G'day All,
Well - I've had my Axe FX II for a couple of days now. It's use is in a studio, mainly for bass but some guitar as well. Thought I'd share my early impressions.
Pros:
1/
2/ Excellent sound quality
3/ Easy connectivity
4/ Software is good if maybe a little unstable
5/
6/ Lots of guitar amps to choose from
7/ Makes me want to play
8/ Easy to work with in conjunction with the software
9/ The community is very caring and responsive - a good bunch!
Cons:
1/ Badly needs expanded Bass amp selections in amps and cabs - Please - Some GKs (RB800 would be cool), Trace Elliot, etc etc - Of course this is only applicable to us bass players but you'll double your market.
2/ That fan noise.. OMG ... Terrible in a quiet studio - absolutely terrible - Really... come oooon... Get bigger heat sinks, stick them on the back of the case.. make the case a heat sink.... whatever it takes.. this is the only bad thing about the unit.
So - All in all... I love it. Like I mentioned, this unit actually makes me _want_ to play - It has brought the pleasure back to my music. No doubt I'll soon have a bunch of newby questions but for now, it's been very intuitive and simple to deal with.
Thanks
Pauly
