Members xcml5 Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 I wish I could sell mine I was going to sell mine (I never have time to play it anymore loud because I got some family staying at my house and I can't hardly turn the volume plus I need cash for fees) but prices {censored}ing stink right now. It is weird because a few months someone put one up for $3200 and it sold within an hour when there were two for sale that were $2900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 Last time I had it up I had it at $2700 shipped but after the guitar I wanted sold I just took it down. That is $500 and $550 less than I have sold the two before this one :blah: Yeah, but the one you have is an older one isn't it? I think $2,800 give or take is a fair price for it. I sold mine for $3k shipped. It's a 2006 with external bias/tube fault LEDs - with new el34s and a set of 6550s and a custom slip cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TU BE Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 so the snax fx is the "be all/end all" for you Matt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhenson42 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 so the snax fx is the "be all/end all" for you Matt? No. But I really like it and it's really all I need. I'll still be buying/selling amps in the future I'm sure. Though I probably won't be amassing 5 or 6 amps like I had at one point. I still have my Uberschall too. I will say the Herbert was my "be all end all" for along time but Axe FX aside, I grew a little tired of the compressed nature of Diezels in general. The VH4 I had got sold off last year. I really only held on to the herbert more for sentimental reasons I guess. With the Axe allowing me to get a pretty good sounding Diezel tone but with less compression, I was pretty much done playing the Herbert - so what was the point of hanging onto a $3,000 amp I didn't use.

Members jnurp Posted July 25, 2010 Members Share Posted July 25, 2010 how easy is the axe to get up and running with a great tone without spending hours fiddling with it? that was my reservation about getting one, the amount of time it consumes to get a great tone. I just like to plug and play with as little work as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to plug and play with as little work as possible. I have zero patience for tweaking rack gear honestly. I never even made my own patches on Rocktron Xpression (2), G Force, G Major (2) that I had because I would get too frustrated with it. With the Axe it really is super easy to get a great tone. You don't have to bother with all the advanced parameters if you don't want to. I don't. You just set it up so the controls look like an amps controls. The only thing you really have to do is use the Parametric EQ and a Graphic EQ on every patch - at least I do - to get it to sound more natural - like a tube amp. I also think it really sounds better through a tube power amp rather than SS. There's some YT videos that people demo making a patch. You can see for yourself how easy it is. I bought a cheap lap top to use. It's even easier to manage with the laptop, but most of the time I still do it manually because I don't feel like waiting for the computer to boot up.

Members shred-o-holic Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 I was pretty much done playing the Herbert - so what was the point of hanging onto a $3,000 amp I didn't use. I see the logic because the same thing happened to me. That Fireball you and I owned along with a Vetta II head and a RM 50 with a gazillion modded modules just sat around and gathered dust with the Axe around. I would plug into the 3 amps once in a while but they just didn't sound as good as the patches that I set up with the Axe-FX. People who don't own one seem to have a hard time with that but it is what is is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
