I second this statement. I was much like others here, dodging between new pieces of hardware just hoping that one of em would work out. Got a Kemper awhile ago, and have never been happier. I still try to give the new stuff a whirl, and give it a fair chance, but if it sounds like a duck, and walks like a duck, chances are it's a duck... or someone with extreme mental illness.

Just got mine today. Only played with it an hour though because of work but when I get home I'm playing the .... out of it. So far I love it!
Dialed in some patches last night, still getting my head around the options available in the unit but I got some sweet 5150 sounds by importing some of my mesa cab impulses via the IR loader. I am impressed to far.

iv had mine a month and a half ish now. Im super stoked with it, its solid, easy to use, and I get fantastic sounds out of it. I got a wicked bass tone, and am shaping guitar sounds to my liking but I don't think its a flop by any means. And hey, its being updated all the time now, almost on version 1.04, so with more updates - comes better helix hopefully!
Im really enjoying mine

my buddy and I are planning on doing a video where we both play on M80m's through my helix and his axe fx II and pan them L/R so people can hear how each sounds.

alright, so last night me and my buddy hooked up my helix and his axe fx - and did a comparison.
We ran 2 Ibanez M80M's into each unit. Ran the same amp sims, on the same settings, with the same third party IR.
And honestly, they were on par! They both kicked ASS!
We are slowly working on a lil vid to show you guys what they sound like together in a song

Just picked up my helix last night. Absolutely blown away. Took it straight to band practice and had it running in no time and it was the best tone I've ever had.

The POD HD has one. The Helix doesn't?
nope. The update isn't including it either.

I keep reading that the new amp model is probably going to be Bogner XTC. At least that is the consensus over at the line 6 helix forum.
Line 6 has also stated that the Mesa Mark IV is also at the top of their priority list, but that this amp in the up-coming update is not the Mesa Mark IV. Which is why most agree it will probably be the Bogner XTC.
