one or two seconds. On preset mode, depressing any of the footswitches would change the mode to bank navigation and footswitch 1 and 2 will be for up and down while footswitch 3 takes it out of bank nav mode and back to preset selection on the selected bank.
    2) Give the combination of simultaneous footswitch presses secondary functions. On preset mode, depressing footswitches 1 and 2 bank up and footswitches 2 and 3 bank down.
    #2 would be faster.

Also, don't forget that the vast majority of guitar players still use "analog" rigs (guitars, some pedals, and an amp or two). Yeah you can do effects loops combined with sending to the front of the amp, but this is already miles ahead of the traditional setup, I don't think anyone is going to have a problem with more than the 2 options we currently have!
