Hold on a second, my friend, not so fast
First of all, I wouldn't say the "
feel" discussion is all in the head, I am sure MANY would disagree with you on that.
Secondly, I never intended to claim AXE III sounds not tubey, on the contrary, as I am waiting for my FM3, I'd like to learn people's experience when they claim it does! I was hoping people who had such experience would chime in to
explain and articulate what the feel means subjectively for them. To that end, I have tried to explain what the feel means to myself personally a few times above in this thread
Thirdly, "uninformed and/or lazy user error"...
Lastly, in my mind, tone and feel though closely related, they could often be orthogonal. IMHO, tone is more about the sound and EQ characteristics, and both the player and listeners can reason about how the tone sounds, while the feel is often only directly perceivable by the player him/her-self.
In my experience, the feel mostly lies in the interaction between my finger and the
actual power amp response. But perhaps, I am missing other aspects of feel other folks are referring to, hence this thread.
Especially for folks who experience the
FEEL of AXE III have improved over the course, I'd love to hear you articulate what that means subjectively for you.
