I just realized that you have 4 Axe-Fx Ultras and 2 that are something else.
Holy fuck.

Haha, the two first pic's are of the same rig!
Derp. I didn't even see the seam between the two pictures! EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW.

He just gave his reason. The head's poweramps have good tone, and theyre a backup for when the axe fx shits out, which apparently they do a lot

Hahah, I didn't see first either.. but I thought that it would be too good to be true!
In that last picture the neck on the sunburst JP looked really wide, I thought it was an 8 string and nearly had a heart attack.

do you notice any big differences between the Axe Fx 1 and 2?

are you just using the cabs for stage volume and sending the axe direct to foh, or actually micing them up?
We have tried running DI, but we find that it sounds too "shrill" and thin. We double mic our cabs with an SM57 and Marshal MXL 2001. We use Mesa oversized 4x12's.
There isn't a real difference in tone between the Axe Fx Ultra and 2, but the convenience of a USB port, bigger screen, more effects/comps etc etc is pretty nice.In that last picture the neck on the sunburst JP looked really wide, I thought it was an 8 string and nearly had a heart attack.

So DI with the Axe FX's isn't the best thing for you guys? even when using the Axe 2 with the stereo cab option?
Yep. Nothing like double micing and getting actual air movement from the cab to the mic. We don't always play on the best PA's, and running DI on a shot PA is just the worst.

haha YES. I live in NZ so there arent many venues here with amazing p.a. I'm moving to a D.I rig but keeping my poweramp as a backup as 60% of our shows are vocal/kick in small p.a only.
So what everyone is basically stating is to have a really good power amp, preferably a real amp and not just like a Art Sla2?
It's great to get your opinion on this as you're a touring musician and have had experience in this!

There is nothing wrong with using a dedicated power amp, it's just all upon opinion and preference I guess. We use our heads just because we like the tone we get, and we are afraid of change. Also, if for some reason there is a problem with an Axe Fx one night, we can just unplug the loop and run direct through the 6505.
