Helix (full): $1300AxeFx III: $2500 without a foot controller
FM9: $1800
QC: $1800
Helix Stadium XL: $2200
Helix Stadium: $1800
Out of anything folks could bitch about, cost makes the least sense when comparing against the competition.
Helix LT: $900
It isn't fair IMO not to include these in the comparison. Line 6 has made a business out of offering good value compared to all competition. With Stadium, they are around price parity with the highest priced options.
As I said earlier, if my 2013 Kemper has better reverb and delay than a new $2200.00 unit, it's fair to ask if it is worth the upgrade (now). IMO.
Now that gave me a good laughYou will have to ask dbfretz. I only shit on Kemper these days and no one gets paid to chase away potential Kemper customers except their own forum mods.
