Hey all,
I had a final evening of tone searching with my 5150iii and have come to the conclusion that i'm finally going to make the jump to full digital modelling. I've used Bias' apps and jamup for the past few years and found myself using it more and more. The last six months ive only used the 5150 and cab on weekends. I am currently not in a band and not playing any shows. It's so much less practical, versatile and honestly...the Bias apps with my own EQ and compression blow away the 5150 haha. I've kind of been lying to myself for months but after a whole evening trying to really get the tone i'm searching for that I can get from the apps and not being able to get the 5150 to do it I've decided enough is enough.
My question is, how the heck does this thing work? Like... I see people do unboxing videos or "First start up" and the things already on a rack plugged in to something. That doesn't exactly help.
I'd be selling my amp and cab unless it's ideal to use the cab for output. I have a really nice Bose sound system I use for the Bias as a headphone output that can go WAY above any level id want or be legally allowed in my apartment.
Can I buy a Axe-Fx II and use a headphone output to plug it into the Bose speaker system?
Also, do you need to have the unit connected to a computer to download patches or does it do it's own thing.
I literally have NO idea how this thing works (incase you couldnt tell already from the ridiculous questions i'm probably asking). I have only ever played tube amps besides the Bias apps.
Anyways, I am only asking as I want to know everything I need before I sell my other gear.
TLDR/ literally explain how to use AxeFX ii as though I were a caveman.
