That pull me under demo, the helix nails the clean, the ax8 nails the dirt. Great demo. I have the ax8. Love it. I never tweak it on the unit itself, it is a major pain. The ax8 edit software is very easy to use though.

AX8 sounds better for me. More dry, simple, presence, definition, sounds better for my taste...

Helix has come a long way..The AX8 feels better, more expensive....Soundwise, both sound amazing..There is a bit more having to dial out harsh and muddy freq with Helix, AX8 sounds great weith eerything flat..I just came across anAX8 for $625 (..never been opened!!) I think I'm goiung to sell my Kemper and put some $$ in the bank.

i had both units : i have actually an AX8...for the sounds, it's wondeful and a way better feeling than the helix. But it's a real nightmare without a computer (don't expect to make changes on the fly on stage with your band with the awful screen and awful navigation... ), AX8 edit is perfect, and/or i'm using fractpad with my ipad for editing (much easier) , The Helix is sooo easy to program on the fly, but the feeling/sound is less perfect. If you are running in 4CM or 7CM: helix is way better for complex routing. and i don't like the HX EDIT (it's easier to edit on the helix screen than on the computer... just the opposite of the ax8 lol ) .... at the end, i'm thinking selling the ax8 for..... Quad Cortex ???

@@dantredogborsa7048 more definition/clarity/presence on the notes, the difference is even bigger on Palm Muting, ax8 is more accurate, helix sounds more 'muddy' if i must exagerate ... the public will not tell the difference because at the end, they are very close... but i prefer the ax8 sound... and the helix UI ... so the answer seems to be the quad cortex :)

Hi Glen, could you share your presets you tested on HELIX (clean, distorted)? I have huge problems with my Helix setting up, I can't make a good sound, I don't know why. I watched lots of setting videos, and when I set up as the video maker musician, it sounds terrible (crunchy, noisy, unprofessional). I use qualified guitars (Gibson, Music Man, Fender, and others), it can't be problem. I would be curious, how the professional Helixers do their effect chains. Does it matter if I use FRFR instead of studio monitors? Thank you!

In the description is a link to my presets. FRFR is fine just adjust the master EQ to match. As a rule I have on FRFR is nothing over 4700 Hz. Insect attracting overtones are bad. kzitem.info/news/bejne/wn2PqJVnmGiTp6w

Do you still own this currently? I am thinking of upgrading from my HX Stomp into a full Helix or AX8 since both can be bought at the same price in the used market.

Yes. Still own. Can do anything on it. One new trick is routing an external in a 4 cable method. Helix does pedals in the front of the amp and FX in the loop. Now the amp sounds amazing.

Hello Glen from Spain. I want to buy a digital modeller but there are so much models that i don´t know. To buy one TODAY, what is the best option to real sounds amp, cab, fx, and dynamics play guitar?. And power blocks preset? HELIX, HEADRUSH, FM3, AX8? And why?. thanks

The most real sounding is the Fractal first then Helix. The most east to work with is the Helix. I prefer the Helix for ease of use sound but if you must have the amp model exactly like the real amp I would choose the Fractal.

I have a cruel doubt! I have an ax8 fractal and because of the weight and size I'm thinking of switching to an Hx stomp, I know that in terms of footswitches I'll lose more in timbre, what do you say? for now I'm using a hotone amp100 mp100 until I decide on it, thanks in advance stay with God 🙌

I’ve never heard a Helix sound like a fractal AX8.. The fractal sounds like the real thing. The helix fender clean amps sound fake.. Where as the AX8 fender amps sound increasingly realistic.
