anybody used a modeler thru a Loudbox? I used the amp for years doing a solo gig at a local resteraunt, and it was perfect volume and size. I'd like to bring in a low volume drummer and bass played, and do electric stuff also. I was wondering if anyone had tried this set up?
using Helix/AM4 with Fishman Loudbox ?

Acoustic amps are essentially hi-fi speakers, because they need to recreate full-range audio from acoustic pickups. You might get some clipping from pushing line-level audio into the instrument-level input, depending on your setup, but it's essentially an FRFR with different voicing. Any acoustic amp with an effects loop is closer to a true FRFR, if you plug into the return. I used acoustic amps for years, then switched to a Tech 21 Power Engine 60T, which is an open-back FRFR, for my electric violin. My rig has consisted of preamp>pedals, a Pod HD500, Helix Floor, and currently a preamp>HX Stomp. I swapped the Power Engine for a PA recently, and the only difference is less weight. Sounds great with clean effects chains or with amp models for overdrive.

I’m sure with some eq on the device and/or the amp it will sound fine. How it feels is of course subjective.
I’d love to see some kind of shootout where someone plugs their modeler into a bunch of keyboard amps, acoustic amps, electronic drum monitors and mp3/karaoke boom boxes from Costco.
