I thought that's what the Katana stuff was
That would probably cover a line 6 lt second hand. If not, damn close. I would have to test the fuzzes to see if my zoom ultra fuzz and boss Ds2 could be replaced by it.
Holy shit this is a real possibility. All of that into a fifty quid peavey, Laney or old Marshall ss amp and I've got everything I need. In a smaller package, less wires, easier to keep tidy, records direct to pc...

Cheap make-louder box.
I've ran computer models (le pou sims) through a peavey bandit and it's made fabulous bedroom tones. Means a proper 1x12 cab and a decent power amp and speaker with a digital front end. The cab also has its own tone shaping controls - just dial in to taste.
Not a technical reason and perhaps not as accurate as monitors but if you compare different monitors you'll realise they're just "more transparent" rather than "transparent" - they all sound different!
I don't care about accuracy. A low cost, easy to use amp and pedalboard set up that gives me jazz to death metal in a tidy package is the bedroom guitarists dream.
If I gigged, a bandit or similar is plenty loud enough and would easily do the job. Pubs are not carefully built for optimal sound quality, so you can only ever do your best no matter the gear.

Just wondered if the GT-001 was their answer ... ?

That'd probably replace the Ds2 at least then. It has a fuzz factory in it so that'd probably do most weirdness...
Compelling arguments for selling everything tbh.
It depends, as it often does, on whether you need the exact sounds of that specific pedal, or if you can live with something with the same sort of character.
Similar character is fine - I have a couple of juansolo specials (and a Sporky!) that I couldn't let go, but I'm not so fussy as to think going 95 percent there isn't enough. It's broadly more about fuzzes for certain amp types - muffs into powerful amps (my favourite), ultra fuzz/middier fuzz into vox style amps. Ds2 is a safety fuzz really - works into everything for a ripping lead fuzz tone.

I think price-wise folk have been happily buying the relevantly-sized t-bone (Thomann) hard cases for their Helix, so that's a decent indicator of what would sell easily. Yours may have other benefits/be more desirable though of course
Personally I think the Helix sounds noticeably better in that clip. Especially the higher gain amps.
