Just return it, it should be eligible out to 31 January. That's what I did.
The only reason I said I wouldn't gig with this is because it has a plastic bottom, my pedal board version of this is solid steel and is designed for gigging. If you are gentle, no problem at all. I am the most clumsy further mucker I know so I would not trust myself. I dabble in bass and it has some settings. That sound really good, I have a chorus driven one that sounds very much like Tool. Since Amazon has an incredible return policy, there's literally no risk to you. Just buy it.
Love Amazon!

I have a Boss MS-50G right now and just ordered a Ditto Looper. I've always wanted to get something with a pedal though. $300 just feels steep and hard to justify when I don't really play much. The G1XN Four is more my budget but I'm sure it's peanuts compared to this unit lol.
EDIT: I just read this has a looper...
I have a Boss Katana Head btw. Wonder how this will work in conjunction. I just noticed the shipping estimate is 1-2 months out :T
Line6 has a lot more variety of effects and amps, including polyphonic whammy, and a ton more effect models, and many sound good with bass. You can also connect 1-2 external switches depending on if you connect an expression, for example have an external switch for tap tempo and tuner functions so you still have 3 of the LED switches for scene changes. You can also get Helix Native plugin for $100 and a bigger user base of free patches available. I'm overall happy with the tones, but it is fairly easy to max out the DSP (and that applies to all the Helix based products).
MX5 trumps the Stomp with a built-in expression, touch screen (though I don't find the Helix UI too challenging), and 3 more effect blocks (11 vs 8). I'm thinking overall it'd be a superior product for bread-and-butter tones, though I've seen some comments it's not as good for high gain tones (not what I'd use it for).
If I were buying brand new it's hard to pass by on the MX5 as it packs a lot of blocks, expression, etc. into the most affordable modeler pedal. Even more so at this price.

To me, it's still a tremendous value at 399. Using the touch screen to modify settings on the individual stomp boxes is so easy and satisfying. Wish they would have had this year and a half ago when I bought my headbrush pedal board. Clearly that is better but shelling out a grand sucked. Having the ability to switch multiple stomp boxes on or off via dedicated foot switches is a luxury that I can't now give up. But prior to having the pedalboard I would have jumped all over and been very happy with this. No I'm not getting paid for this lol
I know there are a bunch of line 6 fans like me on here so I'll say (agree with all) what somebody said above that there are definitely more in depth options with Line 6 (IMO) but the Firehawk is the equivalent price range and option set offering from Line 6 (or was last I checked). I owned one and I'll tell you right now there is absolutely no comparison between the two ( but Firehawk was already available for a long time before this one). I do love the Bluetooth receiver on the Firehawk though, I think every board should have that!
