Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) by Big & Rich (Axe FX Ultra)

OK. I am NOT a country music guy. But, I thought that it would be fun to take a stab at this one. ("Save a Horse - Ride a Cowboy" by Big & Rich) I had fun with this one today. Please forgive the cheesy banjo and violin sounds, which I had to perform on a keyboard. The mix could also be...

This was unplanned and a result of me messing around today. Here's a quick demo I just threw together of Van Halen's "Somebody Get Me a Doctor". Disclaimer: I apologize up front for what I feel is a sloppy performance. I wasn't all that warmed up and the entire guitar track was done in one...

Has anyone tried RCF ART Series 312A Powered Speakers (for FRFR)?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried RCF ART Series 312A Powered Speakers (for FRFR Axe FX use). I realize that RCF products are far more popular in Europe than in the United States. If so, what do you think?
