Current NON-Fractal Audio users making the switch ?

[JWDubois]

I'm a long time (and still satisfied) Ultra owner. Since the Axe I gets no respect from the Axe II owners, I feel like an outsider too.

Actually one of my concerns is that I'll get the new box and spend my time tweaking it to sound like my Ultra.

I'm new to Fractal as well. I have been playing the Eleven Rack for quite some time now, but it is IMO pretty limited in the FX, and the amps could be better. When I bought the Eleven Rack, the intention was to swap it out for an Axe-Fx II eventually, so the AX8 is a welcome addition IMO, as I really want anything in one single unit.

i am onboard.The pricepoint drew me in to try fractal. I tried the helix and didnt like the amp/cabs in it.Many can get super tones but i didnt want to tweak alot..the ability to go deeper is excellent but i didnt want to HAVE to to get good tone.

My exact situation and thoughts. I'm hoping for much better feel & experience with the AX8...

I have been following the progress of modelers since the Digitech GNX4 almost ten years ago. It seems that they have made significant progress, to the point where I will be able to make the switch, without missing the tube amps.

the GNX4 was the first all in one modeler I ever owned, and I thought it was the cats ass (Ive never owned a real amp).

I play in my basement, have followed Fractal for 3 or 4 years, and am finally ready to take the plunge.

I wont be making the switch just adding the AX8 to the hoard. But I currently have a custom MI Audio 50watt Iron Duke (marshall esk) and a Reynolds 25watt el84 class 8, the ax8 will be for studio and gig usage
