My favorite is the Luke 3 HH in olive gold, with the other two L3's close. The BFR is new to me so I haven't spent a bunch of time with it yet. And the AL is amazing too!!! I've been using Mesa's for years - mostly an Electra-Dyne head with a Royal Atlantic wide-body cab. However last year, on a whim I bought a used Fender Supersonic - the 60 watt combo that has taken over my #1 gig amp spot. That amp took me by surprise - that gain channel is so smooth and the clean channel in bassman mode is awesome. I am very strong considering a Helix now too however. Stuff gets heavy to carry!
That's great, I've never tried the Fender Supersonic amp yet.. will have to check it out. I like the Helix but leaning toward Kemper Profile Amp as I feel it has slightly better tone, but that's just me. I agree on the carrying lighter stuff to gigs.. lol

Yeah, I think that's general consensus on the Kemper, but the effects an the UI in the Helix shines. I also read the amp models are getting better with each update, and some good IR's really sound better than the cab sims. This is all greek to me, but it time is near to figure it all out!

Cool I'll have to check out the Helix again!
