forced to buy helix floor if 3.10 has this

1. micro delay, 0.01ms resolution up to 50ms

 

2. sidechain gate (boss calls it "detect", gate can use guitar input to open a gate at the end of a block chain. this is legit my purchase deciding factor rn)

 

2. ability to split of parallel more than once

 

3. small clone chorus pedal. one knob, one switch! 

 

4. Rectifier vintage mode (ORANGE!)

 

5. JHS PG-14 pedal (like 60dB parametric mid boost and a JFET output transformer that likes abuse)

 

thinking about command center with 12 capacitive switches you can use for midi control of any external gear, an AFX3 brought into grid with a loop using SPDIF (zero latency out and back, don't know if you can do that with helix)

 

...control AFX3 effects with command center, octatrack looper machines, digitone, digitakt patterns/mutes, with your fokin FEET. it's so dumb fast to set stuff up with command center. L6 guitar gurus inadvertently set the bar for midi control implementation ease of use standard...capacitive switches and free wheeling roller knobs, touch/set/select/swap around instantly. not to mention

STACK commands. it's a midi control dream box. can't wait to hear what else is gonna get squeezed out of it

Well you're going to be waiting a very long time if you want to get specs on the next firmware release.  That just doesn't happen in today's marketplace whether it's Line 6 or anyone else.  So you'll just have to make your buying decisions on your own instincts and due diligence like the rest of us.  It either fits your needs or it doesn't...no one here wants to "force" you to do anything.  We're musicians, not used car salesmen.

I’d say the chances of 1,2 and 3 happening are very slim... The devs have basically said number 2 (the second number 2, lol) while not technically impossible, is infeasible because it would essentially require rewriting the basic architecture of the code from the ground up - not something any company is going to do with a hardware platform five years in.

I just don't get this degree of the "gotta have it's". There is no "perfect rig", or any one piece of gear so fabulously "ideal" that it can make one's every want and need come true. No matter what you buy, there gonna be something that you wished it did or didn't do. But if I approached every purchase with a window of acceptability this narrow, I'd never buy anything.

don't gotta have it all, I got access to all the stuff via different means, just saying, if 3 specific things happened to make it into the one unit, it would completely negate the three other units, dictating the purchase decision that's been in hold pattern for a year. HX stomp is phenomenal but I can't justify another 2k on a floor just to get at more switches and blocks at once until that extra 2k is gonna gate/split like an AFX3. might be waiting for a while. I flog HX stomp in the meantime
