Ok, here I am. Been a long ‘on’ and ‘off’ again decision to replace my 16ru rig (full off goodies) to something more versatile, lighter, transportable and reliable being the Axe.
Primarily I rely on a fair bit of versatility as far as sound and options go. I am session guitarist and the demands that studio recording and live work goes on able to adapt to who I am working with is important.
Over the years I have built up some great equipment (which is all good) but carting around racks (currently 16ru) and all the annoyance that can bring if a cable goes bad or alike can be at times more than frustrating.
Live work I strip down and have a basic pedal board etc and leave the rack gear for studio etc. Anyhow, the Axe FX could be my answer.
I have been reading through the manual, you tube, and everything else on the Axe FX.
I am excited on the idea of it and just in deliberation mode on what configuration would best suit.
So I thought id put it out there and ask some of you experts on what works best.
First option was: the 4 cable method configured by the RJM- RG-16 looper using Suhr Badger 30 as amp and say 4 of my fave OD pedals (Klon, Timmy, Zen and Landgraff) feedling into two – 2x12 Suhr Cabs.
- Curious to know how the Axe FX would handle such setup
Second option was: going for just the AxeFX and a nice power amp of some type feeding into two – 2x12 Suhr Cabs.
I understand that there are many options with this unit – I love to have the luxury on ‘Live’ work to be able to send a single to FOH too.
It would be great to get some thoughts on this and personal experiences to how you run/configure you’re AxeFX.
