Sound Clip- HR, AX8, Helix

[Chris6542]

Really good clean tone comparison of 3 great modelers: Headrush, Fractal AX8, Helix. It's very subtle, but there are slight differences. Plug this into your home stereo and see which one you like the best. For me, I can hear the added texture & dynamics in the AX8 over the other two, which sound fine. Really nice comparison clip for tone chasers relative to modern floor modelers.

The differences are about what you get by moving the same mic to a different part of the speaker cone. Though the clips didn't really exercise the full extent of the model, from clean to crunch to distortion and all levels of output/gain, e.g. showing how the response of the model changes with different volume levels..

Good point Beau. They are all really close.

Liked the Headrush scoop and jangle and The Fractal mids and warmth

Helix was good too, but my least favorite.
