    AX-8 Price

    So does this have 2 or 3 DSPs? Or, is it 2 DSPs and 1 accelerator(which sounds like it's a DSP)? I'm confused. It would be nice to have a table to compare and contrast the Axe-FX, the AX-8, and the FX-8.

    Dumbest question probably-Cab Mix & Mic selection

    This is all well and good but I still miss the neutral mic IRs. I have purchased all of these cab packs and they do sound good and are perfect for recording. However, I don't do a lot of recording anymore. Most of my time now is spent plugging in and playing like I would in front of an amp -...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 18.06 Released

    Renaming Preset weirdness
