Picked up one of the recently, I'm only skimming the surface with what it's capable of but just WOW. Still going to stick to drive pedals but as far as delays, leslie, phaser, chorus etc this handles the effects side of things superbly
So, anyone else have one?

Re: Headrush Gigboard WHOA
I had 3 before I got my Helix.
All 3 failed within a week due to usb issues. Apart from that, yeah great

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
Re: Headrush Gigboard WHOA
Slight irony in the fact that I chose it over the Helix due to reading about a number of the Helix's failing
I guess things like that are always a possibility with digital, I'd like think that the more you spend the chances of any issues arising reduce. But I'm probably just being an optimist

I reckon we got a bad batch in new zealand, though at the time there were a lot of complaints worldwide, obviously in 'merica you could just send them back for free warranty repair. After 3 I said I'd had enough.
2 years on, helix is solid.

I was glad I went RS, they swapped each out with no hassle and suggested the Helix LT at a very reduced price after the 3rd.Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 8:25 pmYeah probably. Ended up going through Anderton's for mine
Andertons... that would have got complicated.

Re: Headrush Gigboard WHOA
Over two years later and still loving my Gigboard, my pedalboard has changed a bit since then but it's still an integral part of it. Especially now that I've managed to set a footswitch to control the speed of the leslie, which incidentally is one of the best sounding rotary effects I've heard. Seems to be that you can't buy them new anymore, everyone is 'saying out of stock' or they've been removed from the lineup completely. Guessing it may have been replaced by the newer and smaller MX5
Have a couple of new pedals on the way, due early next week so once they arrive I'll post an updated pedalboard pic
