Hey so right now I'm constructing my dream guitar rig and currently I have a line 6 pod x3 pro rack unit as the effects unit/clean tone of the amp. (the amp is currently a 6505+ but I also have an engl powerball...still haven't decided on the final winner.)
All in all I'm pretty dissatisfied with line 6 tones. All in all they just sound kinda hollow and weak. I initially thought their clean tones were good, but after being blown away by a cheap peavey transtube fx amp I just recorded....I decided that my clean tones just did not cut it.
Killer (rhythm) distortion would be nice in an amp modeler but at least I have a great distortion from the amps.
All of the ax-fx preset demos are basically very cool guitar and synth pad sounds. It seems like it does the ultra effecty thing great.
How are just the raw clean and distortion sounds? I do not want to go on wild tone goosechace that never gets there. Did that for years with line 6. I want a variety of super solid clean, crunch, and high gain tones that sound great raw or with just a hint of reverb....just like an amp!
Does axe fx do this? What is your experience with this? The ever tweaking ever evolving tone is a bunch of garbage in my opinion. I worked for years with using 2 vetta heads and my tone was always "getting better". I plug into a 6505+, put the eq on flat, turn the gain up to taste and its amazing right away (distortion).
As a bit of background of myself I play a mixture of Industrial and Black Metal. The effecty pady stuff is good for electronic and ambiant music which I like...but I have synths to do that too. So when the guitar needs to be a guitar it needs to do that fantastically as well.
Would youall buy this unit again if they gave you your money back?
Thanks! I look forward to hearing your responses
