There's a lot of buzz about this on TGP and I was curious to know how you tone hounds evaluate it.

I'd love to listen myself, but I'm stuck at work.

Meh, they're ok (and no I'm not being some fanboi - I haven't read anything anywhere, yet)! Maybe I'm just picky when it comes to blues tones but this doesn't really do it for me - sorry. I found Blues Lead 9 and 19 were ok, I could live with it if there was a gun pointed at my head hahaha! Who knows, maybe in a mix I'd change my opinion but seriously doubt it!

Don't like any of them, they all lack dynamics (don't clean up). Nothing I would like to play Blues with.

I listened myself. Made by a guy who also makes packs for the fractal stuff. He’a quite reputed, so maybe the Helix users see something they can’t normally attain. Kemper trumps Helix, imho, so the presets don’t make a difference

Somehow all sound like they've been produced using a Casio keyboard - strange harmonics - even when coming though my Neumann studio monitors.
