The AXE FX floor unit is set to ship soon and it's about half the cost of the rack and has a foot controller built in Which is normaly another $1000 or so on top of the $2k+ for the rack unit. So nearly a third of the price in all at $1,200 or so.
I wonder how different the "guts" will be? The used units, once they show up, will probably run around $700 or so which is approaching being actually affordable Anyone else stalking these? http://shop.fractalaudio.com/FX8_Multi_Eff...d_p/fas-007.htm This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Oct 4 2014, 12:59 AM |

From what i've read, I think this is effects only; no amp models.

A smart move from Fractal, a lot of pros use the axe fx just for the effect sims anyway. If I'd have the money, I'd rather get this and a decent overdrive than trillions of analog pedals, I really like the concept of having your effects bundled in patches. +1 on this. I think this device will be very interesting and there are not many high end similar devices out there I guess? First one that comes to my mind is the TC Electronic's G system and other devices in the series. Having a good alternative to pedals is always good and I think lots of pros will move to using this device live if nothing for the portability of it and having it all in the one box and accessible. The price tag is a bit hefty though. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Price point may seem quite high, but look how many guitarists have a couple Strymon pedals on their boards, a couple of high priced ODs etc, and you're in the same price range.
I could see some more Ultras and Axe Fx 2s on the used market as the guitarists only using them for effects getting some of their money back. -------------------- My SoundCloud
