Rack sizing is standardised which is helpful for casing and integration with other rack gear. IIRC both Kemper and Helix racks are 3U, which I think is still completely fine. Racks are commonplace in Studios and in touring rigs.
Any floorboard unit is also going to be subject to practical limits for sizing. For example if it needs 10 foot switches, it's going to be at least big enough to space those out plus a screen.
For Helix rack you wouldn't want it any smaller or you'd be squishing down the UI screen, which is its biggest selling point. Also the huge amount of I/O on the back of the unit, there's not really any space to shrink it.
I can get 99% of the tone and feel of the real pedals, and the added simplicity easily makes up more than that last 1%.
Lot's of people selling FX8s for cheap money at the moment, they are the bargain of the century for £800...
the best thing I can say is I dont realise I don't have an amp onstage. I forget about all that and just play the guitar
I'd love source audio to do a multi as well, that would be great!
and some singer songwriter Gretsch twangy background
and a Chilli peppers tribute
and occasionally play mandolin, blues harp and guitar in a wedding band
usual bollocks after I binned my originals band
I'd snap one up too. Though its been suggested a fair bit and the L6 guys on forums seem to deny it happening. I imagine for the pricing they're aiming people at the LT for a while now.
