Hey guys,
Long time lurker - soon to be Axe-FX owner.
I have finally decided to give this thing a whirl. I realized the other day that 99.9% of the time I spend playing is in a situation where my amp is under the stage being monitored through in ears or in a studio using either my amp mic'ed up in another room or some sort of direct solution like Guitar Rig. So, I figured what the heck.....sell the beloved tube amp and go for it.
I have a few questions for you guys, if you would be so kind.
1) Ultra vs. Standard. I know the basic difference between the two (more processor and memory, additional effects, synth, vocoder, etc.). For the most part, in live situations I am going to be using my Axe-FX basically as an amp, running my pedal board into the front end for my effects (I need to keep things pretty flexible and be able to make changes on the fly). In recording situations I plan on having a lot of patches that utilize the internal effects on the unit, especially the more ambient, spacious delays, reverbs, etc. Are patches like "Crystals" possible on the Standard or are a lot of those types of effects possible due to the extra effects included on the Ultra?
2) I would like to run stereo outs from my pedal board into the Axe-FX. I know there are two unbalanced line level inputs on the back of the unit. Sparing any innuendo-esque "putting it in the rear" responses , what are the tonal differences between using the instrument input on the front panel vs. the unbalanced line level inputs on the back. I would really love to use my TC Nova Delay in stereo for the ping pong and pan delay settings.
Thanks so much!
