    My Cover of Gray Moore's "The Loner" - `59 SLP (Cliff Setting's) and cabIR.eu ir's

    Sounds bitchin. It would sound even more bitchin if you slowed down and played more to the beat and dug into those notes. RIP Gary Moore thanks for this recording :)

    Coming back!!!

    And wow the Axe Edit makes the Axe 2 so much fun to use. Never liked scrolling thru the menus on the unit by itself. Axe Edit makes it a joy and breaks it down to more graspable terms. I'm loving this thing!

    Coming back!!!

    Axe 2 Mark I incoming! Yes! It's been a couple years since I sold my Standard after a 3 year run. I still love my Kemper but it will be nice to have a Fractal monster again. :) To have both beasts is going to be awesome. In a room I just don't get the same amount of interest using a traditional...

    3 power amp choices for Axe Fx II. Help me!

    AXE FX II or POD HD500? That is the question.....

    I don't know about that. Pretty honest assessments of the HD 500. I have one and a Standard. I use my HD live with my band for it's all-in-one convenience and in a live mix it sounds great. But, when I sit in a room with it and my Standard c'mon it's just not going to stack up as well. If the HD...

    Cant make my mind up on a power amp for Axe FX II ? (SS or tube!)

    Would not recommend the Velocity stuff at all.........noisy........the thing pops at power up and power down.......just not any better actually not as good as the cheap Randall RP 2/200 that I still own........a good tube power amp like a VHT or an RT 2/50 will put the Velocity to shame......

    valve king poweramp?

    Depends on if you are content just using the axe-fx in mono. I like a stereo power amp for using two amps at once with opposite panning and a wider sound field utilizing the stereo enhancer. To me a regular mono amp just cannot sound like that at least in a room setting..

    Will you buy an Axe FX II?

    I definitely would like to buy one but probably at least 1-2 years down the road at this point. I've had my Standard this month 2 years ago and am still loving it.

    My Standard sounds awesome with the Randall RT 2/50!

    Surprised more people aren't using this power amp. It does weigh alot but man the tone is just stellar. It blows away the Mesa 2:90 I had for a while. I haven't tried the VHT power amps but I can't imagine them sounding much better than this. Again I know people are concerned about 1 space...

    All in one floorboard design

    All in one floorboard design

    I guess having to tweak the unit is one small issue. Having global controls to address that might help. I pre-tweak my patches at home to limit any issues at rehearsal.

    All in one floorboard design
