So how is that new rig working for Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder?

Yesterday was the first day that I really got a chance to spend time with it and it sounds phenomenal. The modded Randall preamps sound great. I was real happy with them before and now I’m even happier.

The Axe-Fx is great too. Not that hard to use and has endless possibilities. Granted, it does take some time to program, but for me having versatility is key. I really wanted to design a rig that would not only be able to cover all the sounds for the songs we’re playing on this upcoming tour (and believe me, it’s a lot of them. 40+ over two nights) but would also allow me to grow into new sonic territories (I know that sounds cheesey, but y’all know what I mean). Suffice to say, I’m beyond pleased with what we were able to get here.
