Hello,
Sorry for lengthy post . my history with modelers started 2 years ago when I purchased AX8 . While it is nice piece of equipment, I never really bond with it. I was using it occasionally in front of the amp for effects only. I play mainly modern country tele stuff and John Mayer/ SRV clean. My main rig is Suhr Bella Reverb and 64 Custom Delude reverb. I tried using AX8 for complete tone but it was lacking feel and tone mainly probably for lack of my skills setting it up and using HS8 monitor.
Fast forward to last week when I pulled the trigger on AXE FX III . it really surprised me how great and lively it sounds. Really easy to control from the front ( very Intuitive) , but mainly tone of the amps and drive blocks is amazing. I grabbed line 6 powercab from Guitar Center and been using it for a week. This brings me to my main question. Line 6 powercab sound good but pretty narrow or boxy for lack of the better term. I read many posts on frfr speakers and honestly it’s just confused me even more. Some saying Mission Gemini is way to go for the amp/cab in room feel , while others are saying it’s not good and overpriced. I heard that CLR is amazing but sounds PA ish and Hi FI. What you guys would recommend for best frfr for clean fenderish tones which would give best traditional cab in the room feel. While I am amazed how good and authentic axe 3 but I really wanted to figure out speaker solution which would fit my needs.
