Axefx iii dsp fried

[TenorKeith]

Well if this doesn’t sell a bunch of extended warranties then nothing will

Considering that many Axe FX III's have been sold and used over the years the odds of you having this same product failure is unlikely. I would not get an extended warranty.

I’ve bought computers brand new that have fried. It’s not unheard of for 1 unit to fry out of literally thousands.

Sure — and that’s precisely why manufacturers have warranties — but as others have posted, it’s usually power supply-ish or board-level components that go south. Could those kill a DSP on their way out the door? Certainly.

And unless things have improved a lot in the last five years (since I’ve stopped dealing with this kind of stuff on a daily basis) an overall “electronic entertainment device” hardware failure rate of 0.1% wasn’t thought to be all that bad.

I made sure to correct the technician who said this. Such a mis-statement will never again be uttered.

So it was actually said? Color me surprised.

I ll try to remember once I get my unit back..

OK here it is... actually currently running at 85+. I use this with either a PRS or a Reverend double agent...... Try it at your own risk!

Don't get that shit anywhere near me.

This has got to be an extremely rare event. I used my Axe-Fx Ultra, Axe-Fx II, and Axe-Fx III for years and never had any hardware failures.

Can you post the preset just for the hell of it ?
