Hi As the title suggests I am considering trading a guitar I don't play much for an Axe FX II mkii. I already have an AX8 but I would be getting the Axe FX II mkii for just under $1k USD.
I am considering the trade to sell the AxeFX II to make some cash, and keep the AX8 however the thought has also crossed my mind of selling the AX8 instead...
- I want something to replace a traditional pedalboard, so I would need to buy a foot controller for the axe fx.
- It would mostly be used at home for tracking guitars
- Sometimes used with 4CM and a tube amp
- maybe used as an amp replacement for jamming in the future.
The AX8 can do all of this stuff now. but...
Axe FX II Pros:
- When tracking guitars having it rack mountable would be nice so I could keep it in the rack on my desk.
- Fewer long cable runs for 4CM.
- More DSP power
Axe FX II Cons:
- Need a separate foot controller
- Loose the amp control knobs
Axe FX II Neutral:
- USB Audio interface ( already have a thunderbolt interface )
- Dual amp/cabs ( probably wont use this )
Anyone have experience using both of these devices want to weight in on anything I am not considering?
Thanks!
