    Anyone using Solodallas IRs?

    I have the G12-65 IRs from Solodallas. They didn't do much for me even though I love the speaker in real life. They're a lot of dough for only a few IRs. York or Ownhammer is a better way to spend your money IMO.

    My First Axe-Fx Weekend! Can't believe it's finally happening! (formerly 'Ordered today...')

    Judas Priest 80's era.

    I never said that master volume Marshalls weren't around. Watch the live videos of Judas Priest on the Screaming For Vengeance tour. They were four holers. That was three or four years after British Steel. They eventually used 2203s but it was later around the Defenders era. They also moved to...

    You may find that after you try the FM9 through a power amp into a guitar cab, that you no longer will want or need to go 4CM. I personally find it most satisfying to play through guitar speakers over FRFR or monitors.

    X-Load LB-2

    / Once you try this method and then A/B it with the Marshall selections available in the AxeIII, I predict that you will park the tube amp and it will collect dust. It's unnecessary at this point for this type of usage. Save it for the live 4x12 experience.

    Apparently they fixed the hiss that people complained about in the V1. Don't know what the V1s sounded like but the V2s are great to my ears. I kicked my JBLs to the curb after A-B'ng them. They have a lot of low end too. No need for a subwoofer in my opinion.

    Question About Speaker Load in 4CM

    JCM800 2203x halfstack vs AXE FIII w/poweramp and cab

    JCM800 2203x halfstack vs AXE FIII w/poweramp and cab

    Yeah, the other aspect is that the real amp can get you playing and practicing more when you only have 5 knobs to fiddle with.

If you're talking about mic'ing up a cab and recording the half stack, then the Axe can compete. Otherwise, you won't be able to scratch that itch of the visceral punch of the amp in...
