I have an Axe FX II and had been using it exclusively for about a year until recently. The unit is great and has a zillion great tones in it, but what I found was that in a loud live setting, it just couldn't cut through the mix... even with the Preamp and Matrix power amps cranked going through a Mesa 4X12.
My bass player says "Try your Marshall", so I plugged my JCM 800 into the 4X12 and *poof*... cut like a knife. Plus I got that "amp in the room" feel back that I had been missing.
So now I find myself playing more through the Marshall than the Axe.
Anyone have similar experiences?
