I think the point of the videos that we watch since the Axe II was announced, is show us the clean breaking and medium gain tones. I can hear a lot of dinamic response and smoother tones than the Axe 1. That agressive and little harsh medium frequencies now are smooth and hot. The sound is more complex in general. I like what I hear and, with this release, the differences with a real amp are inexistent. Now you can do an A/B comparison and the tubes are in the amp and in the modeler 100%.
Well, is my opinion, maybe I'm wrong...
BTW - Great videos! I want my AXE II!!!
