Well... until 2 weeks ago, I owned both an Axe FX 2 XL+, a Kemper Rack, and foot controllers for each. I bought this "toy" to go back to an all in one solution. I preferred the Kemper after owning both it and the Axe 2 XL+. AXE had better effects. I owned almost every commercial profile for the Kemper from all the big boys. So i guess you can say i have the money for big name big boy toys. I say to each his own. We all know tone at some point comes down to the hands and soul.

Roflmao!!!!!! LoL!!!!!!!!

WoOT! Hopefully a store called American Musical will have a few "in the wild" shortly and ship one to Charleston, South Carolina... :P

Editor is nice when doing a ton of building and you don't want to have to prop the Helix on a table while you do them. Then you're already in the software to arrange the presets when you're finished building your masterpieces. :)

I guess if firmware 1.00 gets loaded or was loaded, they might not be too far off. :) Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm about to die to get my hands and ears on my Helix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that a left handed Hellraiser guitar?

Americian Musical has now changed ETA from 9/21/2015 to 10/1/2015... LoL! I'll believe it when they ship one to my door. LoL!!!

Yeah... That 9/15 one flew the coop, too. American musical (where I pre ordered awhile back) still says 9/21... I don't really find myself believing it at all. LoL!!!

Roflmao!!!!!!

Guess this one got answered... LoL!!! Now lets see how my American Musical Supply estimate of 9/21/2015 pans out. *rolls eyes*

Would love to hear it! I don't have a DT, but it's hard to believe they kind of just left you guys out. :(

LoL!

LoL!!! ROFLMAO

American Musical is still saying Sept 21...

I like my Kemper, but I'd rather have pedal and processor all in one live. Simple setup...

CoooooooL!!!

If it's the Atomic FR with the little horn driver, they actually warm up a POD or other pedal nicely... I still have one and use it from time to time for small venues.

American Musical actually emailed me and said there were 11 of us on pre-order and that they expect their 1st 25 units by July 15th. We'll see. LoL! 8 payment interest free plan was the ticket, though!!! :)

I'd be surprised if they haven't improved the modeling 10 fold after taking so long between the HD line and the Helix. I'll be keeping the Kemper and FCB with UNO4KEMPER chip, but I like the idea of Helix for live use. Simplicity...

Anyone else own a Kemper and jumping off the cliff on this pedal, too? Not unhappy with my Kemper, either. I just want another option. :) Curiosity definitely has killed the cat as well......... :wacko: :D

That page no longer exists... LoL... but they DO have 8 easy payments versus forking the whole thing out at once!!!

Pre ordered a couple days ago... Not getting rid of my Kemper, but I want to go simple again for most gigs with just a pedal box and some sort of amplification versus Kemper, footpedal, and amp. It will be nice to have both... takes care of those "let me change up again" urges. LoL!

It probably won't be a hub... it'll probably be all by itself on the stage. One pedal into some form of amp. I love my Kemp, but the extra gear at small gigs is a pain in the rear. I want the simple life again since it's a hobby, not a primary job. :) I'll keep the Kemp, though... rack, pedalboard, amplification. Now, pedalboard, amplification again.

As long as HD serious has been out, I'd say this was not rushed. LoL
