I started playing just over a year ago with a buddy I've known in the arts scene for a while, and it was a good excuse to put my Line 6 Helix to the test in a gigging environment.
Rather than lug my Mark IV to use as a grossly overqualified poweramp, this palm-sized box puts out 44 watts into my 2x12 or 22 watts into a 4x12, still plenty loud for a rock band!
Testing it out as a real amp with pedals, I thought it was "ok", driving it hard it got gritty, and not to my taste.
The real gold for me though is plugging my Helix (and now Fractal FM9) into the FX loop return, where the Interblock is purely a cab volume control. It is transparent enough that I can get what I need and let the modeller do the heavy lifting!
Has anyone else tried these before? The only downside I see is the proprietary power supply but otherwise, it's excellent.
