Who's gonna lobby for proper Marshall then
As long as I have a Helix I will continue to be a Helix user and all that entails.
Line 6 not giving a F about MV Marshalls, 8 years and counting...

Well of course not you is a Boogie manFwiw; I have the modeler people say has the best selection of Marshalls there are and I never touch a single one of them
Said it before; I'll say it 4 bazillion more times. My "Marshall period" really started and ended with the Atomic Amplifire stuff.Well of course not you is a Boogie man
I hear that. I don’t know about you, but modeler or real amp, I have a tough time getting the glory out of a Marshall. When I do find it, I get why it’s so loved.Fwiw; I have the modeler people say has the best selection of Marshalls there are and I never touch a single one of them
Me too!Fwiw; I have the modeler people say has the best selection of Marshalls there are and I never touch a single one of them
No he wants a model that won't get buried in a mix :)Is there going to a 5150iii thread?
Irony is ironic:
On one of @Jarick many back and forths over the years, at least on clip strength; the Helix JCM sounded much better than the other options he clipped at the same time.
Iirc; I liked the HX one the best.Did I do the JCM 800? I’ll have to check. I think I have a bunch of tracks now I could easily remap.
I do prefer the Fractal 800 quite a bit although I need to turn the bright cap way down. The Helix is just so gainy it doesn’t seem to crunch well.

James get a Fractal and be done with
Solution to this problem is easy James. Use something else.
@James Freeman thanks for lobbying for us Helix users. For a lot of us moving away from Helix is less than ideal/not an option, 1. Because Helix and HX Stomp offers amazing workflows, integrates beautifully with other gear, and is priced just right for a lot of folks. For me personally the FM3 is too expensive and I cannot justify the upgrade. I also love the sounds from the Helix, amp models, effects and everything. I KNOW that the sounds are in there, and I believe Line6 will one day give us a beautiful Marshall or 2.
@Digital Igloo we believe in you.
I have to admit, this is one facet where Fractal beats the panties off of Line 6. Not only are the original circuits there, but you have the ability to mod them yourself if you so choose. On the Helix, you’ve got a Line 6-curated selection of amps that in some cases have been modded. Unless you’re a fan of that particular mod, you’re gonna be underwhelmed.James get a Fractal and be done with
I will say that part of the reason I always sought another modeler/profiler despite always having a Helix of some form or another since 2016 is that they tend to be on the sloooooooooooow side in terms adding depth/breadth to their categories (In other word, they only have a single Dumble, a single modern Marshall, a single Mesa Mark, etc.). I thought the partnerships with 65 Amps and the acquisition of Ampeg would add some pretty obvious in-house Marshall variants to spice things up, but not yet.
For me, Helix + ______ is a winning formula, and for the past year or so, the blank has been FM9. Between the two, I'm good for the foreseeable future. It could be JUST Helix at some point, but they gotta fill out some of these categories, IMHO.
Hey mikah !
" For me, Helix Floor / LT / FX + Tonex " -or- " For me, GT1000 + Tonex " = boom ... done !
You're Welcome :)
