The clips are just a snapshot of one person dialing in one amp with one IR as of one particular firnware. I also primarily play the same genres as you.įirst, online clips tell you nothing and online "versus" discussions just sow doubt. If it helps, I like clean/ambient-ish stuff, rock, and metal (but not so much djent).Īs someone who has had a Helix and AX8 MULTIPLE times, I went with Helix ultimately and never looked back. So now's your chance! Reassure me that I'd be just as happy with the LT as the Ax8. But again I have concerns of being disappointed. Cost is a factor since I have a young family and not a lot of income for now.
Part of me wants to get the LT because of simplicity of use and having a expression pedal already there and because I can get it for less than the Ax8 (especially since I may even be able to haggle a retailer down more than $999). While it's subjective, in most of the comparisons I've listened to the Ax8 sounds better to me and I feel somewhat concerned in my mind that if I go with the less expensive LT, I'll end up being disappointed. I've never tried and Ax8 or any fractal gear.
I've tried an LT and it was quite fun for the 20 minutes I had with it, though I didn't get too much into exploring the options and tweaking and what not. I'm not in a position to buy both and keep the one I like.
#DAYTONA USA NETBOARD NOT PRESENT FULL#
The Helix LT and Ax8 are in my price range (the full helix is out, sadly) and the two contenders for purchase. I just checked and there aren't any on Reverb.Life at it's current junction seems to be pointing towards going to a digital all-in-one box. They must be kind of rare now because I never see or hear about them. I traded it for a custom S style guitar that turned out to be pretty low in the build quality dept., and I got rid of that pretty fast. It was one of the best production electric guitars I've owned and I don't know why I got rid of it. It was priced at $1,700 at Make 'n Music when they had a North Hollywood store - this was in the early nineties - and it had been on their wall for a while so I got a great discount on it. Interestingly, it had a single volume and no tone controls. Whatever the radius was, it was pretty easy to play. I don't remember the neck being particularly flat, but it was quite a while ago that I owned it so I've forgotten exactly what it was like. The fretboard was pau ferro and the neck was a spectacular piece of maple that had flames AND birdseye figuring. In some ways the predecessor to the Daytona but considerably different. Here are a couple of pics from when I owned it (excuse the poor picture quality): I just checked and there aren't any on Reverb.
