I have a Triaxis. It was the point of reference the Axe had to at least match if I were to keep the Fractal. I didn't think it possible, but the Axe equals the Triaxis for quality of tone, and blows it out the water in terms of flexibility. I tried many modeling products over the years, and none of them held up against the Triaxis. Guitar Rig 3 was a joke, Amplitube paled, Roland and Line 6...not even close. The Axe blew me away. My Triaxis hasn't been turned on in months. I don't miss it at all. Granted, I did have to experiment quite a while to match my favorite tones, but I did achieve them (for all eight modes). One day, I will get around to selling the Triaxis on ebay.
