Axe-Fx III TURBO

I just picked up a used one online. How can I tell if it is an actual turbo model or not?

During boot sequence you can see the dsp clock

The initial boot screen should say that the processor speed is 1.25 GHz.

The screen also says ” Turbo” when booting up.

The screen also says ” Turbo” when booting up.

In later firmware versions it does. When I originally got mine, that wasn’t displayed. You had to look at the boot sequence.

Look in the mirror - is this what you look like now?

When you get to jammin' really hard, like Bugatti shred level, you should feel your playing accelerate at an unexpected pace! You may want to wear a neck restraint initially, until you get used to your head snapping back when the turbo kicks in!!
