As much as I tried to convince myself to spend $3kCAD on an Axe FX II, it's just not happening. I can't justify spending that much money on one single piece of gear. Especially not at the level I'm at.
As of now I am using all plugins to record guitars (Bias FX, Amplitube, also tried Helix Native and TSE Audio X50). While they are alright, they don't sound as good as I'd like and don't quite feel as good in terms of sound and response. I know that's a huge advantage to hardware, the feel.
I found a good deal on a used Eleven Rack and was wondering whether it's worth it. I found some YouTube demos and it sounds pretty awesome. I was wondering if anyone has experience with these? Both for just jamming and in the studio. How much do you have to tweak these things to get a good tone. My problem with these YouTube demos is I really don't know what has been done to get a good tone. Did they use a bunch of post-EQ to achieve that sound? Or other studio magic? I understand tweaking will have to be done to achieve my desired tone, my question is out of the box, can you get some pretty awesome tones?
I play primarily metal and rock so my main focus will be distorted tones.
