What is the most unforgiving amp in the Helix?

[mercifulfuzziness]

Not for heavy metal or any thing.

But what amp would be best if I really want to hear that I am picking wrong, or to hear that the chord was not right?

Or does any clean amp in the Helix does this job well enough?

Clean amps do that, on all modeling platforms methinks.

Helix's Jazz Rivet 120 (Roland Jazz Chrous) will let everyone hear all of your picking mistakes.

Also, depending on how you set it, the Grammatico GSG. There are certain edge of breakup settings that are painfully dynamically responsive.

If you set SAG=0 you increase the immediate and full note attack, and you'll get any amp as unforgiving as possible
(well, also BIAS not too high will increase that transient fullness)
