The main problem is that it's so damn expensive in Europe, around 500€ more than the Helix. Probably due to a single store having the rights to sell it.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I'm also really interested in getting a Variax guitar and the integration with the Helix is another plus.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">The Helix Native plugin was released yesterday, it's sonically equivalent to the hardware boxes and also patch compatible. There's a 15-day trial available so check it out.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">The Kemper seems to be the one you should get if you really want authenticity in the amp recreations but it's lacking in some other areas; pedals, fx and flexibility, ease of use, where the Helix outshines it.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Still haven't decided, I think the rack would be better for me but together with the foot control it's more expensive than the floor unit. Just have to figure out if it's worth it.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">/Micke</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>Sent from Mikaels cellular device</div><div><br>16 aug. 2017 kl. 23:25 skrev Rom MUSIC BAR <<a href="mailto:xtechcode@gmail.com">xtechcode@gmail.com</a>>:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"><div>Hi Mikael ...</div>I did not check the specs of the Line 6 yet .. <div>Basically in my opinion, if you need to move the gear often I will go for the floor.</div><div>However, the rack may look very sexy in your nordic studio :-P … ( but I don t think it will be easily portable) </div><div>Have you had a look to FractalAudio devices ?
