ami duin et rite?There is no going back. Just going round and round.

Your missing somethingThat's still digital. Unless I am missing something.
dude in one of my fav bands around here plays a katana head. he makes it sound amazing, really good musician too.
check em out if you like death metal:
I wonder how many rotations of "back to ___" it takes until a guitarist understands that everything has its place.
My last few rotations were very quick, now I play whatever inspires me that weekend.

Ithink it took me two complete rotations between all-analog to all-digital to realize you should have both.
Amp
Cab
Pedalboard
Modeler
Monitors
“Done”
Actually I think the handful of PODs I’ve owned disqualifies me from saying I haven’t owned a modeller
I’ve successfully avoided all the GOOD ones though
It’s the sane path. There isn’t gear that makes every sound, there’s gear that makes a sound, and tone is the product of how that gear is combined.I bounce back and forth as the mood strikes me as well.
If you have a spare switch on the Helix; set it up for channel switching via MIDI on the EVH
update time....
ok so i got a few pedals (tuner, third man triplegraph). hooked up a simple board with those 2 and my TS9DX and EQD afterneath. sounded pretty good.
but then i was just like... what about using the helix with no amp sims straight into the front of the amp with only a few effects? I had only been using amp sims into the fx return. not sure why i never tried this before but its AMAZING. the amp sounds great which is ultimately what i wanted. its like its more raw and organic, hits a little quicker, sits better in a band mix. removing the amp sims freed up some DSP and let me switch from the simple pitches to the poly pitches for my octaves which is nice.
i have my 4 snaps setup with boost, boost and gate, boost and chainsaw fuzz in parallel, boost and fuzz w gate so it gives a few different options. then with my 5153 i have the blue and red gain channels so i setup the blue as my main gain sound and the red is set a little louder. its sweet to have so many options even though i dont use them all since our music is pretty dumb and straight forward. for effects i just use octave up and down on momentary switches. chorus and reverb on the 3rd button. and then a chaos setting with an infinite delay and reverb where the exp pedal controls delay time for noise sections.
the extra space on the floor for the 5153 footswitch and hooking up another thing is kinda annoying but it sounds so good i'm willing to do it. maybe ill look at something smaller than the LT since i only need it for effects now. ive played 2 really good shows this way now and a guitar player from another band whose seen us a few times asked me what i changed. he said it sounded better so i guess thats good, unless it means i sounded like shit before hahaha. i got a long speaker cable and am running a 4x12 on both side of drums.
TL;DR so yea... round and round (again lol) back home to the helix but no amp sims into the front of the amp is my live setup right now and it fucks.
My presets are built with split paths so I feed my stomp fx into my 2204 on stage and then the other side of the split goes through amp sims (hx2203 usually) to FOH.update time....
