What can I say... I've been bitten!

This wouldn't have anything to do with a little rumor about another MusicMan enthusiest using one, would it?

Ha. No, sir. I made my mind up because of Tone alone on this one!

Well good luck on your sale. Thats a killer price for an almost brand new Mark V and the extra tubes. I expect a full review on the Axe Fx when you get it.

You going ultra?

how do you plan on running that may i ask? (i wanted that and then thought i'd be to much to get a power amp, and/or s flat monitor system to let it run the best)

so what clips did you listen to that pushed you over the edge? (i am still waiting on the book you need to right about all the gear you've gone through :mrgreen: )

A friend of mine got one a month ago and after hearing it twice I asked him to bring it over and let me borrow it for a few days. That was all it took. We ran it through his power amp into my 3/4 back cab. Sounds killer! We had the cab sims turned off. This is how I'll most likely run it when I get one. I'll probably save some cash and go with the Standard.

Somebody get Adam's Mark V so I can hear an AxeFx!

Adam's great to deal with and a close friend. No worries when getting gear from him!

So is does the Axe FX beat down the Eleven Rack?

In every possible way except price. Although the 11 rack is still pretty decent, it's just that the Axe Fx is that good.

< - Big dummy here. How does that work? It's a pre-amp, so you still need an amp to run it through? What kind?

Correct, you need a power amp to run to a cab or you can use the cab sims and go direct to PA or PC for direct recording.

I believe the amp might be sold to a guy on the JP forum. I am awaiting a payment!

You'll be the first to know if the buyer backs out!

Wow, MusicMan...you DO go thru the gear. I guess if that AxeFx sounds that good, I ought to lookinto one and give a listen sometime....oh yeah, I gotta find a job first! :shock:

Good luck w/ your quest...keep us posted!

Well, I knew the AXE was the only piece of gear that could trump the Mark V...

 

[Heritage Softail]

Trumping is a strong word. Tone trumping is in ear of the beholder I guess. Since I don't sell old toys to buy new ones, I can't afford to get the high end toys you do.

Let us know in a year if it is still better.

Very few things stay on top of my tone world for a year :lol:

Ha, I have to agree! I say 'trump' because it does the Mark tones AND Recto tones AND Marshall AND Vox AND HiWatt AND Diezel, AND...... you get the picture. Not to mention the stellar effects on board and direct record capabilities. It just matches my current situation better than a fancy tube amp that will never see the massive volume levels it is capable of producing...
