So, I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger, but I wanted to get some opinions/suggestions before I empty my pockets... and I do mean empty. I've been doing a lot of reading on these forums and other online resources trying to gauge the best way to dive into the AFX community. I guess I just need some general advice on what people are pairing the AFX with for live use and opinions on different gear options. So I'll break it down in sections:
1) I'm confident I'm going to buy in addition to the AFX, the MFC as well as the EV1 and the Mission EP1. Does anyone have suggestions for floorboards and dual TRS patch cables?
2) This is where I'm not so confident. I'm leaning towards just getting a 4U case and buying the Matrix GT1000FX-1U + NL212 Package and then using the fourth slot for a Furman M8x2, but I'm wondering if this is the best option. Is it worth getting a power conditioner and going with the combo deal (which is ultimately the cheapest), or should I drop the conditioner and go GT1000FX-2U (not saving on the combo). I'm also unsure entirely on if this is the best power amp/cab combo to go. I know Mission's Gemini is also an option.. and what about the FR212 or any other FRFR cabs? Should I drop the whole power amp/cab idea and just go the PA route? There's just so many options, I could use some guidance from people's experience with the different capabilities the AFX offers.
I know this is kinda all over the place but I'm pretty much noob as I don't even own the AFX yet and any help would be much appreciated.
