I'm using a M1 Macbook with a midi foot controller and it's been a dream. I can have whatever I want with no DSP limits. If they release a way more powerful helix, I'd totally go for it.

Here’s something ground breaking that I think line 6 will be the first to do. A built in power amp in the unit. I know kemper has it in its head but not in a floor unit. We’ll probably not see a new unit till 2025 also.

The Line 6 Table Top was similar to what you're describing. It was basically the Amplify brain in a no-screen little box. Add the foot switch controller and I was in great shape!! The amp kinda sucked and the Bluetooth connection was terrible, but we are what 10 years on now. Those things have all improved immensely.

Yeah the first time I watched the sound man grab his iPad and walked around the venue during sound checks was mind-blowing. I can see your proposal easily. Just loop a riff and step away and listen. Not every gig has a sound man and this would empower a lot of musicians. It's a really good idea. But a Helix Mark II would require a hardware change.

The helix is also sold in a rack format, has a windows/apple HX Edit interface that let you modify the Helix set up thru your pc/laptop/pad (but not wirelessly, you have to plug an usb cable), and has capacitive knobs and an expression pedal that let you change ALL parameters without having to knee down and change it with your fingers (but yes, to achieve this, you have to read the MANUAL...wich is an extraordinay obstacle for brain diminished tictoc/fortnight nowadays kids...and for all uneducated americans for whom reading a book is as painfull as choping their balls off ). I may add when it is a pain to knee down to use a Boss like pedal, it is maybe more honest to complain about getting old rather than to complain about the design of a Boss pedal. ;-) Same for the Helix or whatever brand pedal board. About having a pedalboard without screen using ipad or big screen smart phone, it is neither a bargain nor a good idea. An ipad or an iphone cost about 1000€. Rich old G.A.S. guys are a super little niche within the guitarists population. The majority is poor...moneyless teenager, poor students, not super well paid employees... They don't have a ipad. And when they have a smartphone, it is often an old model or the cheap low power model. Else, I point out that it is a good practice, for guitarists or any musician, to set up their sound(s) while being solo at home, and only focus on playing when playing with theid band (reahearsal or public prestation). Or, seen from the negative side, there is nothing more painfull than a guitarist spending more time turning the knobs of his pedalboard pedal than actually playing. Ooooh yes we ALL have played with this kind of non-musician. That's another raison why CLEARLY having guitarists spending their time playing with their ipad instead of playing guitar is not a good idea for me. Take care!

The screen idea. That some nice out of the box thinking there. If it would lower the price of the unit, I would even buy a dedicated ipad or other tabled for it. The other advantage it can have, is to download other peoples presets, ir's, or captures (if that would be a feature) through the app so you can easily deploy it on your unit.

About 7:20: The Helix Floor 2 needs a touchscreen, moreso since the graphics are already set up for touch. The new Helix Rack, however, doesn't need a screen, as long as the unit is tall enough to have the I/O then yeah I agree.

Unfortunately Line 6 has stopped caring about innovation. Parent company Yamaha is only concerned with milking whatever they can out of what’s left of the Helix. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the Helix Floor, but it is becoming more apparent that Helix is falling behind on modeling engine realism (which can be overcome with lots of tweaking), processing power, and user interface. Overall, it’s still a top tier piece of equipment, but Fender, Neural, Kemper, IK, Headrush, Fractal, etc. are taking away A LOT of market share. Instead of introducing yet another cheap HX derivative (Catayst, PodGO, DL4MK2, HX one), it would be nice to see a new flagship. But I’m not going to hold my breath. Line 6 managers just hang out in their echo chamber on TGP.

The screen needs to stay. HOWEVER, your idea has merit, and it can be easily fixed presently, if only the lazy pukes at Line 6 would get off their lazy arses and introduce HX Edit to the iPad and Android tablets.

Your radical idea is already on the GT-1000. And when I bought it I thought I would never bend down to tweek ever again. But I soon learned that bending down and fixing something took shorter time than unlocking you IPad that you forgot to charge and anyways - suddenly you are on Facebook and online newspapers instead of the editor. BUT - the ability to tweek the tone via phone/iPad using a loop and moving around in the room is absolute gold if you don’t have a sound guy at the gig. But again - Boss does this already. I actually sold my Helix Floor and got a GT1000. And expect from the missing mic input I am very happy with the switch. I had multiple issues with my Helix and I see other people having hardware issues with their units. In the world of Boss pedals the hardware lasts a lifetime. So my wish for Helix 2: MAKE SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T BREAK! 🫣

@@leonbrownmusic The GT-1000 and the GX-100 are both great units. Now - I'm not saying they are better than Helix in every way, but they have some advantages. And then every one has to make up their own minds as if these things are important to them. Advantages: The bluetooth thing, seamless switching, spillover (if the same delay type is used in both patches), never going to break, smaller and lighter, a screen you can see in broad daylight. Disadvantages: Old fashion interface (that was totally fine in 2012 but now seems to be a deal breaker for folks), no mic in, very few updates, in the GT-1000 there are 24 blocks with fixed purpose and only one reverb at the time, a lot fewer amps and effect variations of the same effect. The last disadvantage is actually a huge pluss in my book. I much prefer fewer number of very good choices as apposed to scrolling thru 5 million amps and bizarrely named effects just to end up using a bunch of time chasing a tone that will never ever be as important as your skills on the guitar. So the Boss stuff is a great tool for playing music on the guitar. Not so great for an influencer/gear reviewer to find things to talk about.
