Sounded horrible. He was using an overdrive (didn't see what it was but it was very smooth and muddy - maybe a zendrive or modded tubescreamer) and reverb/delay, but the sound in the room was awful - clean too bright and hard, dirty super smooth and dull. Used a Les Paul.
Band before had one of those vox av amps - the newest ones that use analogue modelling or something. Didn't sound any worse.
I concluded the venue sounded shit. so all of this talk of valves Vs modelling can be completely overriden by other factors.

Having moved from the former to the latter I would say there's no truth in that statement at all. Love my 0's and 1's

Though I have to admit I never thought the Pod was very good - and I went into the sessions it was used in excited to hear one in action.

The Helix is hands down the best thing I have ever purchased and I've been through a lot of gear. Sure it's got some weak points but what m/fx hasn't. It's a long way from crap. Maybe your mate just wasn't very good at dialing it in?
Sure if that's your opinion then so be it, but I don't think it's fair. L6 have pushed boundaries constantly.
