Hi guys,
I've been looking at the CAE 3+SE recently after seeing a some great videos on youtube of Kiko Cibrian playing for Luis Miguel.
Check from about 3:00 (Yes it's cheese central)
I figure if I'm going to a pre+power amp setup anyway I should look at all the options. I mainly do pop sessions, Top 40 type artists so I need the usual sounds - Fender Clean, Marshall Crunch, Lead with delay etc. Nothing too crazy. Think Jessie J, Cee Lo, Usher vibe.
Even though I'm always on in-ears I need to be able to pull them out if I'm not feeling the mix so I'll definitely be running with a power amp and cab.
My main sticking point right now is I can't really find anyone using the AXE FX live for pop music. There's loads of amazing players - Rick Graham, Tom Quayle who use them for recording at home but none in my particular scene.
Perhaps (probably) it's overkill?
I guess what I want to know is can I use it as a drop in replacement for a regular preamp? That'll be a good way to start with it for me. Will it perform pretty similar or will I have to spend hours tweaking it any time I make a change?
Thanks
