Using axe fx 3 tonight in a semi outdoor show at 41degrees and 35 wind chill

[Keith White]

This is the first show I have played in this cold of weather using the axe 3. I have lost none of the tone like I would have back in the tube amp days. We are playing bamboo Willie’s on Pensacola beach. It is an open air bar with plastic fold down sides with many leaks so the stage is a wind tunnel. Freezing fingers making it hard to play. But This axe 3 is truly amazing

You are a braver man than I. I would not be able to feel my fingers, or any other appendages for that matter!!

Good luck! I hope it goes well.

Thankfully, I don't feel the cold until teardown...adrenaline is a good thing. Have fun!

It was cold last night and going to be colder tonight. That had to be crazy don’t know what is worse sweaty hands in the summer or freezing fingers in the winter. Lol. Think I’ll pick sweaty hands and summer Hope the gig went well!

One of the few things I miss about the high wattage incandescent stage lights is the heat they brought to the cooler outdoor gigs. So weird when you can see your own breath, but you're sweating and your fingers are warm, lol.

I'm afraid I'm going to drive home from tonight's gig in sleet....people around here don't have a clue about driving in the white stuff

41 degrees, that's spring up here in Canada... eh.

 

[Calibix]

That sounds downright balmy from my Wisconsin perspective.

The AxeFX will be fine. Your ability will be cut roughly in half. Play a lot less notes. Thats been my experience with freezing my balls off, anyway.

You must have a smokin’ hot band to draw a crowd willing to see you in those conditions. Congrats!

 

[Bruce Sokolovic]

Area heaters can go a long way. Get the propane ones, most electric circuits will blow out if you’re on the same one with all your gear.

Sounds like my living room the past few days.

I would die. I’d light a garbage fire.
