Be interested to hear how the drives on the FX8 are - still have a bit of a mental block in using digital drives! :-(
I think I'm leaning more towards the AX8 though as it adds in the amp/cab model options which I think i'd use more than the 4 cable and amp switching options of the FX8.
@Vaiai - I'm intrigued to know what made you go Helix over AX8?
@Aidanspaghetti
hell no!
@Beexter - modelling and direct to PA is becoming more of an option with venues we play - plus ability to do home recording etc. FX8 is stunning bit of kit tho and I'm not in a mad hurry to sell but I put the ad up anyway as I do want to get the Helix and get started. Have gigs most weekends too so need to make sure I have kit for a gig whilst transitioning lol
I like a lot of the Helix features, built in Exp pedal, simplicity of UI and coloured lights with scribble strips for on stages - surprisingly becomes quite a feature when on a darkened one! Editing on the fly is another - FX8 is not bad and I always learn on the unit before using the supplied software for that reason.
Anyone know if you can buy one of these below ?
"The FX8 will work fine with the amp. You will need to make a little break-out box to convert the midi footswitch jack to two TRS jacks for the FX8. On the back of the amp is a pinout for the jack, it just shorts or opens to ground for each function of the amp, which is the same as the sleeve in Fractal’s literature. Very straight forward. "
