Experienced
Wow
This has caught me off guard.
Background.
- I'm a Kemper user eagerly [ and somewhat impatiently ] waiting on the AX8 wait list
- I have had the please of using a good friend XL+ at a few live shows - very happy - hence why I am on the AX8 wait list.
- he is aware of the AX8 " wait " and has offered to sell me his old Axe FX II Mark II for the AX8 equivalent of US $1400 as he intends to keep his XL+
Now .... I know this is a GREAT offer ..... and I have no intention of grabbibng it and "flipping" it.
This is a genuine offer from a good friend.
In the plus side - I already have a BJ Devices TB12 Midi FSW which is fully Kemper and Axe Compatible.
The down-side / where I am not sure
- the AX8 seems suited to live gigging with dedicated "real" amp controls
- the Axe II Mark II -being a rack unit- strikes me as being much more fiddly / annoying / harder to tweak in real time duing gigs / songs when playing live.
- also I know the XL has a better encoder and better / quieter input and other major changes ... whch the AX8 may also have ?
HELP ........ any thoughts / ideas / comments would be genuinely appreciated.
