Got the HX Stomp with a free Helix Native (software plug-in version) four years ago but was never really happy with the sounds even with York audio IR replacing the terrible stock cabs. After ordering the Fractal FM9 on the first day it was released in late 2021, the Helix system has only had a few hours per year and the Stomp has mostly been sitting in a box in the garage. Yesterday Line6 announced the first update in a year and some of the new models, especially the Bogners (someone at Line6 marketing must be color blind), aren't bad.
I'm not even thinking of switching from Fractal, LOVE the real world Archon and haven't tried some of the lower priced alternatives like Tonex, but for what used Stomps are going for on reverb, if I were just starting out in modeling it would be an option that I'd consider. One of the good things of the system is that Helix Native has a two week free trial to test out in a DAW.
