Hi All, I’m new to forum and forums in general.
I have a Axe fx 2, firm ware 16 running stereo into a Peavey mixer straight out to two powered monitors QSC k 12 and a beherenger euro live 15.
I came into the game with line 6 Axesys 212 then to Vetta to Hd500 then to Eleven Rack now to Axe fx 2.
I still love the Vetta after (I changed its speakers) and it served me well for 10 years playing out in local bars as you can see I have been modeling for awhile but i'm 50 its heavy and new band is spoiled and not into lugging gear. LOL
I have downloaded Scott Peterson's and Pete thorn's presets and find I'm very bass heavy so I have applied the proper low and high pass filters to every preset now.
Recently checked out Pete Thorn's playing clean and mid gain presets he made on Youtube and I can get close but really I am not satisfied I am playing back YouTube from a mixer through two Event 20/20 bias monitors and he sounds awesome I plug the axe fx into same board and monitors and I just can’t get there in an hour to his 10 mins. I did realize his vids were from firmware 11 but still?
I have invested 4 weeks at loud volumes, I have never been a tube amp guy and just want to play out live with this thing (which I have) through my monitors and be inspired at least as good as the Vetta made me feel. I play alot of classic rock covers from Beatles to Nirvana to tool, but really just need one clean, one crunch, one hi gain and a lead (am I asking for too much?).
I recently found my Gate was set on all my presets to -83 after turning that off completely and hoping that was the issue I'm getting worried this is just not going to work for me.
I need a try this or turn that off Eureka moment fast.......
....As I write I'm getting ready to hook up Ipad with AmpKit to board because it sounds so good through headset and want two see if its work at loud volumes in monitors. There is something so wrong with an Axe Fx 2 stareing right at me!
I have noticed others (some mentioned) into monitor switching going from QSC then to Atomic clr's Etc... I need two stop at QSC12's and may just have to say I can not be happy with the AXE FX 2 and chop the Vetta head from the cab and go that way.
Thanks, from really want this to work!
