I finally did it. I finally sold my Helix. It's been sitting on the floor, right behind the FM3 for a couple of months now gathering dust.
Honestly, I still really like the Helix. It's a great piece of gear, capable of some awesome tones. Add in the great GUI and physical design and it's a real winner.
The one problem I always had with the Helix is that the good sounds were just too hidden. The factory patches are awful, and even the third party ones needed serious tweaking. They were either too bright, too dark or hampered by the lousy cabs.
With the FM3, on the other hand, it's almost too easy to get a great sound. It really is worlds better in terms of sound and feel. The user interface gets easier by the day, and with the FC6 I have no trouble accessing anything I need.
So bottom line: I'm all in, Fractal. So please keep the goodness coming!
