I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
If there is an effects only version at reduced price though...
Doesn't bother me that I've paid as its gone now and unit reserved etc and I know for sure what's left in my PayPal account!!!
Interested to hear how it sounds in the loop of a high gain amp. Is there a killdry?
Paul gave a great 1-2-1 demo of the interface and tones too, super helpful.
*edit* Got Paul's name wrong - his playing is as great as in the vids btw!
For me that's what lets modellers down.
It had one unexpected "artefact" though; everything sounded almost too good - and by that I mean that you would have been ecstatic to have had any of the tones on record imo!!! I played through FRFR headphones too and lost a bit of the tonal weight, yet it still sounded more than good enough for silent practice/ recording.
The signal path interface really is as brilliant as it looks btw, super easy, and incredibly flexible.
Two nice surprises in the models:
1) Shiva - hell of a tone foundation, this will get used in 80% of my patches methinks.
2) Octavia - spot on replica, 110% accurate response for that random behaviour.
We played around with some of the quirkier sounds too and found some cool dr who synth-type things that Phil saved for later.
TL-DR: Flexible.
I would be playing through top end studio monitors so sounds like it would fit the bill plus headphones too.
@Drew_fx - yep, when I got there they were deoming the THR on stage (pretty swish btw, great work on that @rossyamaha), just around the corner the Helix was setup on a studio desk in front of monitors etc with a handy Tyler Variax sitting next to it. It was free to play so I'd started having a look around the controls and then Paul came over and asked if I wanted him to give me the walkthrough. Very glad I did as it allowed me to sit back and hear how it really sounded.
If so what was the feel like?
