Hi everyone
I am seriously considering replacing my beloved huge RoadkingII/4X12/Fridge of FX rack/theile Stereo cab setup... by an AxeFx. But i have a couple of questions first. Please note that i've tried to use the search engine in the FAQ but for some reason it doesn't return any result no matter how i try to use it.
I've work most of my carreer as a sound engineer, i've always been a sound geek. When the Roland GP8 got out in the late '80 i tought that i've found what i was looking for, hum! Since then i am in an everlasting quest for Tone/Feel/total recall/and ease of use. The later is a big issue for me, i've got my share of fiddling in endless menus, and my rig as it it now is quitecomplex and is only going to get bigger. For some reasons i don't seem to be able to have all the attribute mentioned above at he same time, there is always one ( or 2) missing. I can live with 3-4 basic amp sounds ( that's the RK) which i never touch but the effects is another story, i mean i need to take notes and have a plan to remember how everyting works... it's ridiculous, total flow killer.
Here's some more or less esoteric questions*:
From what i read everywhere i understand it sounds incredible, i get it, ok( eventhough i never used it) but the big question mark for me is*: how does it feel? I mean the way the «*amp*» react to your playing, do the axe fx have that liquid easy to play feel ? You know that bouncy elastic feel on a semi clean channel...Please be honnest. Again, i am not talking about the sound. If you don't have a clue what i'm talking about it's ok, just don't answer the question, but if you do, any thoughts?
Anyone here with an Axe FXII got to the point where you've run out of processing power and have to «*scale down*» something because of this limitation? ( On a realistic usable setup that is)
Is there any audible differences between Hi and low Res? Or is it just a difference mesurable with analysis tools?
There is one jack for an expression controller on the back of the unit. If anyone is using an MFC with the AxeFX does that makes the total number expression controller to 5? ( 4 on the MFC , 1 on the Axe FX)
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for your answers
