I might get a little flak for posting this here, but I should say that this isn't meant to be negative at all. I'm still very much on board with you guys.
This is all in light of the fact that I have a gig coming up in less than a month.
After selling my standard over a week ago, and not knowing any real concrete details about the axe-fx II's availability...I have decided that I can't afford to wait for the II to drop right now.
I faced two choices yesterday. 1. Buy back a standard. or 2. *dread* find another option.
I've decided I need to go back to my roots for a while. I've had over 2 years with the axe-fx now and it's been a GREAT 2 years. And I fully intend to get a II in the future. But right now, I feel like going back to basics is what I need. At least for a while.
So I bought my dream amp. A Tophat Supreme 16. I'll be using it with a rather modest pedalboard. No rack effects. Just guitar>pedals>amp.
No worries cliff. You are still my hero. And I will be buying a II eventually. But right now I can't keep playing the waiting game. If it comes out tomorrow...well so be it. No regrets.
Good luck to the guys in the same boat as me who are still holding out. I'm sure it's gonna be worth it. No sarcasm there either.
