My gear:

-Suhr Classic Antique HSS
-Suhr Classic T
-Les Paul Studio Deluxe

-Line 6 Helix LT
-Fender Blues Jr.

I use my Helix for pretty much everything now, but I still have quite a few pedals.  If I'm playing through my amp I usually just use a super simple pedalboard. (Crybaby, Fulltone OCD, MXR Carbon Copy)

I'd love to check out some Suhr stuff.

Always sounds fantastic to me and I've heard by many they play like butter.

Like you, I used to play LP heavy ass guitars for years and decided to switch predominantly to Strats.

Strats are the swiss army knife of guitars and if you're playing different genres they can pretty much do it all.

I used the HSS configuration 5 way switched with coil splitting which enabled me to get all kinds of clean and funky tones too.

Les Pauls definitely get the job done for heavy stuff/blues and have great singing tones.  Love me some Gary Moore and Dave Meniketti growing up.

It just didn't seem to do it enough for clean tone versatility for me.

Of course you can tweak and change anything to get what you need, but Strats just make it so much easier in my opinion right out of the box.

I have a Headrush pedal board system that I had planned on trying at some live shows, but I ended up retiring from playing out for a while recently.

Now I'll just try using it for home recording.  Like the Helix you can plug it right into your PC without an interface.
