This is my kind of modeller. I like it.

Why am I even looking FFS? I already have 7 amps. :roll:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

If you looking at other competing products - what is available in the price range that does a similar thing?

I think I'd rather spend $400 more and get a HX Stomp!

That's the thing with this type of product, now that there are so many choices - it's just a matter of looking for the product features you want vs the price you're comfortable with paying

There was a video on YouTube that came out yesterday doing this exact comparison. While I'm not a huge fan of the presenter (Rhett Schull or something), I think his summary of the two was pretty sensible. Different products for different purposes. Personally, I'd rather have the Strymon, even if the prices were equivalent.

I saw that too, and I think you're right - it's a different type of user.

I saw another video of a guy who has a small pedal board based around a Helix stomp, and it was pretty impressive.

The iridium is more like the amp at the end of a chain, which is cool if you have a great pedal board already.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

How much is this landed in NZ?

I really like the idea of having an "amp" at the end of the chain to do quick global changes with knobs.
