So now that Chad Boston guy is doing a "world first" 24 hour Helix livestream on his YouTube channel. I don't get it. What's the point?

If that's true it's hilarious, but accurate :lolhe left and went to sleep and his camera is on... that's a 24 hour stream?
It's hilarious.
"Axe8 VS Helix".
Here are guys claiming the helix sounds digital... Some guys are acting like tube sniffers!
Let's see when they're good and out and generally available and shoot em down then.

So far, every demo I've heard sounds generic. It would definitely leave me wanting back when I was coming from a massive collection of tube amps.
For those who always been digital, it will be a step up. Sadly, they still won't know what they're missing until they experience Quantum.
L6 didn't have Meyer speakers, did they?I was in the Fractal room all day on Saturday. Most people coming in were playing the AX8, you know what. It sounded exactly like the Axe-fx. When I went to the Helix room, I was listening intently on the tone of the device. It just wasn't there. There was no comparison between devices. Yeah you can do 4 amps on helix, you really think those four amps are going to sound as good as one amp taking up the whole processor on the AX8. Mathematically its impossible, to sound as good. It will sound like 4 amps, but the resolution of the sim, will be reduced dramatically. All my opinion of course and from my own ears. You will see in a month or so. Somebody will buy both, you know who you are.
I can't wait. A new dawn and age for Fractal moving the cheese forward. Just imagine how many of these things are going to be sold in the next year. Man o man. Lets make a prediction. Who thinks in one year that the forum section for AX8 will become the largest segment on here? Smaller, cheaper, same great tone and feel. Everyone is going to have at least one. Andy wood kidded that he would have 5 one in every room. I said don't forget the bathroom.
And nobody (OK, hardly anybody) has heard these units in the flesh.
Not exactly true. Anyone who has heard the AxeII with Quantum has heard the AX8, at least in theory assuming FAS is using the same quality components for the AD/DA conversion in the AX8 as the AxeII. That may be a big assumption as it has not been discussed yet. The discussion has centered on the processors and the code, but not the differences in the other components that may affect the sound of the AX8 in comparison to the AxeII.
The AX8 uses the same converters as the Axe-Fx II. We put the money where people can't see it but where they can hear it. Different philosophies.

I love it.
Function before form.

Exactly. And still plenty of form.
I love the UI on the AX8. I think it's incredibly smart. Looks completely intuitive.
I think the Helix would just both me, honestly. I'd rather see that on the computer screen... you know, like Axe Edit.
