Got My Xitone Today

It’s in the studio, away from me at the moment. It’s oretty much the exact same size as a Mesa 2x12. It weighs a lot. Micks cabs are no joke, they are as heavy duty as it gets. Never been able to weigh it.

What cables do you use for your expression pedals?

The cheap Hosa cables are just fine. If your pedals are mounted on a board and stable you can use any cheap Ts/trs cables you can find. I would personally use higher end cables purely based on how much movement I put them through.

It's been an interesting run

For me, feel is EVERYTHING. if I feel the slightest bit of lag, a rubbery or 'sagging' feeling, I put that amp down. I have always been floored by how far Fractal has come in attaining a beautiful spectrum of sounds for me to use! I'm absolutely grateful. Then I plug into an old vintage...

Might be forced to try something new....

All that aside, put the axefx in the effects loop and you're golden!

So your church will insist that you use a certain amp? I have had gigs with seemingly strict sound parameters but never an insistence that I use a particular amplifier. Unless someone pays me really well I'm going to use what I want, as long as it's appropriate for the gig.

FRFR as a backline, does stereo setup make sense

Stereo setups are great and always improve my personal happiness by 100%. Yes, it's true that obtaining a perfect stereo effect in a club is nearly impossible but so what. There are quite literally hundreds of factors like refraction, crowd size, temperature, Windows/mirrors, time of year, etc...

CLR, XiTone et al., any quieter than the ASM-12 i.e; less "hiss"

For me it's a non factor. What my rig sounds like while I'm not playing has never been an issue, even when it was a reeeeeally big hiss... However I put a noise gate befor the amp at like 10% and it seems to kill any unwanted hiss while I drink beer on stage.

FINALLY!!!! A solution to the age old FRFR issue of....

Mick, your cabs are amazing. My Xitone and I are inseparable! Since my 212 purchase last year I've tried my AxefxII through several other cabs and FRFR setups and nothing beats my rig. I use it As my main acoustic setup as well as electric and it positively smokes! I've been able to get...

Got my Axe Fx.....but not impressed so far.

Yea, the bottom line is that the axefx hasn't truly been heard yet on your end. On one hand, the Cube.. Nope. On the other hand I kind of agree with your other statement. I tried a strat through the presets and everything sounded like a can of bees, even with really good frfr speakers. I am...

Show us your MFC setups! (post your pics)

I greatly prefer Ernie Ball vp jr pedals for everything. My feet are just used to them! There are so many modifiable parameters within the AxefxII it's unbelievable. I've never played an ultra but I'm assuming you can control tons of parameters... So that Mesa and Ultra together probably give...
