What is happening....
There is no obligation for anyone to show how anything works. The product was announced just days ago.
Please stop taunting the beta team and FAS staff with “prove things to us now.”
People are asking questions and we are answering many of them. Some don’t like the answers and negativity is happening over this product that hasn’t been released yet. If people want to ask us questions and then not believe our answers, that’s your call.
The Axe-Fx II is great. It sounds the best it ever has. This is over years of constant work and testing. Does the Axe-Fx III sound better already? Yes, yes it does. Cliff himself said it’s not a drastic difference at this time. But it does already sound better.
Again, it’s been 5 days. I think the fact that the beta team and staff is NOT putting out videos and running our mouths starting threads shows how we aren’t trying to falsely hype things up.
It’s FAS. Look at the legacy of the Standard/Ultra and the II. Years of free updates. “The best tone I’ve ever had” according to many forum members here. Now we are moving to a new product 10 years after the original has been introduced. Tech and resources are so different now than it was before, it isn’t really surprising that a new product is using different protocols.
Right now there is a waitlist. You sign up, and wait for your turn to order. If at that point you don’t want to buy it, you can pass. No one is really committed to buying at this point. Also, Cliff is already taking forum/customer feedback into consideration in his forum posts for a product that only a handful of people are actually using.
The Axe-Fx III is a very exciting unit. I’m blown away by what it can do and think it is an amazing evolution of the products we already love. Let’s all group hug, take a step back, and enjoy the gear we have, and give some time to learn about the new gear coming out.
