Morning all,
-Not a reader check out the video-
Only a week in, but the only thing I keep thinking is why didn’t I take the plunge sooner.
I’ve been on the fence about buying any Fractal for years, I don’t think it was the price I think it was more so me holding back and thinking that it wouldn’t be as good as everything I’ve been hearing.
Since the release of the AX8, I have been seeing more and more of my favourite artists touring with them. Hero’s of mine touring with a guitar and the ax8 in the case, it blows my mind to have that many amps and fx in should a small package.
I finally took the plunge…….and it is better than I could have ever hoped for!
The stock presets blew my ear holes wide open and that was before changing cabs, tweaking and dialling in.
The leave of detail in the manipulation of the software is incredible, it is so ridiculously detailed, everything is thought of and set out in a logically way. I have a printed version of the pdf, there is so much to know, I foresee many nights of testing and reading.
Weekends are booked with friends coming over to hear the AX8 through monitors and cabinets alike, I never had a friend that owned one I think that could have been holding me back a little as well, not being able to test one out first.
The biggest feeling I get is that I have been handed the keys to something magical, like the willy Wonka factory or slippers to get to Oz. It might sound crazy but coming from two amps and a handful of pedals to a treasure trove of tone has really opened my eyes and ears to what I am missing.
The tone from each amp model is ridiculously good, highly useable and further tweaking just gets them closer and closer to the real thing.
If there is anyone lurking this forum (like I was) and is on the fence, just do it, get a second job like I did and find a way to make it happen.
Currently re-amping my first instrumental EP, with gigging with the AX8 on my sights for the end of the year, I could not be happier!
Thank you to the team at Fractal for making such a well thought out and detailing product and thank you to my fellow forumites for the wealth of knowledge I have been swimming through.
