Moving to Helix, am I an idiot? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

Ok, I've cracked. I have a nice pedal board and I can get some nice sounds from it. But I'm selling almost all of it and moving to Helix. Keeping a rams head muff and blues driver. But the expandability, versatility, simplicity of setup and no need to worry about patch cables, power supplies etc..

Am I going to regret it?

I use a Helix (the big full floorboard one), but I also have a small collection of pedals. I would say its just a big guitar pedal at the end of the day. I will say that stacking lots of effects and amps internally can limit what you run, the DSP is about 6 years out of date - but still powerful if you're careful.

I'd say keep a couple of good drives (which you are), but also keep a flanger as the models in there are not my fave. If you love ambient verbs (eg Strymon/Eventide) then keep one of those. The Helix verbs are good, though, just DSP intensive.
