Contact Fractal for your Custom Title
Some weeks ago, I immensely enjoyed playing through an evening with just a Plexi model through a cab, nothing else.
Things started itching, and since that evening I've been toying with the idea of building a traditional rig again. I started imagining how my ideal rig would look, just for fun. Here’s what I’ve arrived at, on paper. A mono rig with lots of mini pedals. Basically based on my kitchen sink preset on my Axe-Fx III.
It will be of no interest to most of you here, but I’m enjoying this so-far virtual project. It somehow inspires, although it’ll probably not ever see the light of day. Why? Because my Fractal rig already does all this, and the bloody project would cost over 8k.
My shortlist is below. Let's hear your must-haves and thoughts behind it.
