Yep, there are few things that are simpler. You can teach counting to ten with the parts ;) (so to speak). Another thing: congrats to L6 for usability. I don't even own one and just by the cheat sheet (which you can easily find online) and the manual I feel I could handle this thing within a second. Usability is such a huge factor during 'first contact' with a product...and so often ignored..

Thank you all for answering! @DarrellM5: treble boosting with an EQ works - but it's not the same like using a real TB sonically. If you ever have the chance to do so, try it out. There is something different about attack and overdrive when using a TB instead of highs-boosting EQ, especially when using the volume knob. And @Digital_Igloo a higher treble setting on the amp is way different than boosting before the amp. Although those kind of automated changes could easily make different presets for different guitars obsolete. Or at least less 'everything for everything'...

First of all: FINALLY! I was a huge fan of L6 since the beginning of my personal history as a musician. My second "amp" was a POD XT Pro (with a Rocktron poweramp). From there I owned a lot of your stuff (look at signature in case you wanted to ask ;) and always was 'overall happy'; during the Vetta-phase I was completely free of ambitions to buy amps or effects (!). Sadly had to sell it back then and began experimenting with stuff. The HD-series was a little disappointing to me - but that's not to be discussed. The Helix seems to deliver everything I ask of a 'soundsource'. So I glady began saving money for it. But..I got addicted to Treble Boosting over the years. Where others compress the living hell out of everything, put a TubeScreamer in front as a default or can't live without an EQ somewhere in the signalchain I prefer to have a Treblebooster at hand. Not always active but especially for cutting through. So my question is: can the Helix handle a Treblebooster (pedal like the BSM BM-Q) as there is none built in? Not just volume-wise but especially soundwise as some real amps really come to life and others sound broken with a TB.
