Thanks for all your kind welcomes. I was an early adaptor of the Axe II in the UK and I just didn't get the full capability of the Axe and I just didn't understand the technology.
So, what has convinced me is that I have a compact, lightweight rig that can go front of house, I can hook up to a FRFR wedge or a pair of studio monitors at home BUT above all its the tone matching - bloody amazing stuff.
Sorry no I'm not coming to the Fest today as I've got a game if rugby to play.
I will come along if there is a second event. Good luck with it!!
Union.
