I've owned one for the past 9 years and I purchased it with the very 1st batch of production models. Everytime the product gets a firmware update, feels like Santa brings me tens of thousands of dollars of free gear! Best 1000 bucks I've ever spent in my life on musical gear.

I just pulled the trigger myself after fawning over it for many years. I haven't done much more than mess around with the presets, but wow, this thing sounds great!

Hey Dan! Definitely noticing way better production quality in the videos! Well done! Great presentation, rad playing, and well laid out. Take care!

Wow Dan, these videos just get slicker and slicker!

Great video - better thought out and presented than 99% of the other YT heroes.

Dan, thank You so much for your insight and advice. I picked up my Helix Lt a few days ago. It has the latest update and sounds phenomenal with my hand wired Vox ac15. I am sure that we aren’t late to the party. I’m also using it in an effects loop with my ToneX pedal.

I bought my helix in 2020. I came from the TC electronics g system. I use to love the G system but it was so heavy. the helix gave me a solution for internal distortion , effects in general and amp modelers. 2024, I still loving my pedalboard and each time know it better.

Another great video man!

Great vid as always Dan! I use a HELIX LT in 4 Cable Method to get the best out of both real amp (power amp & cab) and sim recording & it's ace! Grabbing a DI plus the HELIX outs as well as the mic/cab gives great flexibility as well as useful feedback. The accompanying HELIX EDIT makes fine tuning sounds on your computer fast and the NATIVE plugin compliments the recording process in your DAW - so a great studio all round ecosystem. We are truly spoiled 😋

Love the riffin'!! My Helix is set up with a couple of "pedal platforms" for me to directly plug in various pedals ready for recording.

I just picked up a Helix LT at a great price. Having sold my HX Stomp a few months ago I found that I missed its functionality and versatility, although the larger LT and flagship versions are fantastic and provide more options. I have been using Neural Plug ins to get most of our bands guitar sounds which are awesome. Even though with the new 3.71 update I decided to replace all the Neural plug in with Helix Native and honestly the Helix sounds just as good! Overall the Helix platform has proved itself over and over, endured many years of new comers to the market and imho remains a very strong contender for anyone after a extremely versatile great sounding and easy to use product its respective market sector. No brainer and a definite safe bet even in 2024.

Hi - thanks for this video it was super timely for me. I just crawled out from under a rock and was wondering which modeler to get and whether the Helix was (still) the way to go.

Great bass guitar skills!

Great choice.

You should be able to control some of the features on your Revv amp and a number of other products via MIDI with instant messages on the Helix.

Awesome video - with the routing - how is the gain staging? Instrument vs. Line vs. in between signal levels - good flexibility to adjust?

You have to look at the numerous (free) updates over the years and see how the Helix is still relevant. They proved to be good for their promise that they would keep it relevant. I didn't have to buy anything new + I can still use any of my old gear I want in the fx loops. I'm finally about to dive into making full use of the stereo circuit in the 345. What more can I ask?

My band loves our helix products

Cool music!
