I like Helix’s modelling a lot, but Neural’s amps mostly sound better to me. That doesn’t mean Helix’s are crap, or that the differences are big. But Neural’s amps mostly stuff feels nicer to play, the distortion sounds less congested and more realistic and there is usually less artifacts.
Helix has a ton of great stuff in there and as a complete package it’s a modern day classic. But the next iteration of Helix absolutely must take a step up to at least the level of the competition, and hopefully beyond it.
The QC rectifier is also not as bad or inaccurate as people say, IMO. It’s just maybe not as intuitive to dial in. People also said the same about Helix’s Recto and 5150 and they are both as good as anything else in Helix
