Thanks for the replies. Yes, that does make sense Markus, thank you. Dayton, what are your thoughts on this setup vs the Axe for the money? I have a Radial Bones Twin City ABY, but I also thought about going with the Ernie Ball Pan/Volume at some point to be able to control the blend. Seems like it might be worth trying for little more than $300. I don't usually turn the effects on and off manually on my patches, I use a few in front of the 11R for that. I think I might give it a go.
