Is AXE FX II still good in 2023?

I am debating selling my axe fx 2 I got in 2016 as I don't play live and prefer to use neural dsp plugins for the studio. My only concern is I'm not sure if there is another interface I could buy that would give me the same DI quality/Low latency that the axe fx does. Should I maybe keep the axe...

First time with the FM3 in the studio

My cousin asked me a few weeks ago to record some guitar tracks for a couple songs he's working on. I knew I wanted to use the FM3, but wasn't sure on how we were going to capture the sounds. We had a rehearsal and I played through the FX loop of a 5150 and a Marshall cab and while it sounded...

Chair, yes chair

I need a good quality chair for sitting on for extended periods of time for practicing guitar. Recently I have developed some minor pain in the back of my leg due to what I believe was a cheep chair. Probably nerve pain. I think it will have to be without arm rests. I also think it is going to...

What's the best way to set up my AX8 for recording?

I'm trying to experiment a new way to setup my rig for recording. The way I have it setup now is PRS -> AX-8 -> Stereo XLR Out to Roland Studio Capture. I own a Quilter Toneblock 200W Head that I love using live and want to incorporate in my recording. What are my options here and what would be...

Can an AX8 be used as a Foot Controller for an Axe-FX II Mark II for Studio?

I want the Ax-8 for a live lean setup, but I also have an Axe II in my studio. Do I need a foot controller and an Ax-8 separately? Or could the Ax-8 double as a foot controller in the studio.

Mesa Studio Preamp

Picked up one of these recently. Recording outs sound excellent straight into my interface, main outs into my xl+ sound even better. Very cool units. Nice tonal variety with the axe FX.

Your AX8 home studio

I'm looking for inspiration on my home studio setup. Do you guys have the AX8 on the floor or on the desk? Or somewhere else? I know it's a question of work flow but for me it's maybe more about the aesthetics. I mostly operate it through axe edit so it doesn't really matter in that sense...
