I am a singer/songwriter. I practiced with an amp before the Axe II arrived and I could hear myself sing. Now as I am using Sennheiser HD 650s out of the Axe II to practice I can't hear myself sing anymore. I was going to get some Atomics but they are very pricey. I realized today, maybe the solution is a small mixer and a head mic. I don't want to have to sing into a mic on a stand. Any suggestions? Any other singer/songwriters using the Axe II? And last, is there a looper on the Axe II? If no, what's recommended?
