I'm not sure the Amps and Cabs is the appropriate category for this topic, but here goes....
I was barely a teenager when the Mac was introduced to the world but I will never forget the initial impact of WYSIWYG when it came to word processors and presentation software of the day. It was a huge thing to be able to graphically create something and actually produce exactly what you created (what a concept!).
Well, I've been an Ultra owner since last November and have read hundreds of posts on this forum (filled chock full of great advice from experienced Axe-Fx users
), spent many hours tweaking, and I'm still searching for a reasonable (and economic) solution to achieve WYHIWYG (what you hear is what you get).
One of the reasons I bought the Axe-Fx was to simplify my "rig" and hopefully get by with only packing a couple of guitars, cables, foot controller, a 4rack SKB case containing the Axe-Fx, and go FOH with IEM at the gig...........no floor wedge, no amp and cab, etc...
The other reason was to be able to create and tweak presets at home and have them credibly reproduced through the FOH at the gig. WYHIWYG......
Unfortunately, reproducing satisfying guitar tones is very elusive. There are a more than a number of posts in this forum describing the nuances and influences of speakers, cabs, amps, FRFR vs Guitar Amp/Cabs, etc.....
With that in mind, it's rather difficult to "know" and "account for" the varied FOH equipment at any venue you play at.....there's a lot of variables that come into play.
What are some of you guys doing to achieve WYHIWYG between the tones created at home and the tones amplified through the FOH? (a description of your tweaking environment as well as your approach to setting up at the venue would be really helpful)
