Having just lost my axe-fx virginity (received my ultra yesterday), i have been going through all the presets, reading the manual and having a general play around to try and get familiar with this kit.
Im at the stage of messing about tweaking some of the presets and i notice there is an option between active or passive tone controls.
Now, I know it really doesnt matter and in the end im just tweaking by ear to achieve a sound im after but Im interested to find out which type of control fellow owners use. I can see both advantages and disadvantages of both methods, whether you want old school true interaction like the actual amps or the ability to see exactly how much boost of a certain frequency you have, but what do you use and which do you find the most pratical?
