In this video I explain the rig I use for IEM/Silent stages and how to be happy without digital amps in this arena. If you're looking for an alternative to the Helix/Kemper/AxeFX rabbit hole this is it!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I'm still experimenting to find out what is the right rig for me. Helix floor is great for in the studio, but live I'm struggling. Maybe I'm going back to pedalboard into tube amp.
I went sort of hybrid. I gave everything up and went Helix and was happy, but still felt it could be better, so I built a board and added a Prism/Bloom, Big Sky and POG2. This makes adjusting on the fly pretty easy, since it's mainly just amp/IR/EQ tweaks when going live. I'm looking into adding a couple of analog ODs (which is how I stumbled on your channel).
