    Tony at it again...smh, Axe-Fx III inside and out video review

    Yup, just saw that. What a loser that guy is lol. He gets called out for being wrong yet again and he can’t take the criticism lol.

    Tony at it again...smh, Axe-Fx III inside and out video review

    I pointed out in a comment to him that Ive been to the premises (picked up my III a few weeks ago) and that the highlighted area is incorrect and his rebuttal was he can only go by google lol.

    Took a ride to Fractal HQ in NH today!

    No amp needed, the Axe's headphone out drives them nicely! Halfway up on out 1 is almost too loud. FWIW, Ive also run 300ohm Headphones from the Axe's output with no issue. Haven't tried anything above that though
