Hi everybody.
I had the opportunity to pick up a second hand tech21 power engine for cheap yesterday .
As it is like brand new and it was in my village, I decided to purchase it , even if I don't really need it.
Very nice built, looks great, not to big and heavy.
I am a bedroom player. I play at home with laptop + Axe FX and a pair XLR studio monitors 8" coaxial 80W (Fluid audio FX8) + backtracks . And that is perfect ! I use the axe FX II as soundcard .
But now that I have this Tech21 power engine, how should I hook it to the all system ?
I will not use it daily, but probably sometimes when I want to have some more "guitar in the room" feeling.
(with or without backtracks from the studio monitors).
I can also use the tech21 with some pedals I have to have a transportable small rig (tech21 liverpool, ...)
Just put 1/4 cable on the Axe FX II output 2 to the tech21 ?
Remove left XLR cable on output 1 and use output 1 XLR between Axe FX II and the tech21 power engine when I want to use it ?
May I let the studio monitors on the output 1 XLR AND at the same time use output 1 1/4" to the Tech21 ?
and then use them together and or only the tech21 ?? (the tech21 has a volume knob to match the volume of the monitors, which are plenty loud !)
...
I will of course give it a try, but someone here is maybe already a "specialist" of this AXE FX + power engine 60
Thanks in advance.
