So one of my current gigs is playing in the praise band at my church. It's been a long haul getting my tones dialed in but I'm getting closer all the time. Lately I've been using the Boutique 1 & 2 models. I use Boutique 2 as my main tone (X) with the drive at about 11:00-11:30 and the master at noon. I use the Boutique 1 only when I need to be really clean, maybe in 1 out of 4 songs on a normal Sunday.
Yesterday I did a no-no and rolled without a back-up midi cable, and of course mine didn't work, so through our 1st rehearsal I had to just roll with the Boutique 2 set as described above. What amazed me was that I was able to play every song with just volume knob and 3 way toggle adjustments on my 1960 Tribute LP w/BurstBuckers. During breakfast break I was able to run home and grab a cable and all was right with my world but it's awesome to know that if push came to shove I could do a whole set on 1 amp.
When I play P&W music, for me I see my role as all about setting a mood to help people to connect and I think it speaks volumes (pardon the pun) about the modeling integrity of the AF2 that it's so responsive to a guitars volume. Just another one of the reasons Fractal Audio makes it more fun to play guitar. THANKS CLIFF AND TEAM!!!
