So ….. I did what some might see as the unthinkable – I sold my Axe III and bought an AX8…….and I couldn’t be happier.
Actually, to be more precise – I sold an AX8 after I bought the AIII – used the AIII for about 8 months – THEN sold it and went back to an AX8. Semantics.
Overall impressions of the AIII is that it is better. I love the sounds I got out of it, I loved the routing options – and I loved that I never had to worry about CPU space when writing my presets. It is absolutely the best piece of music gear I’ve ever owned …… but it was way, way WAY more than I needed.
To be honest, the AX8 is more than I need ….. but it is just the right amount of ‘more than I need’.
I found some of my AX8 presets that I had saved in a file in my computer – and dropped them in my new AX8 – and it was instant grin. I’ve written a few more patches since then. And even though I acknowledge that the AIII is better overall ….. the AX8 is better for my needs. I just couldn’t be happier. No reason to ever own an amp again. I love Fractal.
