Greetings Fractal Forum! I have a few questions about this company, the Axe FX II+ and actually, about this forum itself. I know people get bored fast so I'll get to it.
1. Is the most current version of the "flagship unit" good with headphones? I use a lot of amps (primarily Bogners) in the recording studio I work in (and own . . . be impressed by that so I can bring it up often . . . ha ha) but sometimes, I just wanna practice with a good sound and not have to be in there. Sometimes, it would be nice to be in the house. One person told me that the Axe FX was "nothing more than a more expensive Pod" . . . but I didn't like the Pods much . . . so they got the boot pretty quick.
2. I tried the "competition" as it were, the Kemper KPA and while it seemed interesting, the latency was a bit of a turn-off. Everything comes down to "what you're used to" as a player . . . but since I have no way to try this machine without ordering one, (the locals don't have one) I thought I'd just ask. Do you detect any space between when you play and when you hear it?
3. One of the things I've learned seems to be "common knowledge" since I started investigating this machinery was that the people who come on to THIS FORUM and criticize the Fractal machine will be lambasted with insults and profanity . . . which I didn't see any criticisms to critique, so it made it worth asking. In one instance, it was inferred that the owner of the company even chimed in to hammer on a critical voice . . . which is kinda weird . . . but again . . . is there "no tolerance for criticism" here?
Anyway, I'm gonna continue digging around in case I can see these issues addressed . . . chances are, I'm new so I might not see many responses. I have zero experience with this machine thus far, but I DO know lots about lots of other things so perhaps I can contribute in some other worthwhile way.
Oh . . . here's #4 . . . .
If I ordered an AXE FX II+, how long would I wait to see it get shipped my way? (almost forgot that one!) Thank you, in advance, if anybody decides to humor me on these questions.
