Well I went for best of both world !!! Helix EVH 5150 III 50 watt Head Used Line 6 DT50 4x12 Cab (2 x V30 and 2 x G12H90) for 300$ CDN score? and a nice pair of Yamaha HS8 (more bottom \o/) I'll use the Helix standalone and 4CM Back to playing with toys!

Apparently the Audio issues is fixed with El Captain 10.10.4? I've sold the Apogee Quartet, just awaiting the final payment and then I'll pull the trigger on something ;) This week I've finally was able to try one of the tube amps I had my eye on, EVH 5150 III 50 watt Head \o/, nice clean compared to a rectifier and a OMG GAIN maybe too much :blink: I'm looking for sparkling cleans to djent type tones. Also tried a Rectifier Mini Head/ So choices so far: Setup 1 - about ~2700$ the bundle tax in EVH 5150 III 50 watt Head + Mesa Rectifier 2 x 12 Vintage + a couple of required pedals (NS-2 Noise Reducer + MXR Bass Comp + Maxon OD808 as a boost) for a nice djent type tone, the 5153 also has a nice clean compared to a rectifier. + Free mini pedaltrain + power + cables in a bundle + Tubes!!! \o/ - No Recording @ first Setup 2 – about 3000$ with a Furman M-8DX Line 6 Helix + Studio Monitors Option 1 a pair of Yamaha HS7 @ 350$/each - Tried with the Helix, it sounded awesome Option 2 a pair of Neumann KH120 @ 650-799$/each - Tried with the Helix, Awesomer? are they worth twice the price? :rolleyes: Also tried the JBL LSR308 (I did find them dull) A buddy recommended the Focal Alpha 50 but I would have to source them elsewhere and hope for the best, they are 350$/each + All-in-One Practice/Studio - No Tubes But I could always had an Amp Head + CAB, Tube Preamps and/or FRFR down the road when GAS $ becomes available again! Setup 3 $$$$$$$$$$ Axe-FX 2 XL+ and Studio Monitors + Community + Periphery made patches and more + Well endorsed by pros - Can do an All-in-One Practice/Studio using USB but just guitars and bass I think - OMG $$$ - would have to cheap out some monitors

That might be a show stopper, I could aggregate with the Quartet but the idea was to replace it with the Helix. Hopefully this bug is on the high priority fix list?

Oups Shure :rolleyes:

I have Sony SRH1440 for headphones

I'm back playing guitar after about 10 years hiatus, I owned a Mesa Trem-O-Verb Dual Rectifier before, now I bough an L6 AMPLIFi 150, it does okay but I don't like the controls with the iPad that much, anyways I'm into sparkling clean to djent style tones. This is for Home Recording (Guitars, Bass and Vocals) and just having some fun, no jamming plans so far... So the plan was to get a nice tube amp, probably a Mesa Rectifier and a Cab but I'm been researching for months on different options on amp & FX modeling. Problem is that in my area (Canada) local music store don't carry much mid to high stuff in stock, so comparing stuff side by side like its was years ago in a store is not possible anymore... :( Right now I own: An L6 AMPLIFi 150 wich I think could be used as an FRFR right but in mono using a no amp, no cab patch right with the Helix? But having a Stereo setup would be real nice :) Apogee Quartet, not used much, tried PC/MAC based Amp Modeller like BIAS but too much latency for practice, I might sell this if I can use the Helix like an audio interface? I did had an opportunity to try one Helix for about 1 hour in a store thru a Fender Twin Reverb and Headphones, it did sound nice and it was simple to figure out. Here's the plan Helix + Using 2 Studio Monitors, I'm thinking of getting JBL LSR308 and/or AMPLIFi 150 as an FRFR Using the Helix as a Audio interface with my MacBook Pro and Logic Pro X. Selling the Apogee Quartet for more funds for other gear ;) I could always add real AMP using 4CM or FRFR Cab down the line. I'd like to know if this sound right before putting about 2600$ CND into this project. Thanks in advance!
