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?

For me personally, the main appeal of something like a Helix would just be for performances. Being able to program in the set list would be really convenient in that context. But at home for noodling around I don't think I would like it much. I like just having all the knobs on the pedals to just lean over and fiddle with as my mood suits me. If you don't have to sell your current pedalboard to fund the Helix, maybe hold onto it all until you've convinced yourself the Helix is all you want for both settings.
