I recently played a show where the sound guy saw my Axe FX III and said, "they still make Axe FX's? I thought everyone uses Kemper these days." My band mates like to poke fun at me with that because they know I'm a Fractal fanatic.That war was over a long time ago. Kemper hasn't been a threat to fractal for a very long time.
That said, I may be loyal to Fractal, but I know there's tons of awesome gear out there. People can make better music than I can while they use their Kempers, Helixes, Quad Cortex, or even tube amps (gasp!). Fractal devices are just one of many options to make great music. It's my personal favorite.
I'm just surprised when people "in the business" don't know anything about Fractal units when so many top-of-the-line tours use them. Probably because those tours don't necessarily have them visible... Then you combine the price point and the fact that Fractal is a direct-to-buyer "go to market" strategy compared to other companies' presence in stores and people just aren't as aware of Fractal.
