Hi,
I appreciate that new people to this stuff asking questions gets annoying, but your help is appreciated.
I've pretty much not touched my electrics for about 8 years and having solely played acoustic for that time, i'm finally getting back into the game. Having sold most of my gear (excluding a couple of guitars and some pedals), i thought i'd pretty much settled on getting a tube amp and running my pedals into it via a boss ES-5 or ES-8. Then the Helix Floor was mentioned........and I can get a good deal on a used unit.
It looks good, I like the sound of it, am happy to invest the time in getting good sounds etc. - but having never really used anything like this before , i just wanted to clarify the best way of going about getting set up.
It will be used mostly (initially at least) for home use, maybe the odd jam session with friends. We don't have any neighbours, so i'd like to be able to crank the volume occasionally too. I think from doing some reading, the best solution for me is to go for a monitor style FRFR speaker which I can place at my feet - i'm conscious that i don't want to go crazy on spec as this is very out of my comfort zone, but obviously want a good sound.
Is this the 'best' way to go for someone new to this? And what speakers should I be looking at (i'm in the UK if that makes any difference). Also, connectivity wise, how am I setting all this up? XLR?
Thanks, and apologies for asking questions you've no doubt answered in some form about 10000 times......
