the better deal at RS would have been on the Alto, so I did a deep dive on them both. I'm planning for a pair just in my tiny office lol
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Nice!
(wonder if they'd let me open it up with the Helix and the bass guitar at band practice level lol)
They aren't identical... the headrush goes up to ELEVEN

Ok, tin ears and speaker differences aside...
This combo of Headrush pedalboard and Headrush FRFR is actually making me moist.
I'm getting the trouser flapping goodness with loud volume, and the lovely cleaning up on the volume knob.

I got a better deal, hence I hit RSDave up with promises of a night with you.
Having just spent 5 minutes with it flapping my pants, I'm more than happy
were you playing with semi or a solid?

I've always thought that the best way to describe QSC stuff is with the term 'Loud' haha. They are loud, clean and clear and therefore a good sound tech can get a great sound out of them. best thing about QSC is the 6 year warranty and the beating they take and just keep on going.

Yamaha DXR stuff is pretty nice, also a fan of the line 6 stage source stuff if you want a nicely integrated setup
