Thanks mate, I'm feeling nice I guess 😀 Didn't notice it when I ordered my floor from them earlier although I think they have a deal on the LT? Yeah I loved the stomp but really thought it would just add to what I had but when I realised how good it actually is and I could get the x7 tone pretty much bang on which is basically my always on it got me thinking, it took up a lot of blocks on The stomp to do it but I still had a few more ideas so I might as well just give in and go for the big one.

Utterly blown away by this thing, i thought it would be good but its surpassed all expectations. The problem is i'm now wondering what i could do with the big one?!

Mine arrived yesterday, had a very busy day so only got to spend some time with it at around 11pm last night, its so much fun! I didn't get to bed until 3.45am. Ive never owned nor used a Helix before , a few guys ive worked with have but ive never touched one before, it s so intuitive, within half hour i felt like ive been using one for ages. Its replaced everything on my board except the X7 which i'm running in the loop (i actually spent a bit of time trying to recreate the X7 on the Helix and you can get damn close but the amount of blocks it took me means that wont be an option so as i thought that wont be going anywhere). The Cab and Amps are really impressive, and i'm just getting to know the edit software after doing the update. I like this a lot!

I thought it was great, the bus side was probably my favourite pedal comp ive used, particularly into a dirt pedal, i did like the Cali side but only really got on with that when not going into dirt, its got a cool vibe that didn't work for me in anything other than isolation and i didn't overly care for the SS side, it was only when i had instant access to other comps did i realise how much i didn't like the SS which is a worry considering i had one on my board for about a year before getting the HL. The filter and the extra options in the suit are really great too. Only sold it as i'm now compless, i'm running an X7 always on with a fairly hi drive and high comp setting on the clean side so i just don't need a separate comp (coincidentally the comp setting on the clean side of the X7 is the bus side of the HL with almost identical settings to those i was using, it sounds fantastic and is probably the best thing about the X7, the clean side is just awesome). If i ever needed another pedal comp i'd get one again.

Thanks mate! Yeah i know these usually have the VM but the shop listing and the invoice i got both had this one down as a TM, i thought that was likely wrong as when i checked that with the shop they didn't have a clue what i was asking so i mailed Holger over the serial to confirm what this one actually had. Your reverse headstock is lovely mate, bit jealous now ha! All the pictures on the listing for this one all had reverse a headstock and the description said this has one, turns out the shop sold that one but never updated the page so i got this one, never mind, still happy with it.

Yeah i like that too, spotted it when i was hunting for this 48 recently. Funny you should mention the pickups, there was also some confusion on the listing about the pickup configuration this one had, part of the description said it was a TM and part said it was a VM configuration (which is standard on these i believe) so i spoke to Holger this afternoon and he clarified my one has the standard split coil (VM) in the neck, what ever it is sounded great but good to actual know.

Thought i'd chuck this in here. Been thinking about one of these for a while now, finally found one i wanted. There's a little confusion still on going with the shop as they had it listed with a reverse headstock which ultimately was the clincher in me ordering this one but at some point they sold the one pictured/described and got another in without the reverse headstock and didnt update it, bit annoyed but i do love it! Anyway here it is.

Received another P loom from John yesterday, great kit/service as always, cheers!

Just got my X7. First impressions are its utterly brilliant, what a noise! Studio tonight and a couple of shows this week so i'l see how i feel at the end of the week but right now i'm massively impressed with it.
