    Best power amp for Axe Fx Ultra to use with a 4x12 cab

    I used an ART sla2 with a carvin 412 and had great success with it. Some say It doesnt sound quite as good as a matrix sstate amp but its loud as hell and never failed me. and about half the cost or less. Its a class A/B amp which is what everyone always said is the better type. I also have...

    What made you decide to go Axe FX?

    I had quit playing guitar for almost 10 years and i was getting the itch to play again for fun and i bought back my old ibanez from my brother in law.

    FRFR sounds terrible to my ears compared to poweramp/cab. What am I doing wrong?

    I used 2 stock cab ir's and blended them. One was an ultra quality and the other a high quality one and i had one with a tiny bit of delay on it like Cliff mentioned in one of his posts a while back and it sounds really good to me. I have my axe running to a 412 and and a powered monitor and...

    Running two Axe FXs on one poweramp

    I was wondering the same, I have an axe fx2 and an ultra. I have a carvin 1540l and I was wondering if I could send a mono signal from each axefx to each channel and then send each channel to a 412. I didn't try it because I was afraid of damaging something.

    Axe fx ultra vs Axe fx 2

    I have both and I think you'll be happier saving for the II. The ultra is a great unit but the II sounds better and more realistic. The II is constantly getting firmware updates and new amps and also offers the tone match capability and the usb connectivity.
