Helix Talk

[fr8_trane]

I've been shooting some OG Helix vs Agoura amp on my Stadium floor, and i totally get the "feeling" thing people bring up when comparing the two.

Sonically, the new models are not miles ahead of HX (which were very good to begin with), it's like like a slightly higher res version of the same thing. They do feel very different to play thou, and Agoura reacts much better to things like picking dynamics and volume changes.

Exactly what I'm hoping for. Especially better volume rolloff with Marshall models

I think you may really like the Agoura Plexi and 2203 in that regard.

I kinda want to snag a cheap Stomp. Again.

That's what I did...

My AM4 is going on a board, with a few pedals. So if I got another stomp, it would be my man purse rig. I’ve got the POD express, but it’s a little too limiting for me.

I need to get a board to tidy up the rats nest of cables. Ideally would like decent power supply too but they're pretty pricey for ones that will power hx stomp at 1A and UA Golden at 400mA.
