So i got my Axe-Fx maybe two or three months ago, From a fellow member now i dont like to post reviews until i feel im comfrotable with a item, Of course a amp usually takes a week or two to get to know pretty well espically when you play way to damn much like I do . Anyways the Axe was a different story it took this time to get to the point of me getting the sound in my head.
The Axe Fx can be made to sound very bad quiet easily...
But i think since 9.02 you can actully get a pretty good sound with just a amp simple amp block, im planning on recording with it but 99% of the time im using it for live, After hearing SamHills videos i decided to go with the art-sla 2 and at first it was quite a challenge getting rig of that solid state high end, But after reading countless thread's especially the whole "Countour your sound" Thread which i have to say there is 2 PEQ In every single one of my chains, Simply because with the Art or any SS PA for that matter theres more of a balancing act then with Tube PA's, A SS PA doesnt sit as well in a mix live and you find yourseld either being to loud or to quiet, (And its not a lack of mids or to much gain because i use lots and lots of mids) Its just something in the high end,But once you spend some time with it you can dial it out, Ive yet to try the Axe with a Tube PA, and i plan to try out a VHT in the near future, But i couldnt imagine it getting much better!
My sound is the best its every been and ive owned, A Mark IV, XTC, Shiva, Jcm 800 & 2000 and some others i cant think of. So i Have tube counterparts to compare it to. Also my other guitarist has some tube amps that i tweak side to side with the Axe and im pretty blown away at how accurate the axe is, 40-60 Hours of tweaking in and tonal heaven: 2 compressors 1 on each amp: Brown and Hi-watt amp sims, With 2 PEQ's Im in love
