Skybone Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sounds pretty much as though my HD500x covers everything the Helix would at a far more wallet friendly price. Got to say that I'm really happy with it, and it sounds great. I do have a number of patches set up, but only really 'use' 3 of them with the band, and they're variations on a 'core sounds (different effects etc.). I'll probably get a Helix at some point in the future, but not quite yet. Maybe when I can afford that 4003... Having second thoughts on the Rumble as well...

Rumble doesn't get used much really. I use the Helix direct to PA and monitor through a Barefaced FR800. If you're planning to use it as a substitute for a pedal board then it's a bit overkill I think,. If you want it as your one stop shop (within reason) then it's worth considering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes all the sounds I need, runs on batteries if I need it to and fits in my gig bag a treat. I usually use four or possibly five patches. Not knocking the Helix or those that use it at all, but the old Zoom has got to be THE best vfm bass player's bit of kit ever made!
