Helix 3.7: The Freeman Update

[SwirlyMaple]

Nobody mentioned that the leak was accurate Someone’s getting booted off the beta team

The first rule of the leak is we don’t discuss the leak

Just got lost playing through the 2203 model with Minotaur up front, through Greenbacks. Sounds killer.

I’ve been wanting to play with the L6 amps in the catalyst since they announced them, glad they’re making it into HX.

If the Voltage as a Plexi-like is as good as the new 2203 seems to be, then I may be swayed back around.
I love the form factor of the Stomp XL but the Marshall tones just weren't there for me. These new additions are very intriguing!

I don’t know what to be most excited about here, a nonlinear reverb, bloom reverb, loads of amps (silver face bassman!), lots of new cabs, a nobels, a feedbacker…

This is a really big one…

Similar frame of mind here. Going to give the new JCM (with a boost in front) and the Voltage some work out tonight to see if it scratches the "modded Marshall" itch that FM9 does so well for me.

Ok, the 2203 is just great. Don't care how authentic it is or isn't, but I'm having a blast!

 

[Lysander]

And fwiw, if you folks are like me and prefer checking out amps through the same sort of allround-ish cab, go for the 2x12 Mandarin30 (default settings are fine) and look no further.

+1. That has been one of my go-to cabs for rock tones ever since 3.50 came out.

 

[CakeEater]

Absolutely loving the new Voltage! The combination of channel 1 drive and the boost is absolutely perfect. Instant new favorite—just after knocking the PlexiJump off my main patch. Plus, it's freed up an absolute ton of DSP!

Let me quote this wisdom again for this ceremonial day:

The JCM 800 is the best amp ever. Everything before it sucked. Everything after it is pointless.

I am going to drive my dogs absolutely bonkers with the feedbacker.

I’m really digging this with the 2203:

You’re right, let me update my previous post:

Just updated. Tried the 2203. It's good. Real good. And it definitely has a functioning bright cap!!!
