Fractal's low end is weird. It sounds very flubby. Helix has much more gain than the amp and it sounds very compressed and mid focused. I think STL and Neural did a better job here.
Maybe I need to look at them like that. I always felt the "BUT YOU HAVE A FREDMAN AVALABUL FOR GANNED UP MARSHULL!" was a dumb alternative. I still do.
I’ve never owned a Friedman head, I’ve had both of the Friedman BE pedals, the HBE Synergy module, and the models in the various modelers. As a primarily prog metal and soloist player, where I fit the Friedman sound into what I do is as a secondary lead sound. My standard full-bore lead sound is a Mesa, my half gain lead sound is a Friedman model, and my low gain lead sound is either a Matchless, Plexi, or Lone Star model in the FM9.
