Limited tweaking ? Considering that the irs and an eq is 80% of the tone and you have millions of possibilities just with it ?
I don’t use the ultra advanced parameter of the axe, globally when I touch them, it destroyed the signal . When you buy an amp you are not changing the transistors and open it with a screwdriver to make it sound « better » , it sounds good by default or you bought the wrong amp.
The real point is that I read so much shit in products, guitars… from people that don’t try things by themselves … mini games make people reconsidering their opinion .
Then what ? I won’t sold my axe for this, the axe sound great and is a super product, and I will buy a 4 when it will be out.
It is just another tool with some content not included in the axe
And games are more entertaining than begging to cliff new features all day long or just show off no?
Totally agree on tools part or always having options im never against that.
for the advanced parameters it can destroy your signal or make it super good.
I am not referring to the ir and eq part of it. but the character of distortion that exists before it goes to the ir or post eq.
Stuff like
Transformer match is simple and very usable.
Negative Feedback
Stuff like triode plate frequencies in preamp causes noticable change in sound and not in a bad way
Saturation switch in preamp page ( this was actually done on real amps too by modding it for a more thick aggressive tone.
Speaker impedance can help simulate mismatch between the outputs and speakers.
Bias for preamp and power amps both
Hardness etc they are fairly simple to use.
Even for the ir's the speaker impedance curve page alone can do so much and clean the unwanted stuff out in a way post eq never can.
Forget all that even if you change the tone stack centre frequency of archon from 450hz to say 550 or 350 . you gonna notice a considerable change in how it sounds for a given set of bmt settings which can be good or bad.
Yes Tube amps are limited in what you can do with them just like plugins. but thats not the case with axe . axe is not as limited.
Thus all i am trying to say is concluding what is good or not good enough when comparing a/b with something like axe may not necessarily be right in all cases.
the axe just offers a lot more , it has a lot of stuff modelled in with default values that may vary in case of other modellers for xyz reasons.
) at stock settings, bluffed and gave mostly wrong answers.
). I owned 3 line 6 units,1 hx, one floor and one floor LT, 2 of 3 has been sent back . Hx freeze to death, out 2 in the helix dead after 2 months and 10 gigs …
