Just Jumped onto QC from Helix LT and.... wow.

Been using a Helix LT for many years... gigged it hard, and it held up ok, but the preset knob is buggered, the volume knob is broken, and it was... tired. I seriously considered the new Stadium, but I've been using Neural's plugins for a while and was impressed so I pulled the trigger on the QC today and... wow. Just dialling in some fairly complex 3 input (Guit/Mando/Harmonica) for a zep thing I've got coming up, and it just eats it up. I will mostly use it for bass though, been a bit of a learning curve but it's really straightforward and has some decent advanced features. Looking forward to festival season with this!

Considering adding Wellbutrin.

Been in 50mg Pristiq since 2020. Managed my anxiety very well. Depression? Eh. Gained a shitload of weight over Covid as well so I imagine that’s not helping. But the sexual dysfunction. It takes an almost Herculean effort to climax. I don’t dig this. Will adding Wellbutrin help this? I’m due for a checkup soon and will talk to my doc about this but wanted to see what any other men thought.

My Helix LT got banged around just now, and when I powered it up, I got :-7 on the top of the screen and it was reporting "Updating UI MCU Firmware, please wait. Do not power off the unit!"

I opened it up (if you choose to do so, do so at your own risk and unplug first! There is live AC mains in there!) after unplugging, and noticed that the display controller is connected to the main controller as a daughter card sandwiched with a header connector (no cable) - this board had become dislodged and was not fully connected. Pushed it back onto the main board, reassembled and it is working fine.

Just wanted to post this for future reference for those who may see this issue.
