Helix Talk

[Sascha Franck]

I considered grabbing this due to the price before assuming it’s just a scam, being that the seller just created their FB account this year.

Even if the OG Helixes are possibly about to kinda fade away, in case this is a properly working unit, the price is way too low.

I keep seeing used Floor's around 900-1000€ in fair condition over here, while LT's are usually somewhere between 700-800€.

I've had my Floor on Facebook Marketplace at $900 for about a month and all I've gotten are several questions about trades.

Maybe it's different here in central Europe.

I got $650 for a well-worn LT and $800 for an equally abused but fully functional floor last year. Prices will probably keep sliding down as the Stadium gets more adoption.

Over here, legit Stomps are still going for around 400.

I sold mine for £380 a few months ago. I paid £400 for it brand new in 2019.

Yeah I just bought one from a guitar shop second hand for £390. Trying to sell my LT with official back pack but not getting much interest even at £495.

Maybe the Stomps are still considered a great choice for a very compact, yet capable (and very flexible) unit whereas people rather look elsewhere for larger devices.

I think Stomps will still have pretty strong resale value until a "stadium" stomp update comes out. At the minute there's still a strong demand for them, it's one of the reasons I sold mine while it was still worth a decent amount.

I hadn't used it in months and have helix native if I need helix sounds or fancy checking out any further updates which might happen to the OG units.

Also, they make up for a pretty decent "plain" MFX unit. Just the way I used mine for quite a while. Slapped some analog pedals and an Amplifirebox as a pedal platform in front (all controlled via some loopswitcher) and basically used it as a delay/verb (plus the odd other effect) unit. Was absolutely great. And fwiw, to this day, there's *very* little delay/verb units coming at that form factor. Most other contenders have a fixed signal flow or are way less flexible otherwise.

Agreed, they work great for that. If I was staying in the digital amps/pedals with a few analogue add ons I'd have kept mine. I wanted to use mine as a delay/reverb pedal with my amp but didn't like what it did to my core tone going into the front.
