I loved my SGX2000, the trick was to put an overdrive pedal with very little gain in the mono loop... smoothed things out.
I think that BE clip sounds really good man.Here's some quick noodling I recorded to show the kind of response you can get from the Axe II just by using the volume knob and switching pickups. Nevermind the playing or whether you like my tone or whether or not I'm in tune, etc. I just picked preset (#23, which is a Friedman Brown Eye) and commenced to noodling. I don't remember if this is the stock preset or if I modified it. I'm playing a PRS NF3. It's Seafoam, which you can probably hear if you're using really good headphones :tongue:.

Only with the sheep.Even though it's a bit out of fashion?
In this case - yep. At least plugging the Axe FX into the front end of an amp. There isn't a single modeler made that sounds good like that - even the ones that have an output mode for that sound horrible like that (most of the Line 6 and Boss units have such a mode). It's like running the piezo output of a P22 into a cranked Marshall and saying that the acoustic sounds aren't very good. While it works and can produce a unique sound, it's not the intended configuration.
Hans wasn't digging it so some of us that have used it to our satisfaction chimed in with better ways to run it. Don't read more into it than that.
I think the Axe-FX is great. I think my traditional amps are great - I've got a Two Rock, Friedman, Twin, Blues Jr., Legacy III, etc. I can make music with any of this gear - I find it all inspiring. In my Stones tribute band I use the Two Rock. In my other band I've been using the Friedman but I may switch back to the Axe II. These are all awesome choices.
I am just trying to show that modelers can respond well to extreme changes in guitar volume and pickup changes...
FRFR = Full Range Flat Response. Ideally 20 Hz - 20 kHz +/-3 db.
Simplified, something that represents exactly what the Axe does without adding any EQ or distortion of its own.

Since I have been following the Axe-FX, the most popular powered monitors/cabs for an FRFR rig have sort of followed this progression:
Atomic Reactor FR->Verve FBT 12ma->QSC K12->RCF NX 12-sma->Atomic CLR
There are many others of course, but those seem to be the most discussed. Some people like the 10" speaker cabs a lot for the weight, but I have always preferred 12" speakers myself. I am currently waiting to replace my Verves with Atomic CLR's.
