Announcing Axe-Fx III Mark II TURBO

[HurdyGuigui]

Yesssss !!!! More POWER !!!
I am upgrading from my mark I for sure!

 

[NeoSound]

Cracked under pressure!!! I had convinced myself that there was no need for full-res irs, no need for extra presets... but I wanted them !? Then flashing all of this DSP power!!! Ugh ! Ordered.

 

[NeoSound]

On top of more complex presets I would imagine slightly less latency for certain things?

 

[crdark]

I'll wait for the Turbo XL 9000.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago seriously hoping for a retrofit option

[MackieFX]

I knew this day would come I use nowhere near the limit of power in the axe but I still have gas....

Unlikely to happen because as Cliff said other hardware elements are changed with the Turbo as well

 

[Moke]

Any FM3, or FM9 Mark II TURBOS in the works?

 

[Larz]

I'm in...

I suspect something different

 

[Joe Bfstplk]

New one ordered. Will need to RMA the MK II I just got.

Hmmm.... I think I am within the return window as well.

Well, Cliff is a Pats fan (or at least was until their last game...)

Who Dat!?!

Many people here are assuming this means it will have more dsp so you can use more blocks. I don’t think that’s what Fractal said. Same dsp, just faster. I could be wrong…

We are pleased to announce an option for new Axe-Fx III Mark II customers. The unit can now be purchased with an optional TURBO module. This provides a 25% higher clock speed allowing for more complex presets which would exceed the limits of the standard DSP module.

The new option adds $200 to the retail price at the time of purchase. Axe-Fx III Mark II Turbo will be available beginning Sept 28, 2021.

Ugh. Purchased a mkII at the beginning of the month. Not inside return window. One of these years I'll get the purchase timing right.
