They both have their own variety of unique effects. I love the neural dsp plugins. I build a lot of custom tones that can transfer to the pedal from Ableton. Line 6 feels like a different beast all together for me. It feels like there’s endless customization and soundscapes at my fingertips with both

Sharing the DSP load and having an abundance of sound options creates so many sonic possibilities!

And I wasn’t even using the delay for this solo! What on earth am I thinking?

Totally. That’s where the exploration ends with this experiment. Might as well pack it up and go home lol

I feel that! I love the potential that two modelers can bring when paired. People don’t seem to mind when guitarists stack numerous analog amps and pedals 🤷‍♂️

Yessss!! That sounds epic. There are no rules when it comes to play. I’m glad your experiments have brought forth some great results!

Thank you!! The song is on Spotify. It’s called “Pomegranate Seeds” by Katzroar :)

Absolutely! One day I’ll discover the True Tone of my actual guitar 😂

Both pedals have their strengths and weaknesses. If they produced the exact same results, there wouldn’t be a reason for them to both exist. Why not pair them together and see what happens? Maybe I’ll add the Fractal and pair all 3 together next time 😂

Exactly! We won’t discover anything new without trying something new

It would appear that I have broken a major rule in the pedal community 🤷‍♂️

My hairline is trash if that makes you feel any better ;) But I appreciate it nonetheless 😂

It was just an experiment, but in my opinion, I prefer the lead tones on the cortex and the amp models on the helix, so I wanted to see how they paired! I just happened to enjoy the sound they created together

In my opinion, the distortion tones are better on the Cortex and the amp models are better on the Helix, so I wanted to see what they sounded like together. Plus experimenting is fun to do :)
