i want to know if you can run the axe directly to a nice pair of studio monitors, without a mixer and what not?

does it sound ok if this is possible?
 
If the studio monitors are powered, the answer is yes.

But if they are not powered (i.e. passive monitors), then no. The Axe-FX does not have any power amps, and needs to feed to either a power amp or some powered speakers.

And yes, it sounds great when you feed it to powered studio monitors.
 
thanks guys, i figured they had to be powered, one last question do the monitors have to have xlr inputs becuase some monitors don't have these
 
nope.. you can go out the unbalanced 1/4's on "output 1" too,
or use 1/4 to RCA, etc
Depends on monitor interface.
 
{ glances over at my home / practice rig - Ultra straight into KRK VXT-6's }

Yeah, I'd say the AxeFx straight into (powered) studio monitors works well enough.

It's actually one of the best ways to set-up your rig.
Now if I could only find monitors that will stand up to being hauled around.

cheers,
