Greetings
My intention here is not to stir the pot between modelers however some of my questions I really cannot answer without direct questions to people in the know.
I am a hobbyist and love to play guitar, not a pro but have a decent set of ears .
My passion is blues, I basically love old tweeds, blackface amps, Dumble's etc etc., Also I absolutely love the patch Tyler Grund Made that has the Texas thing going on. Brilliant!
Here is where my questions start and I do not know how to not cause friction. I am seriously looking for information.
I have watched literally just about every AxeFx and K youtube videos out there. I've listened to Soundcloud and SoundClick, Ive found clips here and there.
Is the AxeFx better at rock and metal?
A huge observation to me is this, MY EARS The Axefx HAS the note definition in spades. it has texture, BUT it just sounds thin to me especially for blues, maybe I'm crazy but I watch Leon's and Marcos, Brett and others vid's and yes I love the definition, what I find missing is the depth. Why does another device sound better to me? Subjective? is it just me
Is the AxeFx more designed as a Metal machine?
Dumble's have a cutting edge on the Axefx which is great, Reminds me of Eric Clapton with a 335 but where is the depth and beautiful round deep tones.
The Fender stuff again is missing depth and also that round note definition that makes it special. AGAIN this is my ears. Can it do a great BB KING Tone?
Is it a matter of eq and adding more bass? I read it can take a bit to dial in a sound at times. Is it capable?
K has a full up front sound, to me its really noticeable, night and day. If you hear the same modeled amp in youtube video's and compare its very noticeable to me.
The Axefx , It has so many features, its already a great interface and the FX and editor, I just feel to me the tones are the most important thing and I'm not willing to settle. However I really think the Axe is the better choice package wise, I'm scared to spend 2k for something that may not suit me. Im looking to find advice and answers/opinions.
If this post causes too much of a stir just delete it. not my intention, I do not live in a city and its not possible for me to get hands on a Axe Fx.
