Members avenge the rage Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey all, i am looking for getting something to record with, i already have a interface but looking for something abit more. I have looked at the axe fx, pod hd500 and eleven rack. I play metal and have a engl fireball currently. I would be using it for recording only at the present. I would like to be able to download patches to it. What would be best for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanMichael Posted May 11, 2011 Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 What is your budget? The general consensus seems to be that the Axe-Fx is the best sounding modeler/system out there right now, and nothing else is in the same class. The eleven rack is also a rack mounted two space unit- the POD is a floor based multi-effects processor/modeler. I've heard decent things from all of them- will you be keeping your ENGL? Do you want to use it as a front end to whatever modeler you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members avenge the rage Posted May 11, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 11, 2011 Im keeping my engl yes. Well I was going to save for a axe fx till I heard the hd500, but not sure if it much better. I'm not bothered about rack or fall as for now its off in for recording with.

Members Mcfontio Posted May 12, 2011 Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 What's wrong with micing the fireball? -Especially if that's what you use live. {censored}, the axe FX is more expensive than the ENGL. And you're diving into a totally different realm with it. You might find yourself gigging (like a bug to a zapper) with the FX if you got it.

Members mnewb1 Posted May 12, 2011 Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 For the money, I really like my 11R and I have heard some excellent metal patches played on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
