Hi there,
I don't have the opportunity to play an AXE FX because I don't know anyone who has one.
I like to play any kind of music, from blues to rock to metal....
Recently I play in a cover band. We play any kind of music. Now I was searching for a versatile combo or amp. I like combos and amps like Fender, Hook, Elmwood, Mesa .... But every amp has its strengths and weaknesses. I really like the Fender Twin Reverb. The best clean sound I've ever heard and with a good overdrive pedal an awesome crunch sound. But for more distorted sounds I like more the Elmwood amps. It's all a compromise.
Because of these reasons, I want to buy the Axe FX 2. I never played one and don't know how it feels. If I don't like it. I could sell it again.
The main reasons why I want the AXE FX are the videos of Pete Thorn. I like his pretty simple rig.
But I have a question before I buy one. I love playing guitar, but I'm not talented in creating good sounds. I have pretty good ears and know exactly what I like, but I don' think that I'm good in programming these sounds I hear. I don't really like the whole tweaking thing
Is it very complicated to program a good sound in the AXE FX 2??? Or is it good in plug an play?
If it is too difficult for me, can I buy some good patches from anyone who know what he is doing?
I have a G-System and it is too complicate for me to program good effects. Is this similar to the AXE FX? Then it would be frustrating for me.
Thanks!!!
