Check this thing out! I know a lot of musicians who is using it live and for the studio recordings but I have never tried it myself
Reviews are great but still not 100% convinced anybody here tried it or maybe own one of those? http://www.fractalaudio.com/ They are kinda pricy and I don't wanna spend so much money and be disappointed! -------------------- |

I have one and it rocks! If you are not satisfied, you can always sell it for more than you bought. Some are selling for 3300 USDs

I have the Ultra not the Axe Fx II and the thing is a beast, the programming gets as deep as you want, so overwhelming for some or a tweakers dream, apparently the AFII is easier to dial in.
I've used a set of presets made by a guy called Yek, and with minimal tweaking of stuff I have a great versatile set up. The effects are of Eventide standard and I would say no one else has come close to the amp modelling yet, great to go straight into front of house and monitors. For High Gain stuff check out samhillband on youtube, the guitarist Mark Day puts up a lot of great vids.

I'm currently on the waiting list for the Axe Fx 2. I sent the e-mail request for the discount code on 11-15-2011. No idea when I'll come up first on the list but can't wait!

These things are legendary. TONS of folks use them including wads of top notch pro touring groups. Not the least of which are Megadeth among others. It's one of the best dedicated processors money can buy. You just can't go wrong with one. If you can swing the price, it's the one to have. Todd |

I am thinking about it still I use to have guitar processors years ago last one I had was vg-99 and I hated it! It didn't cut through the mix at all and it's a lot of work to program this thing And it's Roland's flagship product I believe. Sorry to hear that, I was thinking it was better. V88 was legendary device. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

and the Axe Fx is that something better!
For a less Metal example, here are some things I've done, they are on other parts of the forum already. I think this was a AC30 patch I made http://soundcloud.com/mattkid/october-skies-take Yes some clever soul programmed a patch to sound like acoustic guitar and violin (not samples here, just effects) http://soundcloud.com/mattkid/acoustic-and-violin I'll try and get some other recordings done of things like the Marshall presets I have over Christmas This is the Axe FX Ultra and not the Axe Fx 2, so things in the 2 will be better and easier to program -------------------- My SoundCloud

I don't think you will be dissapointed mate, If I can pucnh in a good tone a get a good sound out of it, seasond guitarists like yourself would be in paradise. The AXE FX 2 is amazing, basically it's like having 50 different amps, they do such a good job of re creating the tone, you would find it hard to tell the difference if your eyes were closed. Now I am not a great guitarist, but these guys have great demo's of what the AXE 2 can do. I got mine about a week ago and still am trying to figure out all the features, they just released a free update a few days ago giving you more amps and effects, the latest addition was the Fractal Audio 5150 amp sim. anyway here is IMO, some really good demo's, my REC take is here using a custom patch i dialed in within about 3 mins... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42209 thanks to posterboy ( I think) for getting me onto Pete Thorn! And of course the Master himself, Former GMC Instructor David Walliman....amazing guitarist This post has been edited by JaxN4: Dec 30 2011, 06:03 PM -------------------- ESP E2 VIPER CAMO,
