Hi there. Ive been playing guitar for almost 30 years. I have gone through dozens of amp set ups... Everything from line 6 to Bogner. I'm currently using a 5150 III. I like it a lot but my wife and I are expecting twins(already have a 2 year old) in a few months
I've been thinking of getting an axe fx to play through my powered rockit 8 studio monitors and through headphones when the babies are sleeping.
That being said, I'm a total newb when it comes to the axe fx. I'm not much of a tweaker... I actually don't like to tweak at all. I just like to plug and play. That doesn't mean that I'm not capable of tweaking anything. I can actually tweak just fine but I'm looking to just plug and play.
Does the axe fx have great presets to work with? Ideally, I'm looking for a great clean sound a.k.a. John Mayer, Clapton or Hendrix.
As far as dirty tones, I'm looking for a great lead tone. I love the tone of guys like Steve Vai, satch and Petrucci.
My biggest concern is losing to Banfield. I played other modlers before and while I dig the tones from some, they sound cold and lifeless.
How does the axe fx compare in regards to feel and response to a tube amp?
Sorry, I know these are total newbie questions, but everyone has to start somewhere right?
Thanks in advance
