I got to talk to Jason for about 5 minutes last night after sound check about the his Axe. He was using two JBL's on stage and the other out was to FOH. I asked him what models he was using, and he tried to remember for a bit and after twisting his face trying to remember he finally said, "you know, I really don't know what they are called I guess. I'm still pretty new to this thing, and I'm a one knob guy". I asked if he was using stock IR's or IR's he made in his studio of his old cabs, and he said it was stock. He had not updated to FW10 yet.
He then told me he had just got the MFC and laughed about how he kept changing banks when he meant to change patches. I told him about AxeChange (he was unfamiliar with it) and asked if he would consider uploading his rhythm and lead patch. He said "sure, I have no problem sharing my tones", though my guess is he won't remember. His sound was great, and his clean chorusy sounds were unreal.
One of my favorite players and he turned out to be a really nice affable guy who was happy to spend time talking gear and hockey. Too bad they will be always be dismissed as something they weren't all because of one song.
