But cheers for the heads up !
It's slightly better in 4cm but probably more importantly there are no amp options so it focuses you on the FX only side
Also it has 2 amp relays to the Helixs one
Downside
It is a handful to program without a laptop (do-able but not fun) the routing isn't as flexible. It doesn't have the option of direct outs into the PA if you are in a situ where you have to go without an amp or you are on a loan unit
The Helix is a much more flexible unit in my opinion
If I have to grab and go it's what I would choose. But the FX8 ... Well let's just say it's not for sale .... Yet
Helix is slightly taller
Unless you never use expression pedals there functionally isn't that much of a difference
The Helix bag looks good though

The gain boost makes a really excellent clean boost.

But, the Helix def affects those glorious amps of mine. And that at the moment, until imfind a way around it, is a deal breaker for me.
It's very close on how I do things anyway
