I've been so happy with the existing IRs that I've never bothered purchasing one of the packs. But these two Christmas goodies are sooooooo good… crafty Cliff, I'm definitely picking up this next batch. Even if I'm not thinking of my own immediate needs (which I am!) it makes sense to kick a little something in to help with this ceaseless ongoing development, whether it be firmware or IR ware.
Yesterday I sent an email to Matt at Cascade Guitar, who got my custom Parker for me… I've been babbling to him about the Axe-FX since day one. Apparently he knows a bunch of Parker players who use the Axe, and all of them give him the same reaction. Here's a clip from my email to him:
"Cliff at Fractal Audio just keeps revising and upgrading the Axe-FX II firmware, and everyone is flabbergasted. I’ve really never experienced anything like this in like, four decades of buying tech. It’s like being a witness to genius, and the guy just keeps sharing it for free." So yeah, count me in on the next pack; I've never had a taste for stone soup, and Cliff's cooking to date has been beyond compare.
