Thurston9 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 You buy a broken Helix on eBay for cheap that one allows one preset with snapshots and enough processing for one pedal, one amp and one speaker/cab/mic/IR... What do you select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 That's a heck of a story. I'd probably go with a Fender deluxe, a tube screamer and a jensen 12" with a 57. Or you might just ask for a refund and save up for a functioning Helix. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurston9 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Yeah just trying to avoid answers like "I'd return it". Interested in what people would choose if limited to just one setup. Would you go for a flexible do-it-all amp? Or maybe one that does one thing very well? Thanks for playing along :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco_Crocco Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 P75 Tube screamer Whatever brit 4x12 cab has vintage 30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminjimlp Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 You know as I read through here I think that if you did have a broken Helix that this was all you could do with it, it would still be better than 90 or 95% of the units out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKenivel Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Archon lead, my usual IR, cave Reverb. You'd be surprised how much you can do with that one reverb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDaveDaveDave Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Easy - the Minotaur, Mark IV Lead and Brit 4x12. A Mark IV is not an easy amp to tweak, but it was my main amp for about 10 years. With the two gain controls and the built in EQ, you can really cover a lot of ground, and even get a great clean sound. Fun game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
