Hello everyone,
So the AXE FX II has always been in my wishlist for the last 3 years. But finally I might make the call. Just want to know from someone who has been in a similar situation like I'm right now.
I record typically guitars and at times the bass. I've been using a Presonus Audiobox 22vsl as an audio interface for the past 3 years. I use BIAS FX for recordings but somewhere it just doesn't cut through for me. It sounds too synthetic to my ears. Maybe, it might be because of the audio interface ? Guitar is an Ibanez RGD with Crunchlab and Liquifier. So right now I've two options: i. I could get a Macbook Pro 2015 with a quad core and a good interface like the Apollo Twin MKII Duo, or ii. just get the AXE FX II which I can use as an audio interface.
Usage application would primarily be for now recording but I might start playing gigs after sometime. The biggest concern for me is getting the best raw guitar tone before mixing and VST amp sims just do not sound right especially with high gain tones. If the AXE FX II does deliver, I don't mind investing. It's quiet a lot of money and I just want to be sure that I'm investing on the right piece of equipment.
