Hi
I'm writing from India and want to ask few things about the Axe Fx unit. I will get into the contemporary questions as well as old comparisons with G system etc.
I am from India and own decent Pro gear which includes Vox AC30 HH Head, Marshall Plexi, Ceriatone Overtone Special and Blackface Deluxe reverb with 16 different guitars including '59 Les paul by Navigator (ESP Company). Got few excellent pedals such as TC Nova system, RAT, delays, OD etc etc.
I have read enough reviews to excite me and entice me to buy this unit but I'm not sure if it will serve the ultimate purpose I have:
I love the effects on the Nova System and is thinking to buy G system based on its switching and routing flexibility. I am not a complete fanatic of modelled sounds and those ultra effects such as Harmonizer. I need a guitar processor with superb quality basic FX effects (Delay, Vibrate, Compressor, Reverb etc) to run in the loop of my amps using 4 cable method mostly.
As I understand from the reviews, most of the axe fx users have switched to a "Power amp - Monitors" kind of set up and this type of set up is last on my list. I want to use my tube amps and cabs only. So what's your advice on using Axe Fx in loop for FX vs. same thing with G system. Having amp sims will be a bonus, no doubts about it.
I do no work in a studio environment and mostly play at home for fun! So there is not much requirement for direct recording and stuff.
I believe that the Axe Fx cannot nail the richness and character of TC's effects. Please give your expert comments on the same and suggest if I should buy Axe Fx over G system or not. But I do like the concept of tweaking freedom you get with Axe Fx.
Thank you
