Helix- redux


It's quite apparent that Line 6 is pushing its way past its POD history. The Helix technology is a new chapter in this light & the HX Stomp here is currently the most fundamental but extensive offering. The manufacturer had basically shrunk the HX Stomp into this very portable format without compromising essential features & tones. Unlike the full fledge HX Stomp, this version was designed to operate without a real amplifier reliance so that's a big plus for those of us who, at performance venues, plug into the house mixer without any backline amp support. 

I just want to hear how the amp modules help refine tone. In my books, the Helix stuff still falls short of what POD had to offer in terms of driven tones.
