Aside from the digital/tube preamp/amp debate.....axefx rigs are just fuggin' boring.
LOL..yeah they're not as cool looking as old Marshall/Mesa heads & cabs with tubes glowing. I'm not gonna argue with that
This vid is current footage of their AxeFx tone that the whole stadium gets to hear night after night......you certainly can't tell me that's not good enough, plus with all the other added benefits/convenience/reliability that an all digital rig at the level of the Fractal stuff brings to the table.......99% of all folks couldn't tell this tone from any tube rig....& the 1% that thinks it can, doesn't matter to anyone for all intents & purposes
That was a cool vid. Nice to see different perspectives. So now that the guitar tone thing is just a child of the right presentation can we argue about Lars using snare drum replacement/supplementation live!! Not knocking his performance on this go round but damn, that snare. As much dynamics as the horizon of a salt flats
It's been great to hear James's voice sound good for a few years now.
Whatever the effect of the tone, then or now, I personally just wish I saw some remnant of THIS in the band that they are today,
I know bands evolve, change, adapt, etc. But, personally, this is the shit that made me fell like I could run right the fuck through a brick wall. Sadly, this doesn't feel, sound or look anything like what I saw this year at the Rose Bowl. Again, no hate. They are great. What they are, how they sound, today just doesn't do it for me anymore........
All just my opinion.......
