nremondelli Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has tried or heard a Helix through the MF? Thinking this may be a nice inexpensive solution for my new yet-to-be-delivered Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtFarmer Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Haven't used that, but for the same price a couple powered monitors would do nicely, or one 12" Alto powered speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedulrich Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm with DirtFarmer. I got a used Alto TS215 powered cab for less than what those go for. The Freeplay's battery option looks nice if you're out busking with an acoustic electric and maybe a mic, but for something like the Helix that already requires mains power, it doesn't make much sense over a powered wedge with a little more range and muscle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. If battery powered is a primary requirement, a Boss ME-80 could be a better mate. After a year with my Helix, I'd just prefer an extension cord ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
