Hi guys,
I'm finally putting together my Axe Fx 2 rack over the holidays now I have a bit of time on my hands. My plan is to run the 4CM through my Boogie combo and use either RJM's Rack Gizmo or Mini Amp Gizmo to change channels on my amp.
I'll still be using the Axe at home thru my studio monitors and using the cab sims etc but I like to use my amp live with the band and having the axe for effects is great solution as all my effects will probably remain the same settings when using the axe both ways. Well maybe some little tweaking here and there lol.
I'm using an SKB 4U Rolling rack case as I want to keep my setup pretty small. I have a power conditioner, the axe fx and I was thinking of using the Rack Gizmo for switching channels on the amp and possibly adding a couple of pedals in my fx loop. If I do it this way I won't have enough room for a rack interface panel I want to get made up.
The other solution is to just get a mini amp gizmo and put that in the back of the rack to change amp channels, and that way I have enough room for the rack panel but I won't be able to add any extra pedals if i choose to. At the moment there is only one pedal which is a Nano POG. I'm pretty sure the axe is able to recreate this effect? If so then I wouldn't need either devices.
I just curious those of you that run the 4CM what do you think is the best solution? And how do you run your 4CM? Have you got extra pedals hooked up or are you just using the Axe?
I'm thinking of going the rack interface panel route as I'll find it easier to connect things on the fly. I'm using the Mastermind GT as well and I have the phantom power box that will be put in my rack also.
Thanks guys
Paul
