YammerUK Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I'm just about to start gigging again, for the first time since the 1980s(!) I have a Helix LT with loads of presets of different FX and amp combinations for our setlist. I've never had any trouble with it, but all of a sudden, I'm worried it will pack up on me. I could buy another one but it's the best part of a grand now. I could also buy something lower down the range, but I'm concerned that either there won't be enough footswitches and/or paths, and I'd need to make some preset/pedal compromises. So, hiring at short notice might be a useful backup. Does anyone in the UK have any useful pointers, please? I'm in Dorset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did turn up one guy based in London who rents an LT by the day, week, or 30 days. It’s silly money - examples are: daily £50, 7 days plus £17.86 or £30 days is £13.88 per day. Nah, just pick up a spare LT at the “best part of a grand”, because, as you are fully aware, they are still holding a good price as a pre-owned unit. Fail safe - always have a backup rig. If you want to check out this geezer here’s the link. https://fatllama.com/rentals/london/hire-line-6-helix-lt-guitar-processor-76725005 The only other is Big Fish who have either a HXFX or a POD XT Live at £40 a week. Hmmm! https://www.bigfishrentals.co.uk/guitars/ Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
