At first I thought it was just a repackaging into a lower cost alternative. But that's not what it is at all. It's designed to appeal to a different kind of guitarist, one who wants to add amp modeling to their pedal board instead of replacing their pedal board. In that respect, it's a radically different design.
For every guitarist who is comfortable replacing their rig with an AX8 or Helix Floor or Headrush, there are 10 who are interested in amp modeling, but want to keep the prized pedals they have on their pedal board. This is for those 10. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

İts not a better buy but I'd also say different. Its has 6 block limitation, I'm not sure yet but a loaded ir cab will take one of those blocks. So dual stereo amp (4)+a boost(1)+a delay (1) and the limits full. Can be saved space if included cab is used on the amp (but not sure if those are ir). The gate is default on the input stage though so thats cool. The typical Helix user usually prefers a more complex chain and for a good reason, the fx are pretty good. So you can't get everything with this unit but still imho a lot. That's true but I think that Rammikin thoughts about guys who want to add amp sim to their pedalboard but keeping most of their pedals is very valid. In that case, it doesn't matter if you can build a big chain, don't you think so? I can see how different brands are competing hard with these and all I can say that these are exciting times for guitar freaks. -------------------- My lessons

... Sure my comment was actually supporting him. Also, it seems to be a nice soundcard too since when recording projects most add reverb, delay etc. from computer not processor. |

I don't think people realize how big the original Headrush is. The Headrush Gigboard might just be a response to people who complained the original is too big.
At the same time, I don't think people realize how small the HX Stomp is. It's the only top quality modeler that has an effects loop that is small enough that you can put it on your pedal board without throwing out half of your pedals. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I'll keep my Helix LT thank you Yeah, I think it's safe to say this will not appeal to someone who likes the larger Helices. But the reverse is also true. Kudos to Line6 for finding an unmet need and filling it. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

The Mini helix costs more and does less Please accept my apologies for correcting you, but the Gigboard is more expensive than the HX Stomp, not the other way around. $649 vs $599. But that misses the point. These two fine products are not competitors. The Gigboard is a pedal board replacement. It's too big to fit into an existing board which already has a bunch of pedals. It has the power to replace those pedals, so the large size doesn't matter. The HX Stomp is not a pedal board replacement. It's designed to be small enough (and have the requisite I/O) to fit into a pedal board as a peer of the pedals that a guitarist already owns and wants to keep. If you're searching for someone to argue with about the Gigboard vs. the HX Stomp, you'll have to look elsewhere . -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:
