Line 6 Helix, anyone yet ??

[faisalbaig]

So any early buyers ?
Want one for 4CM fx with my JVM410H.
Also for rare fly gigs for a portable floor solution.

I could do Fractal FX8, but then my fly rig would suffer; could do AX8 but fx and 4CM would suffer.
Helix seems to have best features for me......but i never liked any Pod!!!

A friend got one and already returned it. His exact words were "I thought it looked cool and was sturdy, still sounded consumer-ish to me." YMMV.

.....i was kind of fearing that.

The Ax8 isn't meant for 4CM according to what Cliff from Fractal said.

I got mine yesterday. Very cool unit and so many options it's crazy. I only purchased it for effects and channel switching for my Friedman but it after trying it though my hs8 studio monitors and liking the results I may try it with my matrix amp and a couple cabs in stereo.

Yes that's were the rubber meets the road.

I am more interested in the FX and stomp boxes for 4CM. But i read a review where the new user felt that the FX weren't enough and L6 could easily have given more effects.

Ended up purchasing a Friedman ASM-12 and it sounds killer!
