Line 6 Helix

Cool on the native plug. Wondering how the B7KU will work with the Helix UI - the switches on the real pedal are a big part of how useful it is.

That's a fookin great idea
i was going to get a rack for the studio 
but this is much better for recall etc

@fretmeister appears to have staged a coup and taken over Line6

Cor!!!!!

For those that don't know, the Pearce preamp is rare and legendary.

Ampeg sort of did a version in the SVP-BSP (I have one of them) but the Pearce was the mainstay of Billy Sheehan's rig for decades.

I am actually moist.

99usd to existing helix owners. Almost be rude not to.

Of @Digital_Igloo in a compromising position with a midget and Donald Trump.

Where did you get the price? And did it say how much to non-owners?

@rossyamaha the Helix stuff is really starting to pique my interest - is there any chance a helix-based m-series replacement is in the works? Pretty please??

I truthfully have no clue. I know there are always ideas being looked at, and there is always lots of plotting and scheming. I had a fantastic idea for a product just today. At some point I'll sketch it out and pitch it to the guys. I am confident my idea has already been discussed and either put on the to do list or shelved. You wouldn't believe the amount of products I know of that never got to see the the outside of a computer.

Cool, thanks. That puts it well outside my budget for software, which is a bit of a bugger.

Could've been an Amplitube/BIAS killer, but I understand why it has to be priced that high - much lower, and existing Helix owners who bought it only for home recording would be rather pissed off.

EDIT: On the other hand...if they made it a subscription at $20/month or so, I'd almost certainly go for it. @rossyamaha - something worth considering?

Yes, 399 is a lot for a plugin, although it does do a huge amount of stuff. The VST competition is pretty strong and cluttered though, more so than the floor multi fx market.

I'll have a word but don't know what good it would do coming from me. You never know though.

Consider this - it's working pretty well for Adobe; their software was more expensive than $399 as a one-off, and is less than $20/month now.

@digitalscream totally get it. I have another idea though. Could get interesting. ;-)

OK OK, I'll wait quietly. 

No pressure, but my potential decision to buy a Headrush kinda depends on this
