My 2 Cents: Why Some People think Axe-Fx Doesn't Sound Great

And my answer is simple (and yet so complicated) and it's not the axe fx that is "to blame. When i started modelling I was so happy that finally I had so many amps and effects. I started with the Purple Monster from Digitech which was a hybrid solution (digital and analog) and it had real...

Legacy Bits from the new Blade Runner soundtrack...

No really fancy playing or spectacular sounds, but all pretty nice little arrangements of tunes for the guitar. The Mesa melody in particular is something I could never have done without the Axefx, although of course now it's recorded I'm hearing everything that's wrong about the sound...

Hole in between?

Hi there. I am new here. I don't have the ax8 unit and don't know if i will but it. Some people tells me that when they change amps, there is a "big hole" in between, a sort of interrupted sound. Is that it?
