Hi, all. Bought a second hand AXE-FX 2. UPS should be here with it tomorrow. While I'm waiting
I'd like to ask some questions after reading the manual.
Presently, my rig is as followows: amp head into speaker cab. I'm running the sound thru the effects
loop, which includes an effects pedal and a looper. Guitar is connected to front of amp. Everything runs fine
this way, and I had planned simply to switch out the effects pedal with the AXE-FX II. But after reading the
setup part of the manual, it seems if I use this configuration, according to page 23, I won't be able to include amps
or cab simulations in my presets. Am I right on that?
If so, then all I have is a glorified effects processor which is not what I want. I want to try out different cabs and amps; that's
why I bought the darn thing. I notice on page 22 that if I use the Direct to FOH plus real amps on stage, I seemingly can
use the amp and cab blocks in the presets. Is this true? I would need to buy a mixer and a FOH PA?
What I really want to do is just get the full use of the AXE-FX 2--using the amp and cab block features with my amp head and cabinet.
Thanks for any and all guidance.
