I loaded all the V11 presets today so that I could start fresh and get some order to my presets. Cleans 0-19 from vintage to modern, crunchy 20-39, high gain 40-60, rinse repeat, you know?
So I was all: "Okay. Bassman on 0. Sounds nice. Sounds really nice. Dial in some vintagey cabs from the new OH stuff. That brings a nice smile to meh face. Onto the next one!"
And then I'm like: "Oh well lookey here - a Vox 30W TB patch. I've liked that in the past - let's dial in some alnico stuff...."
Turn the amp on, load some cabs that I knew I liked, and I think my Axe-fx might have bricked up or something...
BECAUSE I COULD NOT LEAVE THAT PATCH! HOLY CRAP IN A BUCKET!
I mean, I "liked" the AC30, but I could never really get it to feel as punchy as I'd heard in various clips and from the music I'd heard featuring the amp. But now, sweet mother of pearl does that amp shine! Chime! Punch! SPUTTER! It's all there. Now I'm going to have to go learn some Brian May licks just so I feel like I'm worthy of the amp. If you haven't tried it yet, fire that puppy up and start playing, because your head is about to spin right off your neck.
Thanks (seriously though, thank you) for ruining my morning of productivity Cliff and Co. I have a feeling that there's a whole lot more "bricking" of my Axe-fx II in the near future.
