I sold the gear, that you can see in the gallery, on eBay some weeks after I got my Axe FX. I just haven't had the time to write a description for them. About my YouTube videos: On the one hand I'm playing through ESI Near08 Experience monitors to hear myself. On the other hand the output signal from the Axe FX was directly recorded into my PC (which is the sound you can hear). To answer your question: Before I sold the Marshall 9100 power amp, I tried to connect the Axe FX to the power amp and the Marshall 1960 Cabinet. First, I disabled the power amp simulation in the Axe FX. Sounded very muddy, certainly not good. Then I enabled it again. Ironically, it sounded better, but still, I wasn't satisfied. Maybe another cabinet would make it sound better. And maybe the Axe FX would have been able to correct this with its tweaking possibilities. However, because I wanted to sell the power amp anyway, I didn't put any more time into it. I guess you need to do some experimenting to find your sound of choice. Many Axe users in the Fractal Audio forum have an SLA ART2 solid state power amp combined with a guitar cabinet (like Mark Day with his Randall 2x12 cabinet - which sounds great for my taste) or a full range frequency response (FRFR) cabinet. I'm going to try of those combinations at some time in the future, too. Hope I could help you :) Regards, Chriss Thank you for your comment!
