Catalyst amps is a kind of cool way to demo what's available. I'm guessing they were designed to cover a whole range of amps so you aren't flipping through 100 models, which is sort of the opposite of what the helix is about. More is more though, nothing lost and im sure people will enjoy it. I also wonder what they're like with IR's and a dedicated cab rather than whatever they come with and were designed around.
Hoping the addition of another Invective channel means the crunch one was fixed, otherwise itll be a bit frustrating. Fingers crossed there.
Suppose the hype will intensify for a few weeks now, and that will turn to rage when the update is changed and we get something totally different. Looks as though its a nice mix of things users have been asking for for a long time, as well as continuing the trend of adding valuable bass amps + cabs where Helix is really distinguishing itself.
Would LOVE presets per block, for instance, having some presets from the more complicated delay's and reverbs or even different amp sounds would be much nicer than copy and pasting things in from other presets or using favourites. Even some of the pedals have more controls than most amps do and it would be cool to choose from my own go to sounds from them.
