Experienced
Just a quick hello and introduction to everyone here. I’m 53 years old, bin playing guitar for 40+ years and I come out of the hard core tube amp fraction. Even most tube amps out there couldn’t satisfy my interpretation of the holy grail of tone. Being electronics engineer I started modifying, and after a while, developed my own tube amps (hand wired). Since about 2006, with increasing frequency, the name Fractal Audio kept getting louder and louder in the music scene, until now where curiosity got the best of me. Having had some (relatively disappointing) modelling equipment in the past, like the Line 6 POD X3 Pro, I’m going into this with some scepticism and high expectations. For almost 6 months now I’ve been reading countless reviews and listening to equally countless sample files until finally giving in. Yeah… the Axe-Fx bug has infected me and at this very moment I’m eagerly awaiting for the UPS guy to finally fork over my virgin Axe-Fx II. This will be mainly used in a studio environment with a Carver TFM-42 power amp driving a set of JBL L100 monitors. Anyone who knows these 2 components also knows there are 2 legends at work here and I’m hoping and guessing, that the Axe will harmonize with these, also in a very own legendary way. Looking forward to future discussions with you all here.
Cheers!
