Hello guys! It's been a while.
Last week I sold my Helix Floor.
It did what I required it to do, however I 've fallen out with both the sounds and its size.
Currently I make do (for cover band needs) with a Mooer Prime P2 and a Bose s1 pro plus. It is a capable combination and VFM. For MIDI needs I use a luminiteFX Graviton with XY-controller or footswitch.
Right now I am considering two paths, while trying to be versatile and compact.
1. Pedalboard amp and fx unit.
I have considered the BluGuitar Amp1 and the Victory V4 amps, however their MIDI functionality is limited to non-existent.
The Blackstar Amped1 seems decked out in terms of features, however I've seen conflicting reviews. It also can be used as a flat/linear amp for a modeler down the line.
FX might get something like the H90 or the Plethora.
2. High end modeler again (may be a power amp down the line?).
Go for a FM3, FM9 (do I need the second one? will I miss the horsepower? since the switches are covered with MIDI)
Go for a QC? Just for the interface? It will be very similar to the Helix situation, good GUI mediocre tones, required tricks and time to coax out the tones.
What are your experiences with similar rigs, how did you reach your decisions?
Toodeloo!
