Helix Talk

I think the recently added amps just sound great. Maybe there's more authentic ones around, but IMO at least the playing feel of the HX amps is getting very, very close to a pretty decent hardware amp (sure, we could still discuss monitoring, FR vs. real cabs and what not, but let's not get into this right here). IMO the HX amps also take analog pedals like champs, amazingly enough this is true for both the hardware and the native versions (assuming you have a half-decent input path).
I certainly complain more than enough about all kinds of issues with both their hard- and software, but raw amp sound quality certainly isn't among any of these issues, I actually think they're still hanging with the best (at least partially).
