I think you already have the answer to this one.
Go the Axe FX route! What you have described is what the Axe FX is excellent for. Yes - it is different than a real amp but for that kind of flexibility, portability and work efficiency - I don't think you can beat it. Real amp is cool for many reasons too but its a whole different approach. For recording you would need to use a Mic, special treated room, very good pre amp, audio interface etc... Tone you get through the mic will always be slightly different due to mic positioning, amp settings etc. Tone of the amp when recording and playing live will be completely different and you would need to set different settings live depending on the club etc (even though you might try to get the same tone from home and know the settings for that one). Some amps have headphones out but it doesn't sound amazing. Playing real amp does have its benefits - the tone, dynamics and the simple plug in and fun of adjusting it. For Axe FX you'd need some nice PA system or monitors to get enjoyable tone at home while amp has a built in speaker made for it. Having said all this - I think this is a matter of taste. If you like your current guitar tone and music recording/producing/practicing environment and workflow, no need to change it really. Both solutions have pros and cons and are very different workflows so its a matter of taste in the end. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
