Mmmm....all this discussion is giving me some serious Axe GAS. I have a RM4 more or less on its way, though I'm starting to think I should just get rid of my home and buy another AxeFX in addition to the RM4. I used to have an ULTRA, and now I miss it..=)

yeah thats what I meant when saying using a cab will feel more traditional in a way, but FRFR is cool when you're used to it. But in many cases, especially if you're using AFX with other pre's like I want to, you're better off using a cab. And, like you said, thats the fair way to compare if...

Well, yeah. But IMO, when you're in an amateur band without your own soundguy and playing crappy venues, micing a cab is probably even more of a compromise soundwise. It'll feel more like "traditional" guitar sound for you on stage, but the audience would probably be better off with FRFR. When...

That's bound to sound bad..cabs are an important part of the signal chain, as are poweramps. Yes, a cab sim would help getting a better tone when going direct with a pre. Anyway, as you said, Line6 amp sims are not in the same league as Fractal sims. That's the whole reason for the Fractal...

I agree about the samples in the Fractal site. On the forum, however, there are some good clips. Wish I could afford having a AFX in the rack along with my RM4 (which is on its way soon), would be great being able to use the cab sims with the MTS modules.

Didn't even think about that..

"Hide it in a mix"? I meant it goes really well in a mix, and by mix, I don't mean EQing it and compressing it to hell and back again. I just mean it sounds good in a band, many modelers don't.

Hehe yes, I guess there's a lot of that going on, excuses from people who don't know how to work the gear they just bought. And the BS about tube amps not needing tweaking; come on, you don't mean that do you? Some very high end amps sound pretty descent with everything at noon and no real...

I disagree =) I think it's a matter of tweaking. I don't think anyone can hear the difference when the preset is tweaked properly. Of course, if it's NOT tweaked properly, the digitalness can shine through a bit..but the thing is, it sounds so perfect, you'd need a really good engineer micing...

What Jeff Schroeder off Smashing Pumpkins said on hugeracksinc was he uses both, and they're both amazing. He uses the RM4 85% of the time and AFX the rest, mostly for cleans. But I'm kinda thinking that if he wasnt so in love with the MrScary, maybe he'd use the AFX more =) I had AFX, and I've...

Ok=)

I'm sorry, I seem to be missing something=) What are you people saying to me? =)

Would love to buy a RM4. Am also interested in modules, both modded and original. Thanks!

thats fantastic=))

Mmmmm...axefx=)
