Helix withdrawal and my hate love relationship with the box

[jimbojamz]

I sent it back today for exchange b/c bad controller pedal. What do I do now??  Argh!

so 2 months ago 

I got Helix

I got Glen DeLuane patches (awesome) 

I was sooo disappointed

Then: 

I took the time to read the forum

I took the time to learn how the Helix does things. (especially as regards to its ir's - Thank you GD)

I had 3 practices and a gig going into clean input of a  jvm410h with 2 clestion v30's in a open back cab. 

I was much happier

I got some high gain GD patches

I had a practice Friday - frfr speaker only  Electro-Voice  ZLX-12P 12" 2-way :)

Loved it. I'm sold, bumming I dont have it here tonight. (Except This will be my 3rd Helix. I've sent the two previous back b/c of problems. One was a bad touch switch that fired all the time asking assign what ever fx you were on, as if you just touched the switch.  This one was the heel down not going to zero issue.)  

I figure I can't be 3rd time unlucky?

This would have been a good time to have Helix Native, if only
