Hi,
I've been reading this forum on and off for a while. I'm currently thinking long and hard wether to buy an Axe Fx and hopefully you will be able to guide me in my decision.
Here is where I am at. Typical valve amp blues / rock player with a simple set up of guitar > wah > tube screamer > OD> amp. I'm a big fan of fender tweeds, blackface and early Marshall amps and I play material from the three Kings, Peter Green to AC/DC and Slash. Nothing 'heavier'.
In March 18 I'm moving from my current home where I am able to play my Tweeds at early break up volumes with no complaints. However, where I'm moving to I wont have that luxury and I'm passing my amps onto my son who will gig them ;-)
If I do decide to gig again (unlikely) I'll just borrow my amps back. So I guess where I am heading is, will I be happy with the tones I can get from the Axe Fx given I'm a low gain / crunch guy?
I'm very fortunate that I have studio monitors (Genelecs) and a Mac, so setting up in my new home will be just the cost of the Axe Fx.
I have in my mind that I will run the Axe Fx and my interface and spend time jamming to backing tracks using the Axe Fx. How easy is it to playback backing tracks and jam using the Axe Fx.
I'm sure I will have lots more questions, but any thoughts guys would be appreciated.
