The ampfest was a total blast
Some great gear there, the highlight definately being Aussie legend Dave Leslie ripping it up on a couple of full stack SLP`s linked together, geez that guy can play!!!
The AxeFx more than held it`s own thats for sure, i had a few guys come up after the show was all wound up and tell me they though it sounded better than or as good as the better tube amps in the room. I only really demo`d the Plexi and Vox patches, as i really spent a lot of time dialing those 2 in to sound as good as possible.
It`s tough for me to be totally objective as i wanted the AxeFx to sound good, but if i`m able to stay impartial for a minute i`d say it sounds as good as any great tube amp. With the option of fine tuning it to do things that some great tube amps cant do.
