I'm sick of tap-dancing, so I decided to take a chance with replacing all my pedals--including my midi footswitch--with the Helix, set up for 4CM.
I don't hear any sound degradation, despite the digital conversion before and after the preamp. I tried A/Bing with my analog pedals and direct in, and I can't hear or feel a difference. For instance, the "minotaur" model really does sound like my Klon clone. So while in the past I saw Line 6 stuff as a toy or as a tool of convenience, it seems these are good enough now to replace all my pedals.
You can set up individual presets with up to eight "snapshots". Think of a preset as being a bunch of pedals on the floor. Each snapshot = a different set of settings for those pedals, including which pedals are on or off, and even which settings are on and off on the JP-2C. For instance, I created a Dream Theater preset which has noise gates, compression, delay, and reverb. Snapshot 1 turns on channel 1 and the FX loop, plus the compression, delay, and reverb. Snapshot 2 turns on channel 2 and EQ 1, and only uses the noise gate. Snapshot 3 turns on channel 3 and EQ1, turns on a different noise gate setting, and uses different delay and reverb settings. And there's no lag between snapshots, at least that I can notice.
