FX8 is fine gear, but nothing beats the original. And my amps are rack mount.
The Axe Fx is not a Kemper... Users can't "model" amps, only Fractal can do that.
AxeFx tones are useable right out of the box. Do some tinkering with the presets or make your own from scratch, of course you need experience to do the latter. My post is tongue in cheek, back handed compliment to FAS. I have two XLs and will likely buy a third because I love my tube amps and want the best effects for all of them. I like to blend multiple tube amp signals and when I look at the costs for multiple Strymon pedals, Eventide, Gurus, Keely, you name the pedal and its just cheaper to add another AxeFx. Axe Edit makes it easy to create the best effect presets for the effect loops in my amps. And I like having an XL+ available to take direct to the mix when I want to add another tone like Fender, or Marshall or whatever. Great tones on tap at all times.
You do understand that the more of your products (LB-1 ?) I purchase the less I have in my bank account. You could come up with some monthly payment option with say the current Fed interest rate of 3/4 of 1 %. If its good enough for the U.S. government its good enough for everyone!
