Despite having used the Axe-FX for the last two years or so, I'm only just getting around to sorting out my previous rig - I know, terrible... It's all still in the pedalboard and rack case that I used. TC Electronic G-System with multiple pedals, split between the rack case and the pedalboard.
I've just had to shift it to break it all down and prep it for a mammoth eBay session that I'll be having next week and I really have no idea how I managed to lug this lot around (plus amp!) week in, week out for the best part of four years. It's all so bloody heavy!
I still move around the same number of components, but each one weighs so much less than its counterpart. I reckon it's somewhere between 30%-50% of the weight of my previous "traditional" setup.
Amongst all the glowing reviews of how the Axe-FX sounds, and quite right too, let's take a moment to recognise how convenient it all is. Whether it's racked up in a studio, or part of a gigging/touring rig, the Axe-FX, and associated "stuff", has completely revolutionised the practicalities of making music and certainly saved my poor back and shoulders from early retirement.
I love it!
