Hi!
Hopefully going the Axe II route. I play bass, guitar, and keys, and will likely want to use the Axe for those (and vocals maybe, lol).
I can be a bit sloppy at times, and with a digital unit, I am concerned about overs. What are you guys using (if anything) to prevent those stray spikes from ruining an otherwise great take? Pedal? I used to love the DBX 160XT I had, but since it is line level in, I would either need a DI in front of that, or place it as an insert with the Axe.. but that would put it after the ADC (I think?), and thus not provide the protection I am after.
For those that answer "pedal," which one(s) do you like most? Once "protected," I was planning to use one of the Axe compressors; favorites for bass? Any 160 series type(s)?
Thx!
