Just updated to the Ares beta... WOW! I have handfuls of favorite presets and they have really taken a shine to Ares! Super-MEGA-Thanks to all at Fractal for making this happen! I have been absolutely floored by the quality of the XL+ since Day 1 of my purchase and this firmware beta just takes it over the top! I don't know how you continue to improve on perfection, but you always do... This is the best music-related money I have ever spent. Mr. Chase, thanks for everything you and your team do for the music community!
A huge By-Name shout out to the team!! Ed Dame, Michael Pickens, Ryan Buckley, Todd Mizenko, Ron Collins, Dave Benshemer and Matt Picone. Thanks for the fantastic giftbox of smoking tones! I have a deep appreciation for all of the magic that you collectively have put into my own XL+ and the after-care that came with it. Word-of-mouth about what you do and how you do it is what draws us to your creation. I've seen plenty of Fractal ads over the years, but the personal testimonial of a single AX8 owner is what pushed me to make the purchase. I told MY story to a friend and he surprised me weeks later with an e-mailed pic of his just-arrived Axe III. You have made something so incredibly special and it is a gift to all who have one or hear it on their favorite albums. Again, thanks for everything! Bravo! *standing ovation*
