I have been asking questions about foot controllers before buying the AXE3 and getting a lot of help.
Just wondered though if you can get away without out using any type of foot controller?
It may be a stupid question but I really do no know so I am asking.
With my tube amps I just dial in a tone and jam for a while. I play at home. Do not gig. Do not record except rythm into a looper to play lead over. I do not change sounds and add effects non stop while I am playing. Eventually down the road all that stuff but not till I understand the unit in depth and become a much better player. I am debating getting one unit with the best pedal and great monitors and extras vs getting two units with just good monitors and thats it. If I got two units it would be on different levels of my house where it would increase my time playing guitar and my son maybe using one also now with the idea too that I am planning to build a small home studio this spring/summer and would like to have two units for my son and I and for having people over jam.
1-Can you use and program the AXE3 manually with your fingers right on the unit enough to live without a foot controller?
2- If so is that method just too time consuming that you just have to have a foot controller for my type of use or do people use these units at home without a foot controller?
Thank you!
