The cab block rule

Cab block ON into anything full-range: headphones, an FRFR speaker, the desk, your computer. Cab block OFF into anything that ends in a real guitar speaker. A cab block is a speaker simulation. Into a real cab it stacks two speakers. Left off into a full-range system, you hear a raw amp with no speaker at all.

Helix 3.80 Owner's Manual

There is a Preamp version of every Amp model. It is the preamp stage only, without the power amp. Use it when you feed a real power amp: your amp's effects return, a Powercab, or a DT-series amp over L6 LINK. It also costs less DSP than the full Amp block.
