So I went to see Kage's band last night and it was his first gig with the Axe-fx Ultra. We really did not have that much time to tweak the sounds, so we just programmed some basic patches and rolled with it.
All I can say is that even without us really spending time dialing in the sound, his live tone was killer at times and dare I say it cut better live then the boogie did when he used the boog rig. I only say that the tone was killer at times only because we would try a few things between sets and when we got it dialed in, it KILLED...Period.
The only snag I ran into is that at one time between a set I dialed in his lead sound WAY to hot, so when he stepped on the lead it took everyones faces off because it was so loud
We all just pissed out pants because the look on Kages face was priceless, although I don't think the band was as amuzed!! The audiance however loved it
There are a few things that we need to go over but all i can say is that the potential of this thing is incredible. To be able to pull off a LIVE show and not have this thing even dialed in 100% yet says volumes.
With that said, Im not 100% sold on the Carvin poweramp just yet. I think that Kage might have to run it bridged or I might have to Globally bump up his sound levels because he was definitely running out of headroom on the thing IMHO.
On another note, SteveVHT showed up and it was GREAT to see him and Tom King From Atomic Amps/Fractal Audio came all the way out from CT to Hang out!!
Tom Even came up and dialed in the sound levels on the AXe-fx. How great is that!
I can't even tell you how cool Tom is as a person and I had such a blast just hanging out with him talking shop and just Bs'ing in general! I am really looking forward hearing the new Atomic Amps Tube Powered speakers. Im already positive that they are going to kick me in the teeth!! Tom, YOU RULE and thanks for everything!!
and.......
Steve, if you are reading this, we need to get together more often brother! It was great hanging with you!
Well Im sure Kage will chime in when he wakes up from the FOG
Im sure that he didn't get home until the we hours of the morning 
Also, D-man!! It was great seeing you to as well!
YOU ROCK and your Train ride story was classic!
