Axe-Master
I finally got around to hooking up the AX8 to my Power Station. I ran it into my Bogner Cube 1x12 (Vintage 30). In a nutshell it sounds really good. For this configuration I ran with power amp simulation enabled on the AX8 since the Power Station is fundamentally designed to work transparently (you can read up on it on the Fryette site for more info). It does seem to be very neutral and things definitely sound better with power simulation on rather than off. Most of the video is just me noodling with my JTV Variax. Towards the end I switch back to the PRS I used for the 4CM demo. And the last section is back to using the Badger as a power amp - I did not do 4CM for this, I just ran the AX8 output into the return of the Badger. With the Badger as a power amp I disabled power amp simulation on the AX8.
I definitely like the Badger as a power amp better than the Fryette Power Station. But I can't say that I like running it with the Badger better than running FRFR with the CLR. It's really close. For the short term, I am going to run with the Badger since I have a gig coming up shortly - I'll basically run the AX8 like I was running the FX8 before.
