My nephew visited last night, and it was the 1st time he's seen my new Helix LT. Needless to say, he was blown away and wants one of his own. He loved the delay and reverb capabilities.
He has a special event coming up, and my wife and I want to really treat him. So, she and I spoke about a Helix as a gift last evening. It is more than we initially planned to spend on the gift, but it is something we'd like to do.
He is a 100% an acoustic player. Currently he plays at home through a Yamaha THR5a as well as headphones. The thought would be that he'd be able to use the Helix out to the THR5a for home use. When gigging he currently uses an inexpensive pedal (not sure make/model) to the house PA.
So, would the Helix LT or the HX Effects be the better option. Realizing of course the cost savings, I am hoping the HX Effects is a good solution.
Thanks, John
