I had just told my wife we'd go to the movies when the doorbell rings. Big box on steps. We open it together and it was a good thing I promised to take her out before the doorbell rang. After returning from the movies ... {background music from twilight zone} you enter a room of site and sound, there is an object connected to your laptop, you've just stepped into the Helix Zone! WOW!!!!! Read the docs, looked at the cheat sheet, updated the F/W, backed up the bundle before and after, started creating my first patch after playing many of the pre-sets, and ... well gotta say this is everything and more then I have expected. And I did expect to be up till the wee hours before napping then having to get up and leave for work this morning. Double WOW! I have a show tonight and thought I'd use my old pedal board with a DI box, but ... I think I'll be ready to use the Helix! This thing is crazy easy to use. Thank you Line 6. The amp response using my guitar volume controls is very real world like. I did buy the Beyerdynamics DT999 which is very useful for me and I am making sure my input and output reflects exactly what I am using as the signal path in/out. For the DSP overload info, I put quite a lot into the first patch to see where my limits lay. If I would have read Digital_Igloo's statement about assigning an amp gain to a foot switch I'd be at maximum usage with no pedal left behind. :ph34r: Now to backup that preset and use as my base then modify for specific songs tonight! WOW and double WOW again. B) Next week I will be making various amp/cab/mic patches to hear what I can hear. I have a week off so ... hehehehehehehe :blink: Dennis
