Hey everyone. I was offered an AxeFx Ultra in a FB marketplace trade and I was wondering if anyone could still vouch for this unit in 2024 in a for live use power amp > cab setup. Seems like a fair trade, about $350 of gear on my end for his Ultra.
I'm currently running a POD HD Pro X > Power Amp > 4x12 and I honestly have not been a fan of the HD Pro. Mainly because I always seem to find myself tweaking my settings at practice or on stage and it gets real annoying. I'm interested in the Ultra because from what I'm reading, it seems like its easier to dial in tones without having to go nuts with tweaking. I don't mind deep diving to get the tone right but I'd rather not have to keep adjusting.
I wouldn't be recording with the Ultra. Unit would sit in my 4U rack with my power amp for live shows. Tones I go for are in the metal/hardcore/punk realm. Boosted 800's, 5150s, etc. - I don't use effects so I don't need a floorboard. I would just love be able to dial in a single amp high gain tone and leave it at that.
If anyone out there is still using their Ultra in a similar fashion let me know what if you think its worth it! I would love to get a more modern Fractal unit but its not in my budget right now.
Thanks!
