Fractal Fanatic
Nothing more dissatisfying to me than seeing a cover band where the guitar tone/sound is the same sound for every song/lead. Fortunate Son with the same sound as Symphony of Destruction? LOL how about Pink Floyd and then Five Finger Death Punch? ZZ Top and then Disturbed? Why have an Axe FX if you're not going to use it to it's full potential?
I spend the Time, with 384 pre-sets available, having a tone match and effects layout for each song is one of the main reasons I bought this thing and my Marshall stacks and old rack is sitting there collecting dust......, and with 8 scenes per pre-set, it's perfect as it's quite rare to need more than 8 different settings within a song.
Also we recently started contracting production, with a guy that runs our board, lights, fog, and effects all night semi choreographed to provide a show for a fraction of our pay, he's officially part of our band now.... We don't just play, we perform and put on a show. Other bands that just set up their gear and play, no sound, no lights, and just stand there, get paid 1/3rd what we get, and I believe it's because of all the extra's including spending the time to reproduce the famous sounds of the bands we are covering.
And Yes I like getting compliments, even from mullet headed bar drunks, another reason I bought into Fractal Audio.
On the other hand, you could be playing all one style and only require one sound, however, this is not me.
