Hi guys, I'm thinking about getting a triaxis and I'm just not sure whether it's for me. I don't gig, I don't have a band and I don't record, so it'll be purely a practice amp. On the other hand I do want to start a band and I do want to start recording stuff sooner or later. Based on these facts alone, I'm thinking of getting the triaxis and mate it with the 20:20 for now for practice purposes. If I ever need more grunt I'll get the 2:90 as I know that was made specifically for the triaxis but I simply don't need that much power at the moment.
I would really love to hear what a triaxis mated with a 20:20 sounds. I've searched far and wide and I've not seen this setup used very much at all and finding audio samples has proved completely futile. I know I prefer a slightly punchier sound rather than the compressed sound that the 20:20 triaxis setup supposedly makes

but I'm sure it still sounds a heck of a lot better than my current solid state Roland Cube anyway. I definitely like the dual rectifier sound and I know you don't really get it with the triaxis but I think I'm getting over the recto sound little by little and moving more and more towards the Mark IV sound which I was looking to get a while back also but they are very rare in Australia and getting it new is simply insanely expensive (~$5k), same as the triaxis actually but I found a nice second hand one on sale and it got me thinking.
The other things I like about the triaxis is its versatility and it's a recording amp if I'm not mistaken? I'm not quite sure how recording works nor how/what MIDI is. I read about it a bit as there was a triaxis on sale for a price I liked and I was in a rush to figure out whether I want this thing or not but ended up not forking out the money as I don't like being rushed in my decisions. The fact that you can mix and match racks is also quite appealing. I can't say I'm made of money and I'll be mixing and matching my setup all that much but the option being there is always nice. I think I prefer that than having to get a heap of different heads and cabs to have all the sounds I want.
Just what to hear what you guys think.
