So long...

[rtcook]

Bidding all a farewell. Sold off most of my equipment and going with a few select tube amps. It's been a nice ride.

Sitting in a room with a nice tube amp is the best way. I love my Axe and it comes close but sometimes I don't want all the bells and whistles and a nice guitar into one of my tube amps is so satisfying.

Bye Roger,

Best wishes and happy music making, whatever you use.

^^^ What he said

 

[Bug]

I went the other way and said so long to all my amps - but one.

 

[SteveD61]

Funny how we as guitarists fall in and out of love with our gear.....it's guitars that are like that for me.

I still have my amps and cabs along with 3 Fractal units, a couple of Digitech floor units (3 and 3000), so on, and so on, and so on.

I learned a long time ago to not sell off my gear. I'm not a collector, but I could have been with some of the stuff I sold in the past. Chalk a couple of them up to serious regrets.

You'll be back.

My favorite way is to use both real amps and the axe fx III.

 

[Fixated]

I guess I’m weird. The axe fx actually made me buy my first two tube amps and cabs and I’ll never get rid of them.

You play with your head directly in a mixer without any irs?
Reminds me a boss pedal in a mixer

I’m using the axe fx as an IR loader, mic pre and fx loop. I really like how it sounds and mixes. Here is a quick example of it in a mix:

The only thing on the guitars in post is a little side chain to kick for the low end.

You'll be back.

Someone posting so that we all know you are leaving?
That is the first sign they'll likely be back.

I didn't go to the tube vendor forums, fan or official, to say bye. I just left b/c I'm know never coming back.

Do what inspires you.

same makes me want to get a friedman and a mesa dual rec and some drive pedals

….For display (if i had the money lol)

(the axe is just too fast , amazing and convenient to use)

I walk into a music store, stare at a Bad Cat Jet Black and then think I could have a second MkII Turbo with a switcher to toggle back and forth. Then I'd spend hours...days...months categorizing Presets, Cabs, sounds to divide between the two and then 6 months later decide to re-do it.

Gonna need to edit your sig.

Best wishes and take care.

I have both. Best of two worlds. An Axe FX III and a nice 1968 Fender Twin Reissue with a bunch of pedals.

CODA

 

[jsingerkc]

Both worlds are amazing! At this point, I can't imagine doing a contemporary worship set without my FM9---switching amps and effects so smoothly. That being said, I spent last week at a blues workshop, where the whole time I went direct from Strat to cranked-up Deluxe Reverb, controlling everything with the guitar volume/tone. What a different feel and experience that was after being in the modelling world for a while.
