I never really had an amp or effects collection. Had a Marshall Valvestate 8080 for YEARS, with a PodXT for effects and so on. Then upgraded to the HD500. Then went to the Axe FX 2, complete with FRFR (Matrix).
For me, it seemed the best value way of doing it. I was considering a killer Marshall head, like the JVM, and that would be over £1000 for that alone, and of course I would need a cab. And the effects! The Axe FX 2 gives me the JVM, plus a load of other amps, plus all the effects and routing I might need, and in a nice rack form factor. Job done!
