I haven't watched this properly but I think it is what I said.

I like my TurboTuner more (a lot more) but the Helix one works.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
For me it's about the sounds and at the moment eventide win that competition (for me).
I would also challenge complete rig (I really dislike that term, it's not an oil platform) as the drive pedals sound properly pony. Even the old m series struggled on that front.
If your pursuit is for the best sounds, no multi ever covers it all, even if it does have all the bells and whistles

To be honest, I'm really thinking of ditching all my pedals and getting this. I love having an amp for live work (just because people know how to deal with amps) helix FX would take away the different boards I have for various projects and be a damn site smaller.
Just, ya know I like pedals damn it.
But I'm really struggling to think of a reason outside of that not to buy it.
Most original bands playing 3/4 or even 5 band bills simply don't have the space for something like the original Helix. I've seen a guy with a covers band using a Helix with a couple of pedals. It was like the USS Nimitz was sitting on the floor. That's why the Boss MS3 is such a clever idea.
Pretty much any tuner from the last 25 years is good enough for every day use. When you get into the heat of the action, and you are hitting strings hard, and getting a bit over excited and pressing too hard and pulling them sharp, that last fraction of a cent won't matter.
The important thing is whether you can see it under bright lights. I've had one or two where that is a struggle.
It does struggle a little with a low B on bass though but it gets there in the end
