Don't know. Don't know if it's any good either. It came across my desk, so I just put it out there in case people are interested .

I actually don't have any current need for one, but they're giving one away every hour at NAMM so I'll probably win one.

I just showed it to the lady who runs our open mics and who owns the back line and she likes it.

I love this time of year, why ?
because so many many many people think if they just get this new amp, or this new guitar, or new mic..........then they just knowwwwwwwwwwww they will totally rock.
So they sell their pristine old shit to guitar center to help pay for the new purchase, and then I walk in and buy at a discount

thats not bad, I have been looking at a unit like this for blues jams

I don't know what that one is like or how it compare to the Helix FX unit. I have one for the Helix FX units and it is really handy. All your effects in 1 box. I bought mine used at $400. I think I got a good deal but there are others out there in the $400 range. I find these units are cool as long as you do not try to do too much with them.

yeah, thats kind of the idea, I have an avid 11 rack I use for most things......I was thinking something like this could be great for jams and casual get togethers

The one thing from that roundup that is getting the most buzz is the Neural DSP Quad Cortex. Even the Kemper people are drooling over it.

Yeah it has started butt-hurt wars on the Helix Facebook groups. It sounds pretty reactive and I love the twisty foot switches and the drop and drag touchscreen.
I could care less about the processor. To me it's all about the sounds and the I/O. And right now it looks like it will be selling direct, which sucks.
But with any modeler, more so than an amp, until you get it in front of you and play with it you don't know, because the patches are usually colored with delay, reverb and possibly post processing.
Unfortunately that's what I am finding with the Helix floor, and looks like it is going back.
Anyway, this seemed like a decent sound test, Rabib from Anderton's did another that was pretty good but I can't find it now.
Dan5150 got a chance to check it out a bit and was impressed. He and Griff were talking about it at dinner last night.

I noticed I have heard nada about Headrush stuff since the initial splash and when they released the smaller Gigboard. I have one of them but it's languishing in the carrybag for now because I realized I don't have a clue how to use it effectively and I'm better off with a proper knobby amp in front of me for now.
Was the HR unit such a flop that it's not even compared to this new stuff like the Helix is? I figured with 11R tech in it, it had to be on solid ground but maybe not?
