In a few days I will have the opportunity to try the Helix, the Headrush and the GT-1000 side by side. These are pretty much all the modellers you can expect to find in Europe, and I will most likely get one of them eventually. Whilst I want them to be able to do more, my main concern is how well they can do a mid- to late-80s Marshall- or Soldano-style tone – think Sunset Strip. Whilst I have found a few George Lynch and Warren deMartini patches for the Helix, there is little to be found on the two other units. Do any of you have any practical experiences with how one would go about dialling such a tone on these units?
I do a single amplifier + IR comparison, or possibly with a distortion unit only, as I am sure that each of the units can do the effects very convincingly.
