Well, it's been 2 weeks since I got the Axe Fx Ultra and this unit keeps getting more amazing, the more I use it. I decided to finally sell my Mesa Roadster, I'll probably still keep my Budda Super drive II 45 just as a back up and also because I don't think the Axe Fx can not emulate it since it has KT 66 tubes. I'll also keep my Vox AC 15 Heritage just because is a cool looking amp an it has the EP86 tube. I just joined a band for the first time since 1998 because I had to quit do to severe pain and left wrist issues.which thanks to major surgery I'm back to playing with more than 75 % recovery(and with the help of low action & super tall frets!) We are playing songs from Queen, Boston, AC/DC, Weezer, Journey, Tom Petty, Van Halen and also some current stuff and I've been able to nail all the sounds from those bands. I'm using a 64 Strat with EMG, 57 Reissue w/ a Warmoth neck and Kinman single coil pickups,Les Paul w/EMG 81 pick ups and a Jackson(unknown) protype w/ Gibson classic 59 pickups then I go thru a GCX system with a bunch of pedals(Radial tone Bone,Fulltone GT 500, MXR 10 band eq etc) a Line 6 M13 mainly for Looping throught the FX loop. I plug the Axe Fx into a B&K ST140 power amp(which I probably replace since is to delicate to take out) through 2 Mesa 4 x 12 cab. One of the things that amazes me about the Ax FX is how bright it sounds, I had to boost the high freq with an eq in front of my amps, exept for the AC 15 to get the the brightness that I like. I still need to experiment with the cab simulation and I'll post more so you guys can check it out. I also most say that this forum is filled with the nicest and most helpful people than any other forum I ever belonged too! Keep it up!!!!! Please excuse my grammar, Spanish is my main language!
