I underestimated the importance of convenience

I predict the next iteration won’t have a built-in expression pedal. So we might not be far off. Fingers crossed.

No expression pedal but same or just a tiny bit smaller footswitch spacing, please.

Well would you look at that!

I know, right?

I don't even remember the last time I saw a new product announcement that nailed everything I expected + added so many cool features I didn't even imagine + didn't deceive in anything (I won't count the price, because it just makes sense).

I want a next gen Line 6 next product in QC like form factor, ability to play NAM files in native resolution and Bluetooth streaming built in.

I love the size of the QC, NAM is handy, and the BT streaming and editing on the Tone master pro and Kemper player are great practice and jamming tools. I wouldn’t even bother reading about new products for a long time if that were to ever materialize

Guess I got my wish

For me, two big conveniences are headphone out and USB recording output - both of which need to be active at the same time. I have an audio interface, so USB recording isn't a requirement, but it sure is pleasant, especially if it provides extra tracks.

I come down on the "no built in expression pedal" side, but I do like lots of knobs and switches on the unit. So the FM9 and Tone Master Pro work for me as full size modelers go. Line6 hasn't hit that sweet spot for me yet.

The Helix Stadium turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, and the slow pace at which Fender fills out the TMP is annoying me. I'll be pre-ordering the Stadium.
