FINAL DECISION MAKING
Helix vs POD Go, believe me if I had slight more money then I will definitely go for Helix without any doubts because of its massive processing power I can use this power to create complex chain of effects to rock the stage and crowd. But If i have money crunch then also I’m not disappointed because I can invest on POD Go and earn, save some money and later on upgrade to Helix, Thank you to Line 6 to come up with such a intuitive great unit that can fill in without any massive dent to the sound quality :).
