All,
I'm not a current Axe user, so I apologize if I'm not using the correct nomenclature. Here's my situation. I currently use a Headrush pedalboard. It's a very nice unit except for one glaring weakness, IMO. If I set up a "rig" with a Fender Twin and some pedals and set the amp volume to 7, it produces a certain output volume. If I then set up another rig, say a JCM 800, (with the same pedals and everything set the same), the output volume is much louder. This happens with many of the amp models. There is a way to balance the rigs' output levels, but it has to be done manually and it's a PITA. My question is whether the Fractal units suffer from the same deficiency. I've sold some gear and I'm open to selling my Headrush and getting an Ax8 - I don't want to buy a separate controller - but there's no point if the Ax8 suffers from the same problem as the Headrush.
TIA, and let me know if you need additional information.
Mike
