It is not “helpful” when the OP of a thread comes in with unrealistic expectations and is unwilling to hear that those expectations are not reasonable.
This is a Guitar FX processor. That is what it was
designed to do. Thus the name:
Axe Fx. As in Axe == guitar. It was not named “Rack FX” or “Studio FX”. It was not designed to be a general purpose studio appliance. It has some features that someone who has not delved into the product documentation or vetted device capabilities and use cases could misconstrue, and thus view the Axe FX as a studio appliance.
Maybe in the future the product may go in that direction. That is not what it is today. No amount of wanting, wishing, mansplaining, debating, justifying or rationalizing is going to change what it is now; at this moment in time.
So while you may not see it as helpful, the fact of the matter is that you have a few options to get to 44.1:
- Get a digital interface that does up/down conversion
- Use a plug-in for up/down conversion
- Use a software interface for up/down conversion
- Record an analog source
Now, I already suspect that none of these options will meet your requirements because you insist that this Guitar FX Processor
should be a studio appliance. Which it is not because it is a Guitar FX Processor.
Get my point? We have a nice tight endless loop. We can have this circular conversation for some time and all that will happen is that it will become a shit show. Now the design of the Axe FX is not changing, at least not any time too soon, so the one way out of this endless loop is for you to accept that the answer you are getting is
the answer... at least for now.
