Hey guys, I have been a die-hard tube fan and I love my Marshall JVM and the killer tones it delivers. However, I just can't help but notice that many experienced guitarists and many professional touring guitarists are using Fractal Axe FX units. The thought of having less weight to carry around is very appealing. There are threads posted on this forum that reference the Fractal units, but I can't find a dedicated informational thread.
Can you guys share your comments about the Fractal audio units?
Which unit(s) do you own or have previous experience with?
What are the 'pros' and 'cons' of the units?
What type of rig do you recommend - is there a particular power amplifier, speaker, PA setup, pedal routing, etc?
Does the Fractal really respond and feel pretty much like you'd expect a "real" tube amp?
If you can think of other things to add, please do... I am just curious. I can't believe I've finally come around the block and have opened my mind to the possibility of using a modeling unit.
