Well that certainly changes things.

While I hate the QSC Touchmix system that we use actually being able to mix my own monitor from my ipad is wonderful. Playing in a large hall with dedicated monitor and FOH mixers this week I actually missed being able to do that since I was about 50 feet on the wrong side of the stage from the monitor mixer.I do it because I got tired of the "less piano in the wedge....no less. LESSS......too much, bring it back...MORE....no wait, less....! Why does my guitar sound weird throughmih this?" ETC.
It's easier to twist your own knobs sometimes, independent of the house systems. That being said, more often than not I just use a good Roland keyboard amp as a FR/FR amp. It's pretty flat, EQ-wise.
You were still looking for an EHX powered speaker weren't you?
I never bothered. That said, EV's expertise in full range speaker cabs is leaps and bounds beyond EHX. You may not like the way it looks, but you probably won't find a better speaker than the EV.
I used the EV ELX 112P for a guitar monitor for years. It worked great for an onstage speaker. Now I'm using the Mackie HD1221. It has a slightly sweeter high end but its also several hundred dollars more. The Ev works fine though.
Here's the bare bones rig

When they actually read your concert rider, that is...
And I'll give you another reason to use a keyboard amp instead of a powered PA speaker -- they're much easier to tweak, and the volume controls are less fussy and easier to get to.
Nope. They all seem to be, don't they?
This is what intrigued me about using a neo PA speaker. Even if I wanted to use volume and EQ pedals after a processor like the Helix, that still beats lugging a 60 pound amp.
I have an EV ZLX 12p. Assuming it's the same thing or very similar? Did you use it in floor wedge "mode" or more as a backline?
Because every member of the band doesn't always get his own monitor mix or even his own nonitor.If there is a sound guy, then there is a PA. If there is a PA, then you already have a monitor. Why do you need a separate monitor for your guitar?

I did the modeling setup into a FRFR for a while. I messed around with cheap monitors for a time, and after throwing away too much time and money on trying to keep them working, I finally decided to get some nice ones.
I got a set of JBLs, and I love them. They are crystal clear and very reliable.
