It sounds a little different, but still pretty much like you. I'm trying to identify what it is, but not sure yet.

My question for you is: how does it feel when you play through the Helix? I originally had a Helix before I bought the Kemper, and there was something about it that didn't feel "real" for lack of a better word. It sounded fine, but playing it felt like playing a modeler, whereas I have a hard time telling the difference between the Kemper and a real amp...they feel the same when I play them.

I 100% think the Kemper plays better, but the Helix sounds better in the mix out of the box. I’m pretty sure it’s just different which is good, it’s new and fun.

I think messing with the sag on the helix helps though. It’s still a work in progress.

Took a listen with my beats ear pod things and the levels seem to be a bit off. The rhythm guitars sound freaking crazy in my monitor but get a bit lost through regular speakers. More tweaking!

Sounds great! Haven't listened to your stuff in a while, but I love the tone you're getting here! It's aggressive sounding but the mix is easy on the ears, if that makes any sense.

I really like You Let Me Down.

I would like to hear you write a piece that starts out super harmoniously, multi layered, even quick stridently harmonious, and then have elements of discord challenge the harmonious, and win... the battle , but not the fight. And next song goes from there.

It still sounds like you....If you really want an unbiased opinion, record the same 30 second guitar tracks with the Helix and your FM3 and let's all judge which one we like better.
