Huge AX8 fan, LOVE the form factor. More than enough power, very happy with the tones, CLR on the way, just locked in my guitar situation. I'm SET once all the gear flows to/from me by the end of next week. Gigging this weekend with current rig which is also FINE.
It just so happens I will be in the black with my gear account (for once LOL) and should NOT want another guitar. Any new purchases would be completely superfluous to the core rig and my requirements.
That being said...
The band is going back to IEMs. The lead singer was also gifted some nice gear including older DAS audio mains which are supposed to be really good, very powerful and we are playing bigger rooms soon. He is also buying my XR18 and we will be back to putting guitar and bass into FOH as well as backline. I'm the sole guitarist in my band as well.
I'm also doing a lot of home studio clips and recording, hoping to do an entire album eventually.
And I play A LOT at home through monitors / computer.
And it just so happens I have a nice rolling 4 space rack AND a rack mount power supply.
I use the Boss WL20 wireless too...
So my rig could go from Guitar gig bag on back, CLR in one hand, AX8 bag in the other -TO- Guitar gig bag on back, CLR in one hand, rolling 4U rack bag in the other.
BUT! I would want to invest in the FS6. Does it no longer use ethernet?
I know there is a waiting list, but I believe Fractal is better with their handling of waitlists than years past. What type of cable do I use? Will the cable power the footswitch? If not that would be a huge bummer.
What to y'all think?
