Thanks for the very helpful info! Got off the phone with Sweetwater about an hour ago and my Helix LT should arrive on Friday. I'll probably have more questions once I get my hands dirty!

Thanks... I used to have a Line 6 Bass Pod pro floor unit. It had some nice sounds, but programming and editing was a pain. I sold it years ago when I too a hiatus from playing. So I do know how to muddle through... but the point is I don't want to have to... I'm hoping this unit will be a lot more plug and play. I don't use a ton of effects... primarily a 10 band eq, chorus, envelope filter and light distortion. Obviously I would integrate more if I get the Helix unit.

Hey! I'm considering getting a Helix LT and have a couple of questions... I am a bass player and play exclusively 5 string. I am an old schooler and play mostly Blues R&B and classic rock. I'm interested in the Helix for its reputed simplicity of use. Is it as simple in a live gig situation as it is reported to be? Also... we tune a half step down which makes my B string a little floppy... can I stay in standard tuning and have the unit transpose down a half step without affecting the sound? Thanks!
