Ok so i have been lurking for a long time reading all of the posts regarding the AXE-FX, I am not new to the AXE I tweak my friends settings all the time for their band but I don't own one yet (but I will very shortly).
Quick background on me, I currently use a Mesa Boogie Mark IV rack mounted with a TC G-Major 2 and 2 EVM12L loaded Mesa Thiele cabs. I have been using tube amps for years religiously, but I am not new to Modeling or rack gear and I am very tech savvy. I play in an all original hard rock band. I am looking for lightweight, portable, great sounding gear. I Do play LIVE, small to med size clubs, I also do recording and am looking to start recording other bands in the future.
I will be getting an AXE-FX Ultra from a friend at a great price (im sure ill move to the AX II but im starting with the Ultra for now).
So Here Is My REAL Questions
A) should I just get a tube power amp? (maybe the new VHT that is coming out) Mesa Fifty Fifty (not really light weight) and use my EVM loaded cabs?
B) Get the Matrix Solid state power amp (seems very appealing small size and great reviews) and use my EVM loaded cabs?
C) Get a Powered PA Speaker monitor like a QSC K12 and ditch my guitar cabs?
All opinions welcome! Thanks
