guitarman2323 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So I love the EP Booster as my go to boost. The problem is you need another power supply for it and I don't want to put the helix on a board. I have the helix gig bag and I've sidelined a very good and loaded pedalboard for just the Helix as my main board into PRS/category 5 tube amps. I think it would be cool to see a model of the EP for this reason. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruckingFuggle Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I loved my EP going into my Blackstar. But the EP going into the Helix just didn't do anything for me. I haven't put it in one of the loops yet, maybe that's the key. I really liked the way it fattened up the signal before it hit the preamp. Didn't get anything like that when running into the Helix guitar input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I also love that pedal, but find that I can get a lot of the same vibe with a clean Minotaur, or even the Vintage Tube Pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get anything like that when running into the Helix guitar input. I felt exactly the same way. The EP Booster was almost always on when I had my Mesa Heartbreaker, but once I got the Helix it just didn't have the same effect, either in line or in a loop. If I were to take a wild guess it probably has something to do with the whole analogue versus digital modeling thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRalphN Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I set the Timmy model up for clean a clean boost. it works fantastic. I actually used to do same thing when I had a real Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
