Glad to help. I've used quite a few low to mid level powered PA monitors with the Axefx std, II and now AX8. Everything from Mackie, JBL (several models) QSC, Carvin, original Atomic powered cab. Most have sounded good, but none have made me giddy like the powercab. I've never been able to try the high end powered speakers like XiTone, new Atomic or others, so I can't speak about them. I can say that using the powercab, for clean, high gain and everything in between, it sounds and feels like a guitar cab behind me, and then when I switch to piezo, it's full range makes it sounds like a sweet acoustic. It's the perfect solution for me. Moving the IR's from the AX8 to the speaker is the icing on the cake. The tone and feel has been so inspiring, I'm having a hard time setting my guitar down to do other things... like talk to my family
Very good to hear that. I can get dxr10's at dealer cost, but hesitant because the thought of getting something like the CLR, XiTone, etc that are made specifically for modeling keeps nagging at me. I have played through the CLR's but was not quite as taken by them as I hoped (after all the praise they get). They did sound good though. Still deciding. FWIW I mainly play worship music now so something that will replicate my VOX and Lonestar sounds I have in FOH will make me a happy player. And yes, you may want to schedule in family .
