First of all I feel like I am a fairly experience fractal user. I've had it about a year and a half. I tweak with it for hours on the weekends and I feel comfortable dialing in some good tones...I"m a low to mid gain player blues rock/ fusion etc...
I haven't played through a real amp pretty since the fractal arrived. I use K12's to dial in sounds at gig level. I never do any recording, the fractal is my amp.
All I kept saying to my wife yesterday while we were in Austin Vintage Guitars was, "man this doesn't sound like my axe fx." I've spent hours tweaking mid gain tones and dialing in stuff and man that two rock was legit. It was just a breathe of fresh air for some reason. I was playing a '82 les paul custom, which didn't hurt either. The above quotation means: "man this thing sounds a lot better than my axe fx"
I haven't really been drawn to the two rock models on the axe fx though. I"ve spent time with them but they don't sound as good as the FW18 soldanos or Dumbles/Ford's for example.
I guess my post gets summed down to the age old argument of Axe Fx vs. amp in the room sound. I just haven't heard a really nice amp in the room sound in a long time. Ive played with other people with amps in the room but they just weren't two rocks!!!!
The versatility of the axe is more desirable to me than having the two rock, but just the pure tone of the two rock was amazing. It was like the tone I've always been looking for and never knew how to get it kind of thing.
I love my axe fx and i'm not gonna sell it to get the two rock...I may buy a two rock at some point though, hell and the 82 custom.
anyway I had to post this on here....I don't know really where to go from here.
I"ve used the delays in the cab block to get the amp in the room sound. I use the room level in the cab block. I've used a little slap back delay before the cab block.
I was just super impressed with the two rock and how sexy it was....and i'd love to have that same vibe with the axe fx....cheers
