I think the effects are very good. Outside of the NAM captures, I think some of the included amps also sound good. This could easily replace Helix Native for me.
Just curious, which amps would you say are better than Helix?
Yes the 'twin tracker' is definitely a positive thing on this!
I find the Helix amps to be okay but I never use them. I have Tonex, axefx and a kemper for amp tones. I record dry with any of them (or a slew of plug ins) then add affects by either plug in or reamping. Helix is also lower on my food chain for effects. There certainly isn't a shortage of options if you want to just sit and record in the box. It's the all in one solution where you can play on your computer, turn around and pick up that solution and walk out the door that presents limitations. Perhaps Two Notes will join the parade with an OPUS MAX product that will include GENOME.
i own the Axe 3,Kemper Stage and QC and i think the amps in the Helix are pretty good.the Helix FX are top,i friend of mine did a video comparing the HX FX vs Eventide H90,Fulltone Terc,Lexicon PCM 90 and people was guessing the Eventide and PCM was the Line 6 HX FX
It's okay to disagree. I like the QC, Kemper and Axefx effects more. Whenever I used to add too many effects to Helix, the signal would just get too muddled and garbled. Never had that problem anywhere else. Using a delay and reverb it seemed fine, add compression, pitch, etc..meh..no matter, I dont have the helix floor anymore so it doesn't matter.
Not replacing Native anytime soon for me, but yeah, everyone should use what they're drawn to the most and find inspiring.
Not an attempt to attack or even find a point of contention with your post. After all as you alluded to, it’s all subjective personal fulfillment. But what a wonderful situation we are experiencing in the days of digital simulation etc.
Haha, yes, I'm afraid that's where we at.Not an attempt to attack or even find a point of contention with your post. After all as you alluded to, it’s all subjective personal fulfillment. But what a wonderful situation we are experiencing in the days of digital simulation etc.
We now have gone from the never ending flood of Fractals ‘more real’ to TwoNotes delivering ‘too real’
The NAM plugin does a hpf at 5hz to fix dc offsets the models produce. Genome may be doing something different (or nothing at all).
I did wonder if it was a DC offset thing. I never use the IR loader in NAM anyway, but is the HPF applied after the .NAM model or after the IR? some IR's benefit from DC removal too....
Makes absolutely no difference if it's before or after the IR, both HPF and IR are LTI (Linear Time Invariant)
It is after the IR.
