Amazing!!!
I just bought yesterday. It was easy to use. In first time a little confused, but when I start using I been familiar to use. I arranged over an empty preset for me some kind Hendrix tone with Arbiter Fuzz, Octafuzz, U-Vibe and Plexi Amp. It was very close to original tone. Then I arranged some clean tone with one overdrive, MXR phase 90, U-Vibe, Fender Vibratone and Fender Deluxe amp, the result was amazing. I tried reach to '69 Beatles tone but I discovered fantastic sound. Then I tried reach to some kind Clapton sound, I was shocked, because it was magnificent Clapton Blues sound (not Beano). I had only my Player Strat because other my guitars at home. I loved my guitar. If you have chance for trying absolutely do not regret that. I had a Katana MK-II 100 watt but I didn't like its tones. It was look like some kind digital therefore I was sold-out that. My plan was buy Boss processor but I had concern because of my experience Katana. I found Stomp XL and I so much loved it. So real tones. I will try using with my Fender VibroChamp when I find free time. I will write my experience after that.

I used it with my Fender 68' Custom Vibro Champ (Made in Mexico). The amp has perfect clean tones at volume level 4-5. I liked it. But with Marshall Blues Breaker Overdrive sound was not bad but not good. I used with Stomp XL. Fuzz Face, Maestro Fuzz, TS9, Dod-250, SD-1 overdrives which come an original on Stomp XL very good at same Volume Level. I get very good tones. Then I tried with some modulation pedal. Phase 90, Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe, Vibratone Rotary, 145 Rotary, 122 Rotary very compatible with my Amp in same Volume Level. I put Maestro before them I catch almost get Let It Be solo tone. Unfortunately I try with my Strat but I will try again with my Mexico Telecaster. I am wonder with my Casino. I paid 700 Euro in Italy for Stomp XL, my idea is that device deserve every Cents. Highly recommend to everyone don't think buy it. You never regret with that.

Immense!
This pedal is incredible! Running a bi/amp bass rig creates exactly the monster tones I’ve been searching for all year!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Split the signal at 144Hz. The lows are unprocessed, on path A skipping everything until the merge. Path B goes through a Clawthorn Drive into an Orange AD200 bass amp, 8x10 cab. Merge, mix, and go through a compressor .
Great tones in a compact format
Love the helix tones and interface. The Helix Stomp XL has enough DSP to handle anything I’m using it for. Couldn’t be happier.
I’m glad that Line 6 keeps giving huge updates to this product year after year. It’s something they should be proud of.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I’m a big fan of the ANGL (ENGL Fireball 100) preset.
Very simple to use and has better sounding output than anything i've used before and it's not too expensive. Also compact.
The factory settings are trash but once you figure out the setup and whatnot,which is way easier if you download the app at line 6 and use a laptop to program it all then it's ready to go and so easy to adjust on the fly.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
The best thing is the Amps it has and vintage pedals,perfect for plugging into a PA or powered speaker but it also has a pre amp setup and goes good with a tube amp which is what I mainly use every day! Very easy color switching so you don't need to look much while playing.
