Hi all,
Long term AxeFx2 user and player, but rarely post...
I've been using my unit with my Yamaha HS50m monitors since receiving it, but things have never quite clicked (not for lack of trying!).
In short, the axe sounds great through my Matrix power amp and Orange 2x12 (cab sims off), and equally great through my beyerdynamic headphones (with cab sims).
I've gone through thousands of cab IRs, tried ever variation of settings between monitors and the axe, and even moved my room several times over to see if that was the issue.
I've come to the conclusion it's my monitors that are the issue and sucking the fun out recording/mixing...and maybe it's time for a change!
Interested to hear what people are using, what has/hasn't worked, and possibly some suggestions please.
I had KRK VXT8's previously, but never got to try the axe with them. However, I'm not looking to go crazy on price...so no boutique/cost more than my car recommendations please
PS - I realise tone is subjective.
Edit: if anyone is using Yamaha HS50Ms successfully with the axe, then I'm keen to hear how!
Thanks!
