Did we forget to celebrate the 6-year anniversary of the Axe-Fx III in January?

Wild. I think it doesn't feel real because of all the updates -- it certainly seems like 10x the product I bought 6 years ago!

It's the very best example of "The gift that keeps on giving", except it wasn't a gift. "The purchase that keeps on giving" doesn't have the right ring to it though.

I was just wondering how much other gear I'd have purchased chasing sounds if I hadn't moved to Fractal. I figure I'm way ahead as a result of doing so.

Whaaat? 6 years? WTF. I thought it was like 2-3 years.

Damn. Like... DAMN! How can time fly so fast?

Covid man. I swear it was like a 3 year black hole of time. At least that's what I'm blaming it on.

I bought my house like a week before the lockdown, so coming up on 4 years here, and it feels like I've been here a year. This is also why I still haven't done half the stuff I said I would do when I moved in.
 
I was a year behind the release. Got mine in 2019. Will always love it. I’ve never considered other gear since then. Except mor FAS gear of course. 😀😀
 
My fractal gear is the only gear I have that gets consistently better as time goes on. Consider how rare that is- a piece of consumer electronics that six years after it's introduction is much more capable than the day it was introduced-
it's pretty extraordinary, and one of the biggest (but not the only) reasons why I'll continue to buy fractal products. My Axe 3 is the best gear purchase I've ever made, and I felt that way about my old II, and my old Axe Fx Standard before that. It's ridiculously useful- at church, I play it straight in, and it sounds great, reliable, easy to tweak... then at home, I can play it into my studio monitors or headphones for amazing tone at any volume... or I can hook it up to my w/d/w Swart rig as a monstrously capable pedalboard (it is impossible to describe how huge that rig sounds), or I can run it with my Tucana 3 in 4CM as a compact mono rig that can go anywhere and do anything spectacularly well... I love my Axe 3, and when the 4 is introduced, I really doubt I'll get rid of my 3- it's just too useful!

And of course, if I'm lazy, the FM9 does all the same stuff just as well! We're spoiled!

Same thing here. I bought my unit in January last year after doing quite a lot of research and comparison with competing modelers. The fact that many of us are willing to purchase a modeler a number of years after its initial release is a testament to the fact that Fractal manufactures high quality modelers and they have continued to upgrade the hardware and the firmware to greatly enhance the original version continuously over its lifecycle! No other modeler developer does that.

It's the same thing here. I bought it second-hand this year. I've had the ultra and the II before. This is an amazing piece of machinery!
