Hello all,
As I stated in the title I got to QUICKLY try a Line6 Helix today on unofficial firmware. The feature set is cool. Some really nice routing and pedal set-up. The effects were quite good sounding. The modelling was underwhelming. An upgrade from the HD500? Yes. Leap into the pro market? No. Seemingly very sterile.
I want to stress I still have not made up my mind on this product yet. I will be taking one home when available to try out. Also, if they do some upgrades to the firmware, I want to hear them. The one thing I learned from this experience and the others due to my job is that I HATE MUSIC MARKETING!!! Ugh.
