Hey, all...and Happy New Year.
Full-time pediatric ER nurse, former lead vocalist and hobby guitarist here to learn all about my new toy (arriving 1/10/2023 according to Fractal). After years and years of faithful service, my 1980's Digitech GSP 2101 Studio Tube is starting to slowly die (intermitten volume drops, patches automatically switching from one to another). Factory support for this unit went away a LONG time ago, and I imagine it would cost more than its worth to repair, So I decided to get the AFX3.
Initially it will be used in the exact manner as the unit it's replacing...just jamming out in my man-cave. I will be running it with a power amp (yet to be selected) through a 2x12 cab (also yet to be selected, but leaning towards the EVH 5150III Stealth 60w). Im replacing everything, all the previous rack gear is being given away on Craigslist...perhaps someone with knowledge in electronics can bring it back to life.
I would eventually like to try my hand at recording with the Axe FX. I have ZERO experience with studio gear, and limited experience with electronics on general, so I'm sure I'll have a lot of really stupid questions with the hope that the experts here will be willing to walk me through this process.
Looking forward to learning much here.
