Hi all, I'm sure this ground has been covered before. But it hadn't occurred to me until recently, about buying decent live working modeller, plugged straight into PA my thoughts are for a Fractual audio AX8, but my question regarding these is? Do I need Fractal Audio Systems MFC-101 Mark III midi foot controller to work the AX8 in a live situation,or would it just work the same as a stand alone floor modeller/footswitch like the Line 6 Helix. And the other obvious question is the AX8 the best modeller for authenticity with sounds, What I am really after is, plug in and go no fuss rig, Which certain gigs we've done recently, have the requirement for.

I think @Imalrightjack has owned both units. Maybe he could chime in.
I've had the Kemper and have the Helix now. The latter is great for programming, on the unit or on my MacBook. The effects are simpler (and so much more than the Fractal FX8 which sounded great but was horrible to program) too. Sound-wise, with a Powercab (rather than Mission FRFR), I'm very happy. If you don't like pages of tweakable options, get Helix.
