I was given an AXE FX II, along with the volume and wah controllers and the MFRC-101 foot controller.
As my user name suggests, I'm a fairly simple blues rock guy, so I don't really have a need for 1000 sounds. In fact, I'm inclined to run this the same way I run my Plexi super lead or my Mesa - As a good "Marshall style" clean and add my pedalboard in front. If I get good enough with the system perhaps even replace the pedalboard with the MFC-101 [assuming I can get good enough with it and find all the replacement sounds in the system].
The goals I'd like to accomplish are;
Being able to send the signal to a 2x12 cabinet loaded with 2 UK made Celestion greenbacks [I'm thinking the Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 is all I need for a 50 watt cab like this in the bars and clubs I'm playing this way] and being able to send it to front of house for large venues with IR's.
Of course, I'm going to be reading the manual.
I'm looking for some insight into;
what IR's to use [and how to get them to work]
If the powerstage 170 is right for my application - should I consider something else?
What amp sims would you suggest for my use [my normal rig is a Plexi super lead, I use the normal channel only with the mids, treble and presence cranked and the bass very low, volume often not much more than 2 or 3].
Are there any good primers I should watch or read?
Sorry for being "the newb" - I'm an old school guy who's truly new to this way of doing things.
