    Axe-Fx Ultra in 2017

    2007-2017: 10 Years with the Axe-Fx

    Every modeler I have had in the past, which is ALL of them, from line 6, to the eleven rack and everything in between, all pale in comparison. I used to love my Digitech 2101's and 2120's and I have had several, they sound like ass compared to the Ultra, no lie. The dynamics are there...

    2x12 Cab stereo or mono?

    The 2 upper jacks are the stereo 16ohm outputs and the lower one, is an 8 ohm mono jack, so it is both, according to the way it is labeled. No need to take it apart, just get a cheap multi meter and a speaker cable, put the positive lead on the tip, negative on the sleeve and set the meter to...

    Cab-Lab 3 Live Mode Buffer Issues

    Hate to bump this old thread, but this is my issue also. I am running a Core i7, 16gb ram, and cab lab vst alone, on one track, and cab lab 3 sucks 24% CPU. My system is fully Black Viper tweaked and all. Runs everything else great. Surprised this is not a common issue?

    Returning from the Kemper swamp - back to the Axe!

    I agree. The Kemper just doesn't have the ability to process ir's like the axe-fx, not to mention the superior effects in the axe. I almost went for the Kemper, but went for the Ultra instead, so just imagine how much better the II is.

    State of the Union for FAS - what's next for Axe Fx and more

    Wish FX-8 Rackmount & Made in the US

    Ax-8 rack mount would be cool too. If anything it should be cheaper, considering the foot switch aspect would not apply. I don't know. I guess the r&d of making a separate rack device, at a cheaper price point, would add to the cost. Hmmm

    I wouldn't bother with the torpedo, just get the Wall Of Sound (WOS), plug in, if you want to check it out. Same thing with no load box. Cab Lab is cheaper and the cab ir's are better and more suited to the Axe, obviously. No real advantage, unless your using a real amplifier.
