I have book 9 cued up on my kindle and can’t wait to start. I love the books but haven’t watched the show.

I sort of wandered off into a self serving diatribe but I guess the point I was going to make was that I've really been looking at the Helix stuff lately because everyone else in the praise band world seems to be going digital. I used an original L6 POD for a while but just didn't get the feel I could get from a real amp. Plus I tend to lean in on a not quite so clean sound and work around that. Most likely close to a slightly driven Vox or Marshall. The thought of plunking down a board and plugging into FOH is appealing though.
I can't afford a AXE-FX or Kemper so I was sort of poking around the idea of a Helix Stomp. Is it that good that I could live without tubes?
I get the impression it was a bit of both but Covid sped up the process. They claim that they're seeing a decrease in tube amplifiers (??!!). Great company and really sad to see them go under.
Those look a lot like Squarplug SPS5 or SPS4 to me. The squareplugs are soldered connections.
Really slick graphic! Is that an etch or a decal?
What about after you installed it, if you touch the legs of the LED to the legs of the vactrol, does it light up?? What are you using in Q1?Nothing before the comps in the chain.Have you used a spare LED to make sure that both the vactrol is the right way round despite the dot? I've seen it wrong before. What are you using in Q1?
Sounds like it's time for an audio probe to see where it is being introduced.
I used the spare LED before I installed the vactrols.
