I have two questions:
- how do they compare to the Quilter and DV Mark offerings?
- who thought that stupid rigid handle on the top was a good idea? It effectively doubles the size of the thing and renders it incompatible with a gigbag pocket or suchlike.

I also thought it was marginally worse with the Tube Screamer, for the same reason - it has just a little too much bass and too little top-end. But it's very good, especially on its own - I think I might almost prefer the straight sound to the AC15.

I've been really happy with it.

Guitarist magazine impressed by new gear? That can't be right, they're normally so critical of anything new on the market.
By contrast the review of the Helix LT in the same issue is shocking. Nothing there you couldn't lean from reading Line 6 blurb, it just listed the things that were different to the standard Helix. They made no opinions on the sounds at all, other than "usual great Helix sounds" - which ones, all of them? Surely some amp models hit the spot better than others in the reviewers opinion.
A product was rated by how much said manufacturer had pumped into their advertising budget that month. Nothing impartial in that mag for years
The complaint was that they claim to be 50w, but that's only into a 4Ω cab which most guitarists don't have and even the matching cab is 8Ω. The chap in question only had a 16Ω cab and so only got 12.5w which didn't have enough headroom for live use.
