The Helix updates have been consistent, good quality, and meaningful. Line 6 really do have a good team and the fact that they have built up trust will be difficult to compete against - even at this price point.
Having said that, Helix Native - assuming it's not a coding f-up has pretty much made a lot of this irrelevant anyway.
I am also going to predict every manufacturer and their dog are going to go this way to be able to provide a cheap solution like line 6 stuff.
Now if you gave me something clever here like a base OS that allowed me to load in any pro tools plugin I wanted that may he cool. Could choose amp modelling, effects and Cab modelling plugin you wanted from any company (that would be very clever if was powerful enough to keep latency down). Add some quality ADC, DAC and maybe some analogue goodies in a plugin that comes with base OS... That could actually be a compelling system.
I totally get who their target audience is but it really isn't for me.
I have been very much enjoying the flexibility of the Pod HD500X. I have the expression pedal set up to control the distortion level on the amp, which is an awesome thing It means a single patch covers a huge amount of ground and is super tweakable on the fly...but it would be nice to have something with more awesome sounding amp models. I'm hoping the Headrush might be that coz I'd rather not have to fork out for a Fractal or a Helix.
A sorta-kinda-maybe halfway house just seems like a copout. It says "We thought we'd have it ready, but couldn't quite manage it", which doesn't bode well.
I'll stick with Elite Dangerous, er, I mean my Helix..
