Hey all,
So I was carrying my axe-fx ii, which is screwed into a 4-space EWI anti-shock case alongside a solid-state power amp, and I dropped it about 4 feet. It seemed like a violent crash but, when I got home, the case seemed to have one scratch on it that wasn't very deep and everything sounded fine.
This made me realize a couple things but one thing I was wondering about is: how does the axe-fx…work? for example, in my very OCD mind, i started hearing things like "oh, this preset sounds more trebly now…it's not as distorted…oh i feel like the red clip light is coming on more often…is this preset noisier??" and all this other psychosomatic stuff. i knew it was most likely untrue but I'm so overprotective that my mind can get quite carried away.
So I'm wondering, if a connection got loose or something got unsoldered or something, would the problem be MUCH more apparent? or can stuff happen like a circuit gets loose and so the EQ in the axe-fx changes and there's noise added or less gain or treble throughout etc. etc.?
Just wondering, I know this sounds crazy but it was a big crash! thank god for the 'shock' protection i suppose though I wonder how shock-resistant the EWI cases really are?
Thank you!
