Axe vs Real Amps

[born_hard]

well i love digital, silent playing recording wise etc.

Ive been practicing with plugins and what not so a vew weeks back i turned to my amp. My same practice routine and i sounded horrible, my technique was lacking. The way i picked, the way i dampend the strings and more. I found that when your signal gets converted analog to digital, a lot happens. The compression/conversion gives a other feel and or reaction.

So for practicing, im using my amp again unless its late at night and for recording i go digital, i cant mic at home.

You need the Rivera Silent Sister and a Rivera Rockcrusher and a Suhr Reactive Load and a Small Power Amp and a SM57.

Listen to these AX8 amp models, sounds not bad at all, i can hear lots of good qualities, but my ear is somehow tired after a while. I dont know if there is too much delay on the presets or if its the overall feel of the Fractal which affects all of the presets/amp models.

Yeah im planning on getting the torpedo live. The axe and kemper are very tempting but i dont want to loose my technique. Practicing with something thats verry unforgiving is best. But for recording those units are killer to have.

Snap the Suhr Reactive Load instead of the Torpedo Live. Its just better, all the nuances and the feel is there, the Torpedo has its own thing going on. If you need it for live work the a Suhr + IR loader unit is almost the same cash as the Torpedo.

I have never owned the reactive load and i am a suhr fanboy big time! With that said my Torpedo live works really great with my Friedman smallbox. I have yet to find an ir i like more than the Friedman v30 cab in the live box with a sm57 on it.
