Axe-Master
in case it's about choice and / or need
I have little choice but to use 4x12 cabs because I'm limited as to what I can carry on a plane..
and I play in a wide range of venues from small clubs to open air arenas and everything in between
and I can't expect venues to provide anything unusual or exotic, so my tech rider asks for something readily available [a pair of Marshall 4x12 cabs]
however.. this limits the cabs I can use in the Axe to zero..
with FRFR you have the ability to use whatever cabs you wish in the Axe - which of course offers you more tonal diversity..
most folk only play domestic gigs and drive to the gig with their own backline / monitoring
and maybe they don't need / want to lug around the traditional 'big box' cos it's heavy and you'll need a bigger car / van to transport it..
so your choice is a combination of:
- your live needs
- your tonal needs
