I think - if like you say development may already be underway for a replacement - speculation about that would certainly warrant its own thread!!
The current stuff is, as far as I'm concerned, way better that previous generations of modelling, would be interesting to see where it goes next!
It's an incredible piece of gear imo - I'm not sure what a replacement unit would have to do to supersede it.
As for the next patch upgrade, I'd definitely like to see more boosts. I know they aren't the most characterful pedals but there's clear differences between, say, an LPB1, a Super Hard On, and a Catalinbread Picoso, and I'd love to see more options on the Helix for sure.
Also - anything to further optimise the DSP!
If said amp had an FX loop you you stick the output of the Stomp into the FX loop return and run any preamp model you like (so it wouldn't emulate the power section nor speaker cab) from the Helix directly into your amplifier's power section.
You could then pretend the HX was a channel switching amp and toggle between two preamps, put any gain FX blocks before the preamp models and delays/modulation/reverbs after them (As if they were in the FX Loop)
Hopefully that makes sense!
