Awesome! How are the drive models?


(...and why did you get this if you've got the AxFX already? Better fx?)

Drive models are meeaaan, still a bit of room for improvement in the feel of the fuzzes but the sound is there.

I got this because it's designed specifically for 4CM, you can do it with the Axe but it can get a bit fiddly at times and I feel like a dork showing up to jams with a rack. FX8 has relays to handle the amp switching as well.

Tending to still use my Mesa for gigs as I'm not quite ready to accept the FRFR paradigm, so this gives me the best of both worlds. At some point I'll grow a pair, get a nice monitor (probably Friedman) and start using a modelled live rig :lol:

"Boutique" to me means high price and low sales hahaha

Not trying to be rude, I assume you bought this to use standalone with the Mk V? how come you didn't just get a foot controller for the Axe and use that instead? slightly more portable with the FX8?

How are you finding it to work with the mark V?
I gave up on 4cm with my Mark V. The Fx loop in the V is (as with most mesas it seems) really crappy and kills the tone of the amp.

Even just jumpering the fx loop with a good cable harms the top end badly. It's not so bad if you only turn the loop on for the odd occasion with an effect. But if you have to run the fx loop on permanently with your main rhythm tone it really sucks.
The higher the gain, the worse it affected it.
Ummm....

I think this is considered "boutique" because its what the cool kids get because line 6 is below them :moresarc:

No troubles at all. I can't say I've ever had any issue with the loop though and I use the V pretty unconventionally :lol:

Hmmmm... I've never noticed any difference loop or no loop on my MkV25, I'll have to take a closer look.
