I am still on the fence with regard to whether or not I am going to keep the Ax8. I did my second gig with it last night and it sounded pretty good. As I used to do with my old pedalboard, I ran it straight to the board and used in ears for monitoring. I think the key for me at this point is to find an IR that works for me. The one I am using now (055 — 4x12 PRE-ROLA 75 M160) sounded great at home but at the gigs I am looking for something with a less pronounced high end and for the over all tone to be fatter. If anyone has any recommendations for a similar sounding factory loaded cab that has more fatness to it that would be greatly appreciated.
