Well fellas, I was born in 1954, and I have lived through all of the eras of guitar and rock, etc., but I am still playing guitar strong as ever.
So with that said, I think this thread needs to stay on track, and back to reporting invitation times. That is the focus here for us who do want an AXE FX III, and who do not think guitar is dead...
Just saying...
I'm on the waitlist just like everyone else in this thread. I currently own a Kemper and am selling it as soon as I get my invite, I also returned my FX8 to fractal for store credit last week to be used towards the AXE3 because I hate the Reverb in the Kemper and could not get the FX8 to sound right with the Kemper.
I originally sold my AXE2 because I like the far greater ease of just buying a good profile vs having to tweak a fractal, but the Kemper Reverb just sucks so bad and Kemper has no plans to fix it. I couldn't get the FX8 to connect to the Kemper without all kinds of weird artifacts and noise, and no one on the Fractal forum or Kemper Forum would help me with that issue, so my only solution is to go back to Fractal get the AXE3, hope I can pay someone to tweak the amps in it for me or something and then at least I will have quality effects to go with it. I almost bought Strymons big 3 pedals but decided if I can't get the FX8 to hook up right with the Kemper then I probably won't be able to get pedals to work right either. I can't deal with that kinda stress. I just need a box that can do it all. When I had the Axe 2 it stressed me out that I couldn't get my presets to sound like Mark Days videos, and I thought maybe the grass was greener with Kemper, but it really wasn't, yes I could get that Mark Day tone with the Kemper easy, but what good is great tone if it's ruined by Reverb that sucks? So here I go with Fractal again, with the Axe 3. I was one of the first people to buy the Standard Axe1 when it came out in 2004 or whatever. Even back in 1990 I hated real amps, loathed them, prefered the Rocktron Voodu Valve back then to real amps, so I've always been a digital guy.
