The one the guitarist in my band bought is an absolute revelation.
It does have many more features than you actually need, but they're all actually useful and it sounds genuinely great, including with dirt pedals. It's a little louder than a 30W valve amp, I think - it seems to have more clean headroom, anyway - not totally sure about outright overdriven volume, but it sounds like that isn't what you need.
A total home run from Laney in my opinion... I almost bought one myself, but I don't play guitar with a band now.

It would give you a backup option in that you can use it as a complete amp too - not ideal if your sound is based around a modeller, but better than no sound...

I tried it out for the first time tonight at the rehearsal room and as a stand alone amp it’s a bit lame, but as soon as you put pedals in front of it, it breaths fire and held its own against my Dr Z Maz 18 and my Wienbrock Gringo(both awesome Amps).
It’s also relatively compact and a reasonable weight.

Guitar--> Helix --> Loop send to Loudpedal input --> Loudpedal FX send --> Helix loop return--> Helix output 1 (without Speaker sim)--> Loudpedal FX return--> Loudpedal Speaker out -->2x12.
Helix output 2 (with Speaker Sim/IR)--> Mixing desk/PA.
This way I will be able to switch the pre-amp section in and out like a stomp box, use the amp modeling in the Helix power a cab and run front of house.
My Marshall Origin does not pick up these noises.
The problem seems mainly when interfacing with my Helix, Tried the Helix with the Marshall, no noise issues.
With the Iron heart no noise when plugged straight in, but helix out into the Return on the Laney gives me the issue (until something was switched off,)
Tried different power sockets as well.
You can check it by connecting any part of the signal path (any spare audio jack on the Loudpedal or the Helix) to an earthed unit - eg the Marshall Origin - which is plugged into the wall but switched off.

Alternatively, I use a Blackstar HT-1 at home - not with a modeller at the moment, but it's set clean and I get all my dirt from a Bogner Ecstasy Red boosted by a Thorpy Heavy Water. Sounds absolutely stellar at sensible home volumes.

I don't have any Line 6 gear these days, and I use isolated CIOKS to power everything. Quiet as a mouse. No digital noise.
