I have been squirreling funds away for a year now and I'm just a few hundred dollars away from ordering a new Ultra.
I have been looking at this forum for the entire time I have been saving for the Axe and I am very pleased with the community atmosphere between all of the users and even those closely involved with the product.
I am currently using a Digitech GSP1101 with a Control 2, a VHT 2:90:2 Power amp and a Bogner 412 cabinet modded to be stereo. I plan pon updating the 1101 to C48 (or 49, since I've heard whispers of such a thing over on the digitech forum) to use the 1101 and Control 2 to control the Axe. I read that this is possible via MIDI and plan on doing this until the MFC101 is released and I can save the funds to get one of those. That ought to be fun as it will be my first foray into MIDI anything. I've had the Digitech for about two years now. Before that, I was 100% amp and pedals.
I plan on easing into the Axe, using it with the VHT at first and micing, then running a direct line with the cabinet as a monitor, and eventually going completely FRFR. (I'm getting older and hauling around the 412 is getting a little old, although I love the response and feel of a 412).
I've skimmed through the wiki, and there are some people in my town that own the Axe and I've had the opportunity to try theirs out. I am very excited. However, I'm posting to see if any of you Axe vets can provide me with any information that you wished someone had told you at the outset, and possibly any additional items that make life with an Axe easier.
I look forward to communicating with all of you. I'm chomping at the bit to place the order. So close, yet so far ehh?
Thanks,
David.
