GearX2, нельзя же вообще не иметь надежду)
Тут вроде как заявлено, что внутрянка будет мегакачественной. В топике кемпера Миша Светлов выкладывал семплы моденного кемпера и немоденного для сравнения и моденный капитально отличался - ушла муть, которая меня очень напрягала. А мод весь вроде как копеечный и состоит в замене двух микрух на более качественные. Так что если хеликс допилили алгоритмы да комплектуху хорошую засунули - есть на что надеяться

1. The Axe-Fx II is still the most powerful guitar processor ever created. A TigerSHARC is about twice as fast as a SHARC clock-for-clock. Additionally the TigerSHARC's we use run 33% faster than the fastest SHARC. The Axe-FX II has two of these. Therefore it's got about three times the power of a Helix.
2. The upcoming AX-8 has the exact same DSP complement as the Helix. It will therefore be equal in processing power. We also have many years of experience in code optimization. I've been writing DSP code for Analog Devices DSPs for over 20 years. I guarantee our algorithms are at least as efficient if not more so.
3. Our modeling algorithms are the best in the world. They are very detailed and require lots of processing power. We could've easily designed the AX-8 to run four amp models but the decision was made to use the same algorithm as the Axe-Fx II. This algorithm is extremely detailed and only one instance would run with the available processing power.
4. The Helix is a "check the boxes" product. It's all about features. If a myriad of features is what you want then it's the product for you. A big, color LCD is pretty and all but it doesn't improve the sound quality. It's also very expensive which means that you can be sure that pennies were pinched elsewhere to meet the cost target. Our research shows that most people do their editing on a computer so why put an expensive color display into something when it's not necessary. Put the money into the important stuff like signal path and processing power.
5. We don't skimp on the design inside. All Fractal Audio products use full-differential analog processing which is expensive. I can almost guarantee that the Helix will be a single-ended design as all their previous products are single-ended. We also use premium op-amps and film caps whereas competitors use cheap TL07x op-amps and electrolytic caps. The results of this philosophy are manifested in the FX-8. It is the first all-digital effects processor that has zero "tone suck". No one else was able to do it until now. But it wasn't cheap to do that. It requires expensive components and careful design.
It's about a difference in design philosophy. Do you want something that looks pretty and has a bunch of bells and whistles or do you want something that is purpose-built for the absolute best sound quality. The Helix is an attractive product with a lot of features. Our products aren't as pretty and don't have all those features. But they are the best modelers in the world and that's our design philosophy. Do you want an Olympus or a Leica. I'll take the Leica.
Edit: I want to be clear that I think the Helix is a fine product (as I said earlier). It's a different design philosophy and if that philosophy resonates with you then you should buy that.
Собственно есть серъезные подозрения, что хеликс будет немного лучше пода. Но вряд ли лучше фракталов и кемпера.
Вообще так и хочется сказать что лайн 6 упоролись - если они так уверены в качестве звука, то в первую очередь надо пройтись по Энглунду, Мерроу , Лумису, Флаффу, Тому Квейлу - вобщем по гитаристам с большой аудиторией. Это моё личное мнение - мне нужна просто коробка с кнопками "митал", "соло" и "чистый" и чтобы они хорошо звучали. Пока что у хеликса расхваливают функционал, а то, что из него выжимают мне не очень нравится. Вернее - звук на 500$ имхо, но не на 1500$
