... well, I tried keeping all the dials at 5, and I used the same IR for both.
But I didn't loop the same riff, but you get the picture.
Which one did you prefer?

    I like the sound of Native Panama better when I play a PICKUPS Mark guitar with Holcomb Scourge

    I think at the same settings the Helix Native Panama is a bit thinner, a bit brighter or raspy sounding, compared to the Ampbox 6160II. I think the Ampbox felt fuller, a little more amp-like if that makes sense. A little bit of adjusting definitely got them a bit closer, but perhaps if you were mixing them both together they'd blend very nicely and fill in the gaps. I'm all for both to be fair.

    Helix panama is a 5150, not exactly the same amp as mercuriall
