Moving to Helix, am I an idiot? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

Ok, I've cracked. I have a nice pedal board and I can get some nice sounds from it. But I'm selling almost all of it and moving to Helix. Keeping a rams head muff and blues driver. But the expandability, versatility, simplicity of setup and no need to worry about patch cables, power supplies etc..

Am I going to regret it?

If you're feeling it, go for it. I do these things from time to time. I went from a tube amp to a nice solid state, thought I'd regret it but haven't at all. I once sold all my hardware synths and bought Ableton and some nice VST synths, and did not regret it. A few years later I started collecting hardware synths again (there are some great affordable ones now that didn't exist before). I once sold all my delay, reverb, chorus, and dirt pedals (including a rams muff!) and got a couple of big Boss pedals that model all that stuff. Thought I might regret it, but I love it, and I can always go back. It's fun changing things up and getting a creativity boost. Enjoy! (btw I've never had a Helix, but hear great things.)
