    Axe-FX III & resale value of AXFX2 after AX8 release?

    Axe-FX III on the horizon?

    I couldn't possibly be any happier with the tones I'm getting. If this Mk I ever died on me, I'd be only too quick to buy another Mk I.

    So many updates, so much tech details.. now i just cannot PLAY!

    Looking and FW 1 and looking at FW18, I have nothing negative to say about the huge amount of great upgrades we've had and continue to get. I've never downgraded once.

    Axe FX II and Kemper Profiler (Yes, another one...please read!)

    There's no right or wrong answer. I started playing Yamaha guitars, moved to Ibanez and tried Gibson, Fender and many other " These are what you need " names but Ibanez always did it for me in playability / tonality. Are they the best guitars around ? No - but for my own personal use I've...

    Did you see this 'Deluxe' (XL!) Axe go for $1500 ??

    Chinese guitar knock-offs... opinions?

    I think this is the $64 million question. If you can get a guitar that looks ( and more importantly, plays and sounds amazing ) why pay more ? I spent a fortune on a legit Gibson guitar but sold it later on after finding a cheaper guitar that for my purposes did a better job for my style of...

    It's been (mostly) fun...

    I respect the amount of time it takes to make a video being a videomaker myself. I appreciate your frustration at not being able to make money ( goes with the territory of being an artist am afraid ! ).

    Disappointed in the user interface

    I have zero patience and the attention span of a goldfish with ADD. I've never had any problems dialing in sounds - and with axe edit, the task is even more effortless. I can't think of any FX units or amps that aren't controlled by dials / knobs ( and amps don't have LED displays either, you...

And the new IR's from FAS and Ownhammer respectively really are the icing on the cake. Very cool having...

    There would be a huge market for someone to make an alternative for the MFC-101

    I grabbed an MFC-101 at the same time I got an Axe II. Yes it's not cheap - neither is the Axe II. BUT - you get what you pay for. The Axe II has amazing sounds and gives you the equivalent of so many amps which would cost you hundreds of thousands to invest in. The MFC-101 is built like a tank...

    Any gamer's here Xbox One Or PS4?

    Yeah - I thought about that. But they made a huge loss on the PS3 too ( in Hardware ) and made up for it with software sales yet still kept free online gaming. Either way, £5 a month won't break the bank ! Looking forward to November :)

    What happens when we hit FW11 ? (Axe FX III)

    In all fairness I'd have been happy with a Standard. The Axe II is more than I'd ever need as a player - for those who want the III, IV, V etc then have at it ;) Personally this isn't all I ever wanted as a guitarist - it's a world beyond it. Take care all, and happy jamming !
