@definitelynotgore7 жыл бұрын
Fabulo He's done a shootout with the AX8 and Helix, they're somewhere on his channel. Generally, if you can spare the extra cash I'd just go with the AX8 because it just seems to sound better overall in my opinion as it is essentially an Axe FX II. But if you're just looking for simplicity (as the Helix is a much more straight forward unit) and a good tone that you won't bother going into specifics for, I'd go with the Helix. If i remember correctly, both can be plugged in via USB to your computer to use the editor software without the need of a interface as well although I may be mistaken about the AX8.

Great video, this seems like an amp modeler I'd actually like. And it's not terribly expensive either. My main issues with these things still remain though - I hate putting all my eggs in one basket. At home, I could definitely get into it, but in a live setting with beer, and sweat, and stumbling in the dark, and getting *all* your sound through the PA-system.. I'm weary. I've had too many gear malfunctions on stage to let it all ride on this one piece of equipment, and none of them have happened to those sorts of things. Losing it all is a nightmare.
@torchlord117 жыл бұрын
There is switch on the back that says amp to line, which I would assume allows you to set it to a amp level that could go into the guitar jack. The affects loop has a switch for Stomp to rack, so I would guess if you set it to rack it is line level, then you could by pass your amps pre amp. These are my guesses.

@MrThaiwan7 жыл бұрын
In the end all units, different as they are have their similarities as well, so let's get over that. The touchscreen is really a good selling point, though the graphics are how to say...not efficient, it's big and clunky. The stomps are big squares, light colors with white characters and what's the switch on it going to do? Maybe, if there's no more functionality like complex signal paths to show it's okay they have these sizes, but it looks cheap..maybe nicer graphics would do the job. Flow of assigning effects to switches is great. I really love what I can do with the Helix (rack + control), but this is even more direct and easy. Only 3 parameter edits on one page, again with a lot of space on the touchscreen used for these parameters..would have preferred smaller blocks and more parameters...just have to scroll a bit more then. Sound wise, it will get there and have its happy users. There are some real experts around who can show what these units can do and there's even more (me included) that have way to go learn how to do the same. Good sound is as Ola mentioned the main criteria. So I guess it can make its way to the market and some others may come up next with a touchscreen as well. So then we have a headrush rip off. Let them come, more choice, more fun. We cannot all afford the gold standard of the modeler market.

I'm usually very unimpressed with the all-in-one boxes but since Fractal hit their stride with the AXE FX 2 Ultra, Kemper carved out their dynamic convolution but done differently than Sinetefex and acustica's Nebula, I have heard some very good pieces, This is definitely one of the best and the price is very good I believe for the overall package, Anyone that plays live regularly would find this a perfect tool for the way it is so simple to change parameters without having to go to the touch screen.

Neither of them sound natural. They're like exact opposites of each other. Helix sounds too thin and tinny and the distortion is weak and fizzy. Headrush on other hand is the complete opposite, it just sounds too thick, it sounds as if someone boosted its bass frequency. Its distortion has an over the top thickness and percussiveness that sounds completely unnatural. Of course if you play Doom, Death Doom, etc then Headrush will be great for you. For natural tone better go for AX8.
