    It's been an interesting run

    My point on the cost was that you had access to 200 amps and everything you need to gig at $4K. If you only use 1-3 amp models, it pulls in the comparison much closer...obviously. As far as the Marshall rig I proposed, I was trying to go apples to apples i.e. buying new for either option. If...

    It's been an interesting run

    In the spirit of the OP...I've been toying with this idea too but man, it would be costly for that one sound! The math may be missing some items so rough apples-to-apples: Fractal Setup AxeFX 2 = $2250 MFC = $650 EV-1 Expression Pedal = $140 Atomic CLR = $1000 Rack Holder = $100 TOTAL for 200...

    Sigh... gig failure.

    ANY equipment can and will fail...at some point. Yes some equipment is more reliable than others. I'm actually not a Fractal owner at the very moment anymore (decided to change things up) but the only times it ever failed me were due to bad wiring at the rehearsal space, user error, and beer...

    Presets scrolling and won't stop

    Thanks...that's what I was thinking was one of the issues. Good news though...was a MFC issue that they solved so nothing mechanical which was my concern.

    Presets scrolling and won't stop

    Just curious if anyone ever had an issue where the preset scroll is stuck in perpetual motion. This is happening on a Axe II XL+ I just sold someone and trying to help out on what it may be short of them opening a ticket or me having to take it back. All was well before I sent it. The things I...

    Line 6 G10

    I did give the FW update a shot but it didn't have any effect. What was weird is it worked well for a couple of gigs and then 3-4 gigs in row, the G70 would time out frequently to the point I couldn't count on it live so I gave up. It's not like I was playing some of these gigs in heavy wifi...

    For those who have gone AxeFX II to AX8 for live workflow...

    Mine is on the way. I also have a used Kemper too. I will probably keep both as I can just about cover them both when I sell my Axe II XL+ and MFC MkIII.

    For those who have gone AxeFX II to AX8 for live workflow...

    Yep...I'm just waiting for my ticket to be called at this point. Right now on my Axe II XL+, I've built it such that I have one patch per guitar that has 5 scenes underneath it which are the clean, med gain, hi gain, lead 1, and lead 2. It's a mix of 4 different amps within the patch. I did it...

    Another trick...High Pass / Low Pass

    The challenge in all of this is that there are a million and 1 ways to get to the same place with FRFR EQing/. GEQ, PEQ, AMP hi/lo, cab hi/lo, global GEQ, the IRs, TMB, etc. My goal is to only cut or shape it once but that's not where I land. What I do is use the OH suggested IR positions with...

    Only $150? Wow...if it keeps a connection, that's not much to do an occasional wireless gig.

    Line 6 G10

    If the G10 is based on the G70/75 tech, I wouldn't personally buy it. The G70 was awful in terms of being susceptible to interference. Maybe I had a bad unit, but the internet seems to say a lot of people have had issues with the G70 maintaining a connection. The G50/G90 stuff (one generation...

    Right on. Thank you. Looks like 2-3 weeks at present.

    Suggestions: Humbucker Cleans?

    I think you nailed it...single coil clean tones are probably not there unless you could split the humbuckers, or, you'd have to go real low wind...lower than you have on the stock PRS pickups.

    For those who have gone AxeFX II to AX8 for live workflow...

    Thanks for this. I think I'd find myself in the same boat as I'm so used to the Fractal workflow. I really like the sound too and the support. I think I'm going to hold out until my number is called.

    For those who have gone AxeFX II to AX8 for live workflow...

    Any feel for the waitlist turnaround time right now? I saw someone offering one on TGP but they wanted $1550 for it. I don't "have" to have one so I don't want to overpay.
