I am loving the HX STOMP

Yeah I love it too.  Outside of an actual guitar, it's the most cool and useful piece of gear I've ever bought and I picture using it for years to come.

 

It's so cool that I keep feeling the temptation to just get the Helix LT.  It's a strange feeling when a product impresses you so much that you actually get a small ping of buyer's remorse wondering if you should have shelled out a little more for the bigger brother. I can't say I've ever really been in this spot before.

I can understand it, though.  I was initially going to get the stomp, but the extra footswitches and most importantly the scribble strips pushed me to the full Helix Floor, and I'm really glad I did.  I know it's not that important unless you're playing live and have a bad memory, but even with recording and screwing around, they add a lot of value to everything.  Everything else that comes with the Helix Floor is also nice, but for me, scribble strips were the killer feature.

Yeah, they're definitely cool, but there's another aspect that appeals to me too.  I own a L6 Variax, and the amount of control that the Helix or Helix LT can bring to that is pretty outstanding.

Yea, I have no buyers remorse because the other ones are just out of my budget range.

I'd love to see some videos of you demonstrating that.

Well, at the end of the day, that's part of why I went with the Stomp.

 

Honestly, it's just a really amazing device. Wondering if you should have sold a kidney to go to the next level is definitely a first world kind of problem.

 Exactly.

Good point - I have a Shuriken Variax as well.  I got it after the Helix, and I didn't realize that the stomp didn't have that integration.  Turns out I had more foresight than I thought!

 

The Stomp is still an absolutely amazing product at that price point.  If I had been on a tighter budget, I would have absolutely gotten it.
