I had a Helix LT before that but there were just too many options for me and I spent more time fiddling with it than actually playing.
I've also just picked up an IR-200 as I miss using 'ordinary' pedals. To my ears the IR-200 sounds better than the GX-100 for some reason, maybe because there's less going on with it or maybe the IR's are just better.
I always thought my HX Stomp sounded better than the LT too.
I stuck with Atomic for as long as I did because compared to Boss and Line6, their amp models were noticeably better. I think that's still true compared to the Helix, but not the Boss AIRD amps. I haven't even felt the need to use IRs yet as the matched cabs are so good. I've bought presets from Glenn DeLaunne and Fremen but my favourite preset is still the one I created myself in just a few minutes. I honestly have no regrets at all about making the change.
I'm trying direct to PA at my next gig (with a Captor X rather than a modeller), if I like the feel of no live amp on stage I'm thinking of going for a modeller to keep things simple. Have tried Line 6 stuff enough to know it's not for me (otherwise I'd get a Pod Go) so Boss seems the next decent affordable system without going budget brand.
Through headphones it sounds better to my ears.
From sounds I've heard I'm wondering if AIRD is really COSM with better cab sims. The fact the parameters are identical makes me even more suspicious. Is there a big difference with the effects quality between the two or is it just the amps and the user interface that's really different?
