tgdixonsr Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I just picked up a Helix rack and controller. As a previous user of mainly a tube amp all I can say is I am blown away. The ease of use is amazing and have already created several presets of my own. I was running the output of my Helix into a Samson Servo 170 power amp then into a 1x12 cab with a Celestion V30. Well the Samson amp which I have had for 15 years decided it was time to go. So for the time being I hooked up one of my JBL 305p monitors which does sound ok as long as I put an amp cab sim on the end of the signal chain. But its a small monitor so I know its not ideal. So my options are either get a new power amp to hook to my cab, or go with a larger studio monitor. I really like the JBL's so thinking about the 308p MkII. I just play at home and do some recording so no need for a live setup right now. Just wondering what peoples opinion on what would be the best option.

SaschaFranck Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'd go for bigger/better studio monitors. What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgdixonsr Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Not a huge budget as I just bought the Helix last week. So yeah I can get one of the 308's now and then add another for stereo down the road a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
