So the signal flow is Audio Technica Wireless-> Helix Rack-> QSC GX3 Power Amp-> Blackstar HTV-212 cab. I snapped a picture at pep band tonight and I'm absolutely in love with this rig.

what are the main amps you like in it for hard rockin'? I'm clueless on what they model now. Curious if there's an engl or diezel type thing.

3u or 4u?

Either way, that thing is huge!!

Glad you like it!

My clean tone is the Roland JC-120, which is a fantastic clean amp. The mid gain (my classic rock grit) is the Orange OR80. My heavy distortion (modern distortion) is a Mesa Mark VI Rhythm II. My lead patch is in the works. I'm starting with the Mark VI Lead channel, but I may change it to something else. I like the Dual Recto model in there too. For OD's I switch between the Klon, the TS, and the OCD models. I'm using the Boss CE-1 model for chorus. My phaser is a Phase 90. For delays I like the Echoplex model. When I tap tempo it even makes cool speed up or slow down sounds. On the clean tone, I can also replicate a pad synth by using the spring loaded volume pedal (also controls delay feedback) to fade in along with the reverse delay block. This thing is super versatile.

3U. The reason why it's so big is there's like 20 different IO connections. 4 effects loops on this. The QSC is a 2U PA and the AT is 1U.

Also I've had this since June. I just finally got around the posting it here.
