But I do know I cannot detect any quality reduction when using the volume on my Helix.
I can detect a reducing about of trouser flapping goodness, but that's not the same thing.

But digital is evil, of course.
But there's no good way to listen to prog
The 8" was a bit of a gamble and was relying on the returns option just in case but it's definitely a keeper now, it's pretty loud as well! Every single amp I tried on AX8 sounds great with very minimal / almost no tweaking
I only ask as I'd imagine the 8" helps with that?

I get more than enough bass from it, I actually cut my cabinet at 90hz otherwise it gets too muddy.
My bedroom level is not the usual as I have a soundproofed space at home but it works fine across the range. Taking it to a 6hs rehearsal tomorrow for the first time without a valve amp, will report back
Which means that two "flat" speakers could have frequency responses 6dB apart - quite a bit.

Would be a bit expensive but very portable backline for a Helix \ Axe \ Kemper ... I wonder if anyone's doing it ?

Chopping least significant bits just decreases the resolution - basically bit-crushing - without any change in amplitude.
Chopping most significant bits just results in digital noise. Fine if you're in an industrial band but again, not a volume control.
Finally arrived at 5pm - a bit late for a proper test at volume as the neighbours are in and the kids are home. All working nicely though.
Sounds good, loud, and clear - which is as expected.
Revealed right away that the little desktop monitors I'd hooked the Helix up to before sound very different - a Voxy patch I'd made was ear-splittingly bright - I can see now why commercial and demo patches have a generous LPF on the IR block (which went a long way to sorting it out)

I started with the usual bright adjustments as playing at full volume makes a big difference. It was't instant gratification as it would be from a amp + pedals but loads of positive points as well like adding a bit of my sound to the main monitors, easy to tweak on the fly and very solid tone coming from my QSC and the random studio PA.
The amp sounded very stiff though .. I was using a clean amp (bandmaster) with a couple of drives in front and everything sounded very flat and compressed. After some digging this morning I believe the problem was running the master volume at 10 so the AX8's power-amp simulation was compressing everything. After sorting that out it sounds a bit more natural, shame won't have another session prior to our gig next Friday!
I guess it will take a few gigs / rehearsals to get it sounding exactly like I want but I can see the benefits already. The portability as well is amazing. I could potentially take everything with me (including the QSC on its gigbag) on the train easily.
@Vibetronic - verdict on the Laney?
