Last night we held the final full band dress rehearsal for our upcoming shows. I've only had my AxeFX rig for about a month, and this has been a very positive experience so far. Subsequent to the previous rehearsals, I've been tweaking tones and adding scenes to simplify getting around during the show. During last night's rehearsal, I received a number of spontaneous compliments from my bandmates about my tone and the clarity / depth of my guitar in the mix. Mind you, I've been using a Boogie Lonestar and a board full of boutique pedals to date. The AxeFX makes *that much* of an impression on the seasoned professional musicians in this band! We work with a multimedia production engineer as part our show, who handles video / lighting / environmental effects. Last night he was set up pretty close to my rig and asked "what is that new thing in your rack?". I showed it to him and explained the basic functions. He said it was the best guitar sound he'd ever heard, and that he couldn't believe it was all being done in that little two space unit.
Oh, and our lead vocalist was impressed by the MFC-101, ostensibly due to the blinky LEDs. See? The AxeFX setup has something for everyone
We're performing a number of shows in rapid succession and I'll be able to hook up the laptop to edit presets during soundchecks. I'm going to have to keep good mental notes of adjustments to make during the next opportunities. How do other users manage the process of making occasional adjustments on the road? I know it can be done via the front panel (and have forced myself to become familiar with it in case that is necessary) but it's obviously much easier via Axe-Edit.
...and so, the AxeFX adventure leaves space dock and engages the warp engines...
