Death by Bitcrusher

That's awesome. It reminds me of NIN guitar sounds.

NZ to USA adapter

I'm all for a distributor closer to NZ but with the Australian dollar as strong as it is and the increased price of the Ultra (compared to ordering directly from Fractal) it would have cost me an extra $1000 to purchase from Australia...

NZ to USA adapter

I'm using a velocity 300 with an orange ppc112, marshall 1936, or peavey quad depending on where I am. I was contemplating going the mackie 1531 route but I'm pretty happy with my sound right now. I'll definitely be at least trying out the mackie at some stage though.

Either of those options will work. I just got a brand new jug cord.

Firmware 11: Reviews and Wisdom

Great update. I re-made a bunch of patches without having to use a filter or peq and they sound fantastic! It's also made me way less sour about the axe-fx 2 coming out ;)

PEAVEY IPR1600 OR ROCKTRON VELOCITY 300

It's pretty damn loud, I doubt you'd have trouble keeping up volume wise.

international users - how long did it take to get your axe-fx once you ordered it?

They charged me $455. But it's going to vary depending on the exchange rate.

EHX 44 Magnum Power Amp

Cool, so you're going axe-fx>magnum>mesa ? Does the magnum color the sound much, and what's the volume like? I mean, could you use it as your backup for a gig?

EHX 44 Magnum Power Amp

How did the 44 magnum end up sounding with the axe?

Showing up to gigs that expect you to use a backline with the AxeFx...

Just in case anyone is interested. I found the answer to my the passive vs active direct box question here: http://www.radialeng.com/re-jdi-faq.htm

First Time Poster here - What Power Amp are you using?

I'm using a velocity 300, though I'm considering going the FRFR route.

erm, bumping my old question. What's the difference between the active/passive DIs aside from power? Does it effect the tone/signal strength/how long you can run a cable?

Thank guys this thread is really informative. I have a question. Aside from the obvious (one needs power, one doesn't) what's the difference between the passive and active DI boxes? Does an active DI box mean you can use it for longer cable runs, does it sound better, etc? I'd prefer to get...

QSC K12 = Win!!!

Oh man, and now I'm gassing for one. Did you end up trying out the axe with any power amps? I'm using a velocity 300 which sounds great with my orange cab, but absolute rubbish the the cab where I practice. It would be much easier to take out all the variables and just use one k12.

My Mesa Strategy 500 or my Rocktron Velocity 300 for power?

I'd say let your ears decide when you a/b the two. I did a similar test between the velocity 300 and a marshall 9100 (with an hd500 though). I came to the conclusion that the Rocktron was just as good as the marshall and more tweakable.

I just checked in this morning and I see that they've shipped my order. Now it's just a waiting game. :)

international users - how long did it take to get your axe-fx once you ordered it?

I've finally ordered myself an Ultra after gassing for ages. I have a question for axe-fx users outside the US without local distributors. Once you ordered direct from the site, how long did it take to ship, and then how long to get to your door? My order has been on 'this order is...

Power amp questions for Axe Fx users! Tubes vs SS (big difference?)

Have you thought about the velocity 300? I've a/b'd it against a marshall 9100 and could get it to sound just as good. With the reactance and the presence controls it's also more tweakable.
