I guess I'd love the option for the latter. But knowing how to utilize both ways would be great to know.Are you looking to run the TC 50 only direct to FOH, or will you also have a live cab on stage?
Guess I'm not understanding the implementation that you are trying to convey?Just use the mesa in the fx loop of the axe. If you want to use it without cab, you'll have to pull the power tubes out, or have to use a high wattage 8 ohm resistor. Be carefull. Tube power amps without load (speakers or high wattage resistor) can fry their output transformer.
Use axe fx send to mesa in, mesa send(if it has an fx loop)to axe fx return. Then use axe fx out to frfr monitor. If this is what u mean.
No. This is for the cab clone. Yes you can turn speakers off, but that signal is sauced by the cab clone out. Wouldn't be good to basically run a cab sim into another cab simApparantly you can just turn your speakers off so this should not be a problem.
I almost answered this a few hours ago and then had to think about it. Here's what I saw as the problem:
If you run the AxeFX just for FX (no amp model), in 4CM, I can't see a way (using AxeFX routing) to include the power section of the TC50 in the signal going to the cab IR. You can't route the 4CM to insert effects between the power amp and cab.
But if you can run an amp model in the AxeFX and turn off only the preamp section? If so, you could run a shunt to an amp block (power amp sim only), cab block, and FX Loop block.
I don't have the AxeFX anymore so I can't build the grid myself. I might not be explaining it quite right, but hopefully you or someone else can get what I mean lol.
The preamp section is what O want, not the poweramp section of the Mesa. Looks like a Torpedo live is in the near future for me. One of the wishes for the Axe Fx III is more effects loops and routing options!
