I'm very happy with my axefx. It's really great for patches which blend multiple amps and cabinets. The quality of the amp sims and effects is great and the control features are exceptional. I've tried a lot of amp sims and the axefx is the one I've settled on. It's not the ultimate rig though. For example the Avid Eleven has integration with proTools that is brilliant. When you record a track, the patch settings you used on that track are automatically saved in the song. The amp sims don't quite have the quality of the axefx though IMHO.
Ironically, after spending $2500 on my axefx, I still sometimes use my Johnson JStation, which can be found on eBay for about $50. The JStation was way ahead of its time and has a great dual rectifier emulation among others. It also has a feature the axefx doesn't have: an acoustic guitar emulator. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

If you search the Axe FX Forum, under preset exchange, you will find many patches which simulate an acoustic guitar, to very good quality.... also check this clip of Marco Sfogli using the acoustic sim on the AXE FX 2 one of his songs... from James LaBrie's solo album http://youtu.be/eS3QBJElI64 This post has been edited by JaxN4: Jan 8 2012, 09:05 AM -------------------- ESP E2 VIPER CAMO,

Check out my recording above of acoustic guitar and violin, done on electric guitar with the Axe Fx Ultra, in a band situation the acoustic guitar emulation is fine for me, I would just use my acoustic guitar in any other situation

I think both the line 6 and axe both sound pretty good, granted I like the sound of the axe more so. It just seems to have a less boomy sound to me. But I'd love to have an axe personally. Just the price tag kills it for me. -------------------- Guitars:

Hey Alex we'll see you in a few months then!!!
You'll spend a few weeks jamming on the factory presets then you'll start to delve deeper making your own. Sometime in March you'll realise you haven't eaten or been to the toilet since you got it!!! -------------------- My SoundCloud
