Just got my Mark V back yesterday from being fixed and wired the Helix LT with the 4 cable method. It's awesome, most if not all of my other pedals will be going up for sale.
As I said I only got my Helix LT last week, so I had about 1 day of experience with the old cabs, but I am getting insane tones with the new cabs. I am loving the Invective model as well!
Sorry for the late reply, haven't been around here much these past few months. I play this guitar the most out of all my other guitars still to this day, so it must mean something lol.
Seriously, lots of bands out there putting quality stuff out with very limited resources. Jari make it sounds like he needs NASA equipment to produce his music.
I would be perfectly happy with an import version of that Ironbird without the fancy flamed maple neck. All black, single pickup, mean looking, it checks most boxes for me.
Is there no new E-II models this year? Also, the SN-1000HT is really growing on me. I didn't realize it had scalloped upper frets. It also has Stainless steel frets, which I don't think are found on any other LTD's?
Seriously, the new X series with the maple board is alright but WHY did they go with the flat top on it. It ruins it for me (I can live with the non-matching headstock although it would have been much better if it was matching).
The new David Davidson WR7 with bevels is one step closer to a regular pro series 6 string warrior. I can't believe one still doesn't exist after all these years.
