Lol, that scenario has crossed my mind too. I have to give this some serious thought. I'm basically a 'vintage stuff' guy, I now mostly use a '92 Les Paul, a Mesa Boogie head with Marshall cabs and some boutique pedals, to give you an idea. Now all this (new) Line 6 gear, especially the Helix, sounds so incredibly well, it's compact, light, easy to use,... that I'm really tempted to plunge myself into that world. I'm even seriously considering to buy a new Variax (the trouble that would save me...) As said it all sounds great, the only thing that worries me is: reliability ;)
