I can't quite believe I have one of these sitting next to me in my music room.
Had been chatting to Zaulkin on and off about upgrading to the 3 I had kinda resigned myself to the fact it wasn't really obtainable. So when he put his up for a great price I dithered for a bit then decided I should try and go for it. I started pooling all my gear into the living room to prepare for sale and the wife asked what I was up to this time. Gave her the speel about how great this thing will be and she said "oh for gods sake just buy it"
This thing is DEEP. I knew my way around the AX8 pretty well but theres a fair bit more to get to grips with here. The I/O are plentiful; there is so much grunt. I could run both guitars and bass in our band quite comfortably. And it sounds and feels so good to play, a lot less tweaking and shaping required to get a good sound. I'm determined to do some recording and videos with this, if only just to keep for my own markers for how my playing is going.
The Matrix amp works perfectly too. So I can send outputs with full amp and cab modelling to my monitors/FRFR with its own level control and split off an output with amp modelling only to the power amp/cab and use it like a conventional rig.
