Played my first gig ever with my Axe II a couple weeks ago. Coincidentally, it also happened to be my first ever gig with this Journey tribute band. So I guess you could say the pressure was on, both performance-wise and tone-wise.
In the past I had always used a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL combo at gigs, and I was wondering how my Axe would stack up against a real amp. Especially after watching the first band play that night. It was a Dokken tribute band and their guitar player was RIPPING with a Marshall DSL half stack. It NAILED Lynch's tone.
By the time we got up onstage to do a line check, I was pretty nervous about how the Fractal would sound following a beast of an amp like that. But after striking that first chord and hearing my guitar coming through the monitors as the soundman brought up my fader, all my nervousness was put to rest because it sounded incredible!
The audio on all the following videos is coming straight out of the soundman's board, and the guitar sounds are 100% Fractal! :encouragement:

P.S. After the show, the guitarist from the Dokken tribute band said this to me: "You seriously brought all my favorite Journey tunes to life. I'd love to learn to use a Fractal with settings like yours. The monster tone was incredible from that thing!"
