Cliff.....what were the working names before Axe Fx name was chosen?

[Rogerthat]

Johnson Amplification

 

[Rex]

Most people I've seen and read on the interwebs call it "the fractal" !!???

Right? The Axe-Fx is "the Fractal." The FM3 is "the Fractal"...

[Tonedeaf]

Johnson Amplification

I liked them better than Line 6. Did they just go away or did they evolve into something else?

Fear not to speak in tongues of Middle-earth, for no apology is owed when one calls upon the lore of the Eldar days, master NY Guitarist.

I'd heard that was the internal codename for Viagra.

That's what my band mates and I call it.

 

[giantslayer]

Internal code name was DGP-01.

Digital Guitar Processor-01, yes rather generic. AXEFX is a much more marketable moniker.
I'm just amazed at how the company never rests on it laurels, constant improvement. There's a reason it's worth every penny IMHO.

I was thinking "Da Guitar Processor," like da kine, you know?

They were digitech.

Cliff's Guitar Box Machine

Can't even lie, I wish it was called the Guitar Box Machine

I will say that it can be difficult to verbally tell someone "Axe FX" if they've never heard of it before. "Fractal" is more easily discerned verbally without sounding like "Acid Fix" or "@$$ Effects." Plus, my band uses a the FM3, FM9, and Axe FX III so just saying that we use "Fractal Audio Systems" for our guitars is easier.

I'm still shocked how many people in the live music circuit haven't seen or heard of Axe FX. I get asked about mine regularly at shows, but I guess smaller DIY punk shows aren't the usual scene for modelers. I see more Kempers with the built in power amps.
