Axe-Fx II rig to the test

Hi there!
Long time no hear...
Now I have finally tested the new rig with our PA in rehersal a couple of times. I've spent the summer playing around with the unit and I set up the sounds using head phones at home. I can only say that the sound was totally different in the PA then in the head phones. The sound in the PA where much harscher and brighter. I also bought a fairly inexpensive active wedge monitor just to be on the safe side when it comes to hearing my own sound on stage and to be able to get my sounds with controlled feedback :-). It's a Laney CXP-112.

The Axe-Fx II sounded really good in this monitor. After just playing around with the Axe-Fx for a couple of hours I got a much better sound in the PA. I will continue to fiddle around with the settings to get an even better sound and search the Fractal Audio forum online for some insight.

Rock on!

Hi!

Here's a little update on my process of changing rigs. Unfortunately I have still not been able to rehearse or gig with my new rig, I'm still using the old one. So why? Well, time has been the problem. I have not had enough time to setup the Axe-Fx the way I want it. There has been too much at work and I also had another gig that needed a little preparation on the musical side. Not much, but the time I had available for it was not much. I needed to learn some new songs and to brush up on the old ones as well and as you know, time flies when you are having fun. But now I have no gig with any of my bands planned for the near future, so I can take some time to fix my sound on the Axe-Fx. One thing I'm planning to do as quickly as possible is to cell my old rig. With the old rig gone I must put some time in finishing the sounds for my new one. Otherwise I will not be able to rehearse...

Rock on!
