Thanks for the info. I got the Helix and am running it to a Peavey DM12 PA speaker. All is good and the adventure begins. I'm a young retiree so I have plenty of time for learning and tweaking.

I presently have a Spider V 240. It's been a good step for me to lose the zillion pedals I had been using with my conventional amps. But it seems the Helix community is MUCH larger than the Spider V. Also I just can't dial in the exact tones I'm looking for with the Spider V. Too me it seems to over saturate easily. So should I drop he coin on a Helix and run into either my Marshall DSL40 or the Spider V post pre-amp?
