I agree with the rest. I'm using the Litigator pre amp with a Vox AC 30 IR cab and a Jackson amp works IR cab and it sounds amazing. Do what sounds good to you.

Just wanted to show you guys what I purchased for my Helix last week. If you need something heavy duty then this is for you. It is big and heavy. With my Helix and volume pedal in it , it weighs about 35lbs. Not a bad price for what you get. The only cons so far are 1. You need to add some more foam to the lid to keep the Helix firmly in place while closed and 2. get some better Velcro than the stuff they send with it. https://www.amazon.com/PDC-4100G-Flight-Pedal-Case-Heavy/dp/B00QCHOL2S/ref=lp_2587438011_1_3?srs=2587438011&ie=UTF8&qid=1489512164&sr=8-3

I know I'm late to the party but I just got my helix a couple of days ago but I thought I would chime in and tell you what I'll be using it with. So I play on the worship team at my church and I've been using a 500x straight into the sound board xlr out stereo.We have a professional grade sound system and great sound guys so that eliminates my fear of control. I got some pretty good tones out of the 500x but it took some work. Now that I've been playing around with the helix and some IR's I purchased from 3 Sigma Audio, I'm getting some really killer tones with it. I haven't used an amp in a long while and I don't believe I will for a while longer.

I just got my Helix but I am going to set it up the same way I did my 500x. I'm going into a Dunlop volume pedal and use the on board pedal as the expression pedal.
