    New unit came today and within 10 minutes there are problems

    Hey sorry for the lack of response, I haven't made it online in a couple days. The initial wait did have to do to whatever contract issues TM and FAS were having, but we signed up for the wait list welllllllll before that was even made public, hell, before it was even brought to TM's own...

    New unit came today and within 10 minutes there are problems

    This happened to me also. I waited months upon months to get my unit through Tone Merchants. I finally got it, and it had a faulty LCD screen. Fractal essentially told me to call Tone Merchants to deal with it which upset me becuase they didnt have them in stock, there was still a huge wait...

    I think I found THE Uber tone....tell me what yalls think...

    He probably records these examples using reamping and DI's of the same riff to give you a good idea of how each amp differs. Chances are he records, produces or offers reamping services as a business.

    Moved through second day quickly!

    Europe is obviously a whole different situation that has far more details than any of us probably know but if you can ship units inside the US to a preorder list you started 2-3 weeks AFTER the small one initiated by your only US distributor, that is where my issue lies. On top of it, FAS...

    Moved through second day quickly!

    Awesome! I signed up for the Tone Merchants list on 06/06/11 and won't get my unit for another ~3 weeks. It would appear that Fractal doesn't hold the TM orders as a priority like their own even though its the only US authorized dealer which is kind of a bummer. I thought I was doing a good...

    When is Tone Merchants getting another shipment?

    Dealing with what? What does that mean? Any sort of update would help. I ordered from TM because they are a fractal authorized dealer, the only one in the US, that works directly with FAS. Factor that with the fact they took the initiative to do a wait list sums up why I went with them. If I...

    Misha Mansoor (Bulb/Periphery) gets his AxeFX II!

    Yes and no. Its a combination of things but your main point is correct. No more audio interfaces are needed to record and midi is no longer needed to update firmware and use AxeEdit. Also - the amp models them selves and how the II is layed out apparently makes it muchhhhhhhhh easier to dial in...

    Trivium live recording

    Ive been a fan of Trivium since they were 14 year old unsigned dudes playing the House Of Blues in Orlando and I must say this new material has me more excited than ever. I can't believe how good Matt and Paolo sound live vocally. He finally found "his" range.

    Trivium live recording

    Not only am I really enjoying this song, but this live video is awesome. I know they are using Ultra's live now and happened to catch a glimpse of them in the racks here, along with the meter moving on Matt's Ultra during 4:17-4:19. Clearly it was eq'd in post, but it sounds great!

    My live rig

    Thats a steal, I paid $599 and don't regret it. Make sure you prepare to swap out the cable on the transmitter pack. They are pure crap and begin making noises. I got a great Lava Cable replacement on eBay and it is now 100000% of unbeatable wireless awesome.

    I got to spend some good time with Dev as he filmed a video for a song off the new album that I was part of the production. He's hands down the best person ever. Talented, creative, humble, hilarious and just all around loves to hang out. I told him I pre-ordered an AxeFX II and he was stoked...

    Saw A Perfect Circle last night.

    Billy just did an interview that said they want to do a bunch of small EPs. Kind of like 4 EPs make an album. They aren't on a label anymore and are paying for everything (this tour included) on their own so they will probably stay away from a full production/press disc.

    When will AXE II be available to purchase again

    Sorry I Didn't mean to come across as a dick, your question was worded rather akwardly - the whole "since day one" made it seem like a general question. Like Sam said Cliff posted in the other thread that Fractal is switching over to a new store. No one knows when its going to relaunch.

    When will AXE II be available to purchase again

    Almost every other post on this forum is about this topic, grab a drink and start reading. Long story short, there is a waiting list. Add yourself to the list and patiently wait it out. If not, you can try and catch one in the store at a premium price ($400 above retail) but even those are...

  54. T

    How awesome is this tone??

    You can download his presets from his website if you want his exact sound. A lot of the meat and potatoes lie with the backing track but you can definietly get a good tone out of tweaking it. He doesn't have the Mesa but he has his Uber and Engl presets Presets and Impulses | Ola Englund

    Where in the US are going visiting? You have 2 options, to either contact Tone Merchants in California or trying to contact Fractal in New Hampshire. Other than that your only option is to find a used Ultra model on whats called Craigslist, which is basically a place to sell gear locally.

    Live rig's are more of a big deal than studio rigs, so I don't understand your point. I'm an avid AxeFX user and while I love it, if I was in the studio with the budget the Deftones had I would use amps.
