Hi guys,
I wanted to share my thoughts on the Axe-Fx 2 and why I personally use one. I'll try keep this short and to the point.
I started out as a Guitarist with a fairly traditional rig, my first valve amps were the Orange Dark Terror and then an EVH 5153. Both of which were amazing amps in their own right but there was always something missing. I still to this day don't know what was missing but with every valve rig I've played I never had that moment where I truly connected with a valve amp.
In 2015 I started studying Music at University and on the course I am expected to be able to play a wide variety of styles and to achieve an authentic tone while doing so. With this I decided to take the plunge and purchase the only rig I knew could give me any tone I desired and needed, the Axe-Fx 2.
I took a big risk buying the Axe-Fx, I sold my 5153 and all my pedals in order to fund it and I had never used or heard one in person before. But I'm so glad I did. Since purchasing the Axe-Fx I have become a much better player as I feel more inspired to play. Every time I plug in I get instant inspiration and songs have even been born because the Axe-Fx tones I've stumbled on.
After I finish my degree I hope to have a career as either a studio session player or doing Musical theatre work and with the Axe-Fx I know I am perfectly set-up to do either. I just need to work very hard over these next few years to achieve my goals.
The Axe-Fx is easily the best purchase I have ever made and I recommend it to anyone.
To answer the common question of "is it worth the money?", it's worth a hell of a lot more.
Cheers everyone, keep on rockin'!
