Is there anyone here with the Helix HX Effects?
I had a play with one last week. Certainly sounded fantastic, or the delays did as that's mostly what I played with. Seemed solid too, unlike the m9 which has terrible switches

The idea of having two effects within one switch is awesome and caught my attention. But I am concerned about the technology commitment to learn how to make all the patch changes etc.. I still can't remember how to work the complex aspects of the M9 without looking at the book. Luddite am I.

I'm surprised the M series don't do this, the HD500 did :)

If programming the HX is like Helix programming the Helix, then you should be fine Grant - haven't even had to look at the manual really.

SX Les Paul, to satisfy my craving for not having adequate upper fret access. I'll put my wonderful stetsbar on it, thus increasing its value by 300% overnight. and a broken practice amp thrown in with the LP... for the princely sum of 170 of your bucks.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
