Newbie Question - Home-Equip

[Jazzdwarf]

Hi, i'm thinking about a Axe-FX Solution for my home.
I practice with drumcomputers and other little stuff like
eband for example.
My idea is to plug axe-fx into my pa-mixer (there is also my
cd-player and eband) and go from there simply to my
2 Monitor-speakers. Is this a pervert idea? or is the sound ok?

I don't want to place 4 seperate speakers (2 for axe-fx - guitarspeakers)
and 2 for my pa in my small practice-room and looking for a good
solution.

Any idea is really welcome.

For sure!

Since you would be going through a full frequency system weather it be, monitor speakers/PA, you can take full advantage of the Axe Fx cabinet and microphone sims.
Going through the same speakers with either your drum tracks or CD player you will find it sits nice in the mix same if you trying to figure out a song or even cop someone's tone.

Another way to skin the cat is to use the effects loop return if you are not already using it in your patch. I got the idea from someone here on the forum. You place the return block all the way to the right on the grid (on a separate line), then just plug whatever you want into the effects input in the back. Now you can control both volumes on the front. I have a "guitar tutor" cd player that loops and slows down songs, works great.
