Hi all, I'd love some expert advice on the following. I found bits and pieces via searching older posts, but thought it might help others as well to pull info together in one place.
Current Axe-FX II Setup
Axe-FX II + Mesa 2x12 cab + Matrix power amp
Situation
My guitar sanctuary is being replaced by a nursery. So...I'm temporarily getting rid of all my gear, cabs, amp heads, etc. and need to create the ultimate low-profile, lightweight rig solely using the Axe-FX II running into my Mac.
My use: pure hobbyist. Not looking for the absolute best tone and setup possible. Just need something that's quite good.
Here's What I'm Thinking

Here's What I'm Thinking
- Axe-FX II
- My Mac desktop
- No speakers or external monitors
- No power amp
- Quality headphones (e.g. Beyerdynamic DT-250 80 ohm) with my headphone amp
- Basic mixer for levels (e.g. Behringer MicroMIX MX 400 4 channel line)
- Am I missing something or would the above work for my intended purpose?
- Skype: I take Skype guitar lessons and want to ensure that I can hear my instructor's audio via headphones and ensure my instructor can hear my guitar --> Axe-FX II sound on his end. The key is that my setup must be totally silent -- i.e. can't be making audible noise given will have a sleeping baby.
