I'm looking to replace my Eleven Rack. I like it but there's no more USB drivers coming up for new macOS versions and I want to explore the IR route.
So I got a used Atomic Firebox 2-3 weeks ago. I want to use it as a real amp: 2 channels + 2 lead sounds with effects (presets and 2 footswitches on the unit for that). That's the way I'm using my 11R anyway.
Now I need to add some effects. I never had a pedalboard (yes but only for my simple bass rig). My needs for effect are pretty basic (apart from my lead tones that are already covered in the AFB): delay ala Pink Floyd, a phaser/flanger, a wah and I would like a looper. I was thinking getting 3-4 pedals but the price of them (and I'm not talking about the process of auditioning 50 pedals to settle on 3!!!) get me to the same price as a multi-effects. Since I have the AFB I don't need amp/cab sims but being able to use an acoustic IR is a plus. Not really loving the Line 6 amp modelling but I was eyeing a Line 6 Pod Go to use as a pedalboard or a Line 6 HX Fx. Don't want to build a big pedalboard either so if I get pedals they need to fit on my small Outlaw Nomad.
Totally a bedroom guitar player but sometimes I take my 11R or my Katana for a jam with friends.
What are your opinions?
Line 6 Pod Go or Line 6 HX Fx or pedals or other options?
PS: Used market is very very small here.
PPS: I already have a PA to connect my rig.
PPPS: I might get a Bluguitar Amp1 in a near future that will take the place of the AFB when I want a real amp feel.
