Has anybody used this device with their steel and if so how does it sound? Are there any issues?

I don't have any experience with Helix but I do use my GFI with a Fractal FM3. It works very well. It gets nice cleans with great reverbs. There are several other Fractal users here. I'd give them a look for a modeler. Great with my 6 string too

I bought a Line 6 Helix Floor processor a little over a year ago. Run my guitars and bass through it but haven't tried my Mullen SD12 (which I only run through a Cali76 Stacked compressor then into the board).

I can tell you like every other Line 6 processor I've ever owned, 1st thing to do is ignore the presets and build your own virtual pedal board 1 effect at a time. The Helix has a jaw dropping amount of parameters for each effect, plus the ability to put them in any order so I can't believe it wouldn't sound amazing for PSG - though be ready to work a bit to get there Winking

I have been using a Helix LT for several years. I use it with keyboards as well as several pedal steels. Its tone shaping power is truly useful and amazing. Amplifiers are no longer a part of the tone, or voices. I use stereo output and always feed a pa amp to full range speakers. It is a Rabbit Hole of adventure and new sound power that You might enjoy!!! Highly recommend trying one out!!
