I'm really attracted to the unit because it looks like a blast to use. The video above makes it sound really good and at least one pro is using it in anger!
No users amongst the forum? I guess Helix has got a huge amount of momentum and so there's not much appetite to move away from that to something less proven.
1 - It uses the same modelling algorithms as the Eleven Rack. They were good for the time, but now...meh.
2 - They don't seem to have anywhere near the update frequency or size compared with the Helix and Fractal units, which is worryingly similar to how the Eleven died.
I'm also not a fan of the UI, but that's more of a personal thing.
It seems to me that a lot of the bad press it gets comes mostly from a few people that prefer something else and choose to talk it down for whatever reason.

I think I would go for the gigboard - the full unit is just so massive. And I prefer my xp pedals on the other side anyway.
I have been thinking about an HX stomp...but I did fail to get on with the LT so I guess there's no reason why the stomp would be better, realistically.
And the Amplifire has the same usability issues as the GSP1101.
So headrush is closest to what I want, at least on paper...
Both work in a live setting for me straight into the pa or frfr.
