For weeks now I've been running my axe-fx right into the front end of an old musicman hd-130 tube head pushing an ear-candy buzzbomb 2x12 cabinet, power amp and cab sims turned off. I think I've settled on this as my set-up. Tone settings on the amp are bass 2, mid 9, treble 2. Master all the way up on 10 and channel volume to taste so I'm not getting any distortion from the amps pre-amp, just a lot of head-room from the power amp section. I'm finding this to be quite the nice rig. I like that I can adjust the tone settings on the fly with the amp knobs if I need to depending on the room or situation. I could also live with the axe-fx feeding the loop return of my mesa mark III but that amp is friggin heavy. The musicman is a great amp, always was.
I don't know, I've tried frfr and for me it's just way too much to tweak. Too much difference from patch to patch, quickly found out not for me. Art sla-2 setup sounded like crap for me also. I like tube power amps for sure. Don't think you need a rack mount or dedicated one either.
