General Questions/Discussion HELIX VS ….
Hoping I don’t get crucified…the band and I have decided to get back together for our 20 year album release reunion. I dusted off my Les Paul and my POD XT LIVE. Which still sounds amazing btw. I’ve been playing catch up with all the modern day technology and also using Neural DSP etc to relearn songs at home. I’m a huge Stef Carpenter fan and saw that on his rig rundown he’s using the Helix and naturally as a fan and me being Familiar with Line 6 capabilities I wanna purchase the Helix stadium. However after doing some more research I’m seeing this Quad Cortex thing pop up. I also noticed that almost EVERY band is using it. I’ve been getting some killer tones with the Neural DSP plug ins that I’d love to utilize for a live setting so I guess my questions are Helix or Quad Cortex? Will I be able to use/save my Neural DSP presets with the helix? Thanks for reading.

darkglass anagram seems to be the highest tier right now for amp sounds in a hardware box. Fractal beats it for triple the price for the wider range of effects it comes with.
despite that all the youtubers are recommending anagram/headrush prime for gigging or headrush flex prime if you're just home
