Both amps sound killer! Awesome to hear the vented G12T-75 speakers. You don't hear those very often. If I had to pick, I'd say the 802 by a nose, what a shootout! I about crapped my pants when you put this video up. I was waiting for a comparison of this sort because I love Larry's stuff. It's great to hear someone doing these works of art some proper justice, even for just over two minutes. FANTASTIC!!!😍🤩😀
The first amp sounds “better”. I listened to it on my phone then thru a large multi speaker bt speaker and the audio is smushed because of YT but the first amp sounds better.
You make tubes sound good. Maybe one day tubes will sound as good as a Helix!! Just kidding........from a digital guy, you crushed it. IF i had to own a tube amp, I'd own this. Keep in mind that I own over 72 amps that are faithfully recreated in the Helix...........LOL
Is that 72 actual amplifiers? Or 72 different algorithms or emulations simulating amps.? I dont know much about those modeling simulations, but every time someone says cathodes and anodes can be unmistakably replaced by their latest technological wonder, it always confirms that hot glass and a blast of electrons are unparalleled in the quest for sonic ecstacy. I dont quite have 72. But its at least over 50 in my collection. You can't download 'em, and carry 'em in your amplifier's "memory??" They fill a whole room in my house.

Thanks Blake. It was a fun shootout for sure!
Great amp and playing
The Dan Travis special 😊
😂
Sounds suspiciously like Fortin’s designs… fishy!
(Just finished the vid, thanks for this. Best example of Larry’s stuff on YT by far!)

Let's GOOOO!!!!!!!
I think i'd go for the 802, sounds really angry
Awesome.
Is this the same 802 from the Eddy Lenz video?
Sure is!
802
802 comes across as having more girth.
802 is meaner sounding for sure! Both are excellent.😊
