    Axe-Fx II "Ares" Rev 2.00 Firmware Release

    I agree and am almost certain there will be no further updates but to play devil's advocate that post was from April 2019.... this whole Ares 2 thread is from September 2019 haha. On September 29th 2019, Cliff said "FWIW, I'll be porting some of the Axe-Fx III 9.xx changes this week. I woke up...

    It looked way cooler in photos for some reason. In person it was super cheap and gaudy looking haha. It was like looking a shiny glittery print and the fabric was sagging.

    Just picked up an Engl savage 120 mark i for a steal of a price. I've had the axe ii since 2011 (when it was released) and enjoyed every minute of it. I'm not getting rid of the axe by any means but just wanted to try something different after all this time. I've got it running with a custom...
