Unless Im feeling really lazy, I pretty much always bring a back up amp to gigs just incase my main rig goes down. Used to be my JVM410h backed up by a small 20watt head. Fortunately never needed the backup, but in many cases if the guitar amp goes down, show is over. I still bring the small head with me when gigging with the ax8, but it occured to me that an emergency switch over in case of ax8 failure would be really difficult. (Direct out of ax8 vs hooking up a head to a cab and micing the cab. Im thinking of picking up an atomic amplifier to be the back up to my ax8 since it seems that an emergency switch over would be more compatable. I realize it would be reduced functionality, but it would keep the gig going.
Anyone else bringing a backup to the ax8 for gigs? What are you using for backup?
My Ax8 has never failed, and I have no reason to believe it will....however murphy's law is a real thing and if one did have a failure it is game over if you don't have a backup.
