hi all
here we are, juste ordered my AF2 to G66.
This is the end of my purchase process after spending about 2 months across this great forum, utube, etc.
I'm a tube guy, " home studio meat & potatoes hardrocker" if it makes sense !... but who love tweaking gears ...:lol
The reasons for my choice are:
1 - the awesome box the AF2 is, specially with FW10, with great amps, effects and the ability to tweak for years... and I heard AF2 patches sound i am after for years, that my Diezel Einstein head can't deliver, as good as it is, but just not all the sounds i would like...
2 - the Fractal team with its wonderfull dynamic to make the AF2 evolve so much, reaching our player requirements => a real customer-oriented company
3 - the very active community of this great forum and all the people (chris, scott, LVC, Yek, fremen, etc. just to name a few, but many others ! :encouragement that provide me a huge amount of information, initiating my "AF2 learing curve" through their very accurate and smart posts or wiki contributions
So now i wait for the box to be delivered at home (next week) and I just have to choose the right amplification way. To start I'll use my Prodipe near field studio monitors (a pair of Pro8 and Pro10s Sub) and test the power section of my Einstein with AF2 (amp sim on / cab sim off) and my large 2*12 guitar cab (Tube Town T Rex Pro with Eminence Gov and Wizard). Hope not to colouring the AF2: to be checked.
My ideas is to move to full FRFR directly connected to the AF2 to exploit the best of it, of course.
- the matrix way GT1000 + Q12 is a bit expensive
- 2 dedicated monitors right in the back of AF2: though about equator D5
- a FRFR speaker like Yamaha DXR 12 or the new EV ZLX 12... to test, don't know... 1 or 2 ? would like to try one at least.
well , nothing else than very good thinks and a lot of pleasure time, in my home studio !
see you to exchange on the forum...:mrgreen
