I am, in fact, digging the h*ll out of it. It's a very impressive device. For many years, I used a factory modified Pearce BC-1 preamp to get something similar to the Billy Sheehan sound. After it was in a basement flood many years ago, I stopped using it, and it's suffered from serious corrosion since then. Last year, I was discussing on Facebook with Billy about trying to resuscitate my BC-1, as I really missed that sound. He suggested getting the Helix, as it now had his Pearce models in it. I wasn't sure about investing that kind of cash in what is essentially a computer, and trusting that it wouldn't crash at inopportune times. As several of my friends have recently been using them virtually trouble free, I decided to take the plunge. Man, am I glad I did. The tones from this thing are incredible. I've been tweaking on it pretty much every night after work since I got it last Tuesday.

I'm falling in love with playing my bass guitar again.
