Even his reasons for choosing to use the Axe-FX were manifold.
Don’t want to look at your pedalboard while you’re playing guitar and singing? Use a preset step button to scroll through patches sequentially. Can’t hear the crowd because your isolating in-ear monitors just isolate too damn well? Mic the crowd up. Ken Andrews, an audio engineer by trade, has thoroughly planned out the functionality of Failure’s live sound rig.
The rest of Premier Guitar’s Rig Rundown is similarly enlightening.
They even double as guitar stands (and pull triple-duty as drink holders). But the sight of them, wrapped in lights? It’s a fantastic looking set dressing on a minimal budget, and chock full of practical benefits to boot. Vocalist/guitarist/bassist Ken Andrews (who alternates between four and six strings with bandmate Greg Edwards, depending on the song) fully admits that those Sunn speakers don’t sound great, or are even particularly reliable. But unlike a slew of those bands integrating modeling rigs, Failure understand the importance of stage volume. You see, like an increasing number of modern bands, Failure go direct to the mixing board with Fractal Audio’s Axe-FX.
