Maybe comparing it to the analogue setup played from say (pulling totally spurious guess out of thin air*) 30 or 40 feet further away would be a truer comparison?
*does sound travel faster or slower in thin air, hmmmm?
:-?
move the fx into a parallel path
there are loads of things you can do
I messed around with this last night in 4CM and whilst it's only a volume perception, there is definitely something "more" about the sound with it off for me...
Input pad is off
@cabicular - have the compressor already, makes a big difference.
Can I ask a question? What's the idea on the parallel path? Not tried that
How have you set the input impedance on the Helix? Try the highest setting - that might most closely emulate what you're getting from the G2's buffer.
Input Impedance is 1Mohm.
But that's a good point, tonight I'm going to compare G2 to straight into amp - maybe it's adding 'fairy dust'

How have you done the comparison? If you've not already, might be worth putting the Helix into a G2 loop, put some tape over the LED for that loop, have someone hit the button a random number of times (so you don't know how it's set) and see if you can tell whether you're going through the Helix or not.
Just to be clear again it's not that I think you're imagining it, just trying to get as fair a comparison as possible so we can work out what's causing the difference and see if there's a workaround.
I assume that not caring isn't a valid workaround for you?

But it is something that can genuinely affect the sound, and if you've got a fair bit of processing before the amp it is genuinely different from turning up the treble on the amp.
