Guys,
I know this has been talked about a lot so please bear with me. I currently own an Axe II and have it connected in stereo to a Marshall 20/20 rack amp into two Marshall 1960’s loaded with V30’s. The tone I get is really good, but limited. I’m still having trouble getting my tone to be the same as it was from my Ultra settings, but I’m working on it.
I am a at home player only. I know the first thing you think is two 4x12’s at home? Well, I like it loud and like the stack feel. I am wanting to try and go FRFR so I can get better Fender sounds using the cab sims and use the SVT amp in the Axe II to play my bass. I’d really like to utilize all the features of the Axe and get rid of a lot of equipment. But, I do not want to loose the “in the room” feel you guys say will go away with a FRFR setup. That still confuses me why this will happen. I am currently looking at the following FRFR cabs:
QSC K12 and K15
Mackie HD1221 and 1531
EV ELX112P and ELX115P
Will a pair of any of these (or any other) still give me the “in the room” feel I get from two 4x12’s just based on their wattage? Seems as though they should be able to push some air. Again, I will just be using these at home. They are not going to be used live. I don’t play in a band.
Will losing the Marshall tube amp make a big difference or will the Axe amp sim be the same?
I went to my local Guitar Center and Sam Ash, but the only one I could demo was the QSC K12. And it was hard to say how it compared when I had nothing else on that level to compare it to.
Cost does not matter to me. I just want to try and get the best of both worlds.
Suggestions/comments please.
Thanks,
Roger
