Congrats Damo, looking forward to a review from a aussie/kiwi perspective. Enjoy

Mine was supposed to arrive today, paid for aus post express post platinum.... but it didn't.... Fucken AUSPOST! Argh!

 

[rickgk]

Just got mine and plugged it in it is so much richer, fuller and much more responsive than the ultra (mines only on fw:1 - wait till I upgrade to fw:2 tonight!) I'm simply blown away!

Damo have you been without the ultra for long? Just wondering how fresh the comparison is?

Only sold my ultra last weekend... So still very fresh in my memory. Trust me, it's like the earmuffs have been lifted on the 2

Nice one, thanks mate.

Bastard! Couldn't you have just said, "Meh, not much difference" instead?

You have now made our wait even more excruciating :lol

Aus Post just delivered the box, just off to d/load & install fw 2.0......now I've got the rest of today to play!

enjoy the AXE II

 

[rickgk]

got mine yesterday, played with it till very late last night, my expectations were a bit too high i think.

Got delivered to me at work today as well.

Counting down the hours until I can get home and play it!

You can send it up here to keep your former Parker Fly Mojo company

 

[rickgk]

That could very well happen, more tweaking to be done first.

Well the wife ended up stealing the Parker Fly anyway. She won't let me touch it (even though, as I recall, it was my money that paid for it).

Only had an hour or so to have a fiddle with the AxeII last night and won't get to play with it again until Monday!

So far very impressed. I found it hard to dig it immediately as I was running through my headphones with the stock presets. But as soon as I hooked it up to the computer via USB, updated firmware and instantly recorded a quick grab to play back through my computer monitors I was suitably impressed! :mrgreen Unfortunately I didn't get much more time to go any further than that for now. Need to sort out the best way to monitor through my computer with minimal latency or thru the monitors direct.

But, why I am posting is that I noticed I am missing the 'X' label on the X-Y buttons!!! (see attached image)

Anyone else in this batch have the same problem?

I'm not really fussed, it really isn't a big deal but I'm curious as to how to contact fractal & let them know of the mistake so that they can fix it up for future units.

What's the best way of making Cliff aware? Shall I just post this in the bugs forum or is there a contact email?

Nice headphones, I love my ath-m50s

I hit patch#30 last night.....and haven't got much further.....

What's patch number 30 for the unenlightened amongst us?

Take it up with Andrew at IM first - he is your local dealer and has warranty responsibility. He'll also have much better access to Cliff than any of us ever will.

Will do. Cheers

Hopefully it is not the same as Rule 30 of the Internet. (Rules of the Internet)
