Please consider all my AxeFx concerns here:
Hi y'all! ok guys here's my case. I've been your typical amp and pedal board guy for years and I'm thinking about ditching all that mess and grabbing an axe fx rig. I'm tired of having to mark pedal settings and worrying about bumping knobs and throwing my tone out of whack or twisting knobs when I want to play a different style of music, not to mention all them damn power adapters and patch cables shorting out constantly!
So, my current rig is a fender HRD3 tube amp and a couple OD's a couple Fuzz boxes and an awesome Radial Tonebone tube OD (ugh,which hums super loud after 20 min of playing!)
First concern: if I get an Axe2 with a good sounding cab, do I need to also buy a power amp to power the cab too? If I can't get a cab right away can and how do I run the axe with my fender combo amp?
Second: How do these axe fx firmware updates work? Is it a pain to do so and how will I know when I can do the updates?
Third: what exactly is Axe-edit and what is the benefit of it exactly?? Is it a necessity?
Fourth: PLEASE, someone teach me this Fractal terminology that I read about as I do my research. See below
FRFR
IR's
Presets/patches (same thing I assume?)
Scenes
X/Y switching
Blocks
If anyone took the time to read all that I'm very thankful for your knowledge and help. I'm just trying to get with times I guess that's all take care!
