...it looks pretty cool?
Definitely like it better than the Purple limited edition myself.

Sure, but it's just a very particular color combination. If you want to use gold text etc then I think there's a lot of other colors that pair better with it.

IMO the shades of color Line6 has picked for their limited edition models have never been particularly great. Too bright, or the wrong shade.

Agree. I have a purple Stomp because I got a cheaper B-stock with full warranty, not for the fantastic color…

Re: Colors
I think anything like black or white isn't looking good as soon as the units are switched on, simply because other colors aren't exactly in harmony with the LED rings and screen colors. White and blue LEDs are fine with the red version, but the other colors make it look kinda cheapish.

I saw the latest Helix video by @GuitarJon where he sets up a basic metal preset, got inspired and created a new preset from scratch on my HX Stomp to play around with my new Light Pedal. Added the Oblivion, an IR block, FX loop block for the physical pedal, a stereo dual delay and then a stereo ambience reverb with high mix. For extra noodling I also put in a Clarity amp and A/B switching between them. Fiddled a bit with Clarity but stock settings on Oblivion. Insanely fast and insanely good sounding! Spent 5-10 minutes on the preset and then an hour just playing and getting to know my new pedal (which is so much fun).

So a reminder: don’t overlook the Line6 original amps!
