Hi, firs of all I love the axe, I've wait like 10 years before buying one and know I'm a happy owner for 6 months.
Now I'm in a blues/rock band and these are the problem I'm having:
- We practice in a room with combo amps only (vox ac-30/fender blues etc.) so no amp return nor separated cabinet to use. So my only option is to use amp input (a waste in my opinion). I tried to go direct to the mixer with the vocals, it sounds good but the other guitar is more present, my tone is maybe too much refined and doesn't cut well in the mix (imho). With other bands I could use an external cabinet (with a solid state power amp) and it sounded killer!
- We are playing live in some avenues where there is literally no space to have the axe and the controller on the floor, or where I can't use my cab but I have to stick with the dreaded combo amp...
I've setup a patch with pre-fx only to use in front of the amp (I would hate to use it like that). At this point I'm afraid I need to buy a couple of pedals and use guitar volume for solo/clean... leaving the mighty axe to take dust at home... do you have any ideas?
