And I was trying to forget all about that crap... Damit!
Its two years now since it arrived. Don't get me wrong - no complaints, great product, godsent for a frequently performing player and those with vast musical imagination. It turned out its an overkill for me even though I am pretty proud of my musical imagination. I realized I was spending too much time tweaking not enough time playing. Last 6 months I was using simultanously Overloud TH2 plugin in my home studio which came included in Sonar X2 DAW. I have come up with many equally satisfying sounds and decided TH2 is my weapon from now on. My heart and mind tell me though I will be missing:
- members of the most friendly and helpful forum i.e. you guys
- Trainwreck, CAE and EVH III amp models
- Black Room preset
- Tone Match, I have never wanted to sound like that or another guy on an album but it was cool to reproduce my own sound from the old past when I used (now forgotten) borrowed amp
- firmware updates, I know no other company or industry to take so much care of its customers
If you are reading this, Cliff, I have great respect for you and admire what you have achieved. And the guys (and ladies) here are in good hands.
Keep doing great music everyone

Sorry! :?:?

Not for everybody, I get that.
Its the endless tweaking thing I don't get? Especially with the AF II, just use some some basic controls and your off and running, everything else is frosting on the cake. OK the Standard/Ultra I found myself diving in a bit more often. Re-routing effects is a joy on this thing, if you change your mind about the order of things.
But let me tell you what I do remember tweaking!
I remember a rig I had that required 3 midi channels, so I was careful when I made changes to the midi board and took more time and though than I deal with now.
I remember cutting cables for pedal boards, processors and so on (within a rack in my case) audio/AC/midi, soldering all of this together.
I remember trying to keep the audio cables separate from the AC and wall-warts
I remember changing out a processor, having to open up the cable and AC ties in some cases cut more cables to length do some more soldering, fire it up check for ground hum, then re-tie all cables again.
I remember changing tubes.
I remember constantly screwing with the EQ since tubes are in a constant state of change/wear
I remember balancing out all of this gear (gain wise) was not always easy at times, compromises were made,mostly because of the pedals, but there were other factors.
These are the things I remember tweaking!
And don't get me wrong it was a labor of love and proud of my rig but I spent far more time doing this than tweaking the Axe Fx Standard, Ultra, or II.

.....and you didn't had the chance to experience FW 13....you gonna Bite yourself in the butt Boy, if you hear it...
I've never understood these types of posts, especially considering:
Goodbye everyone, I have just sold my Axe Fx II
Its two years now since it arrived.

See the same behavior on gaming forums. Is it just some sort of psychological or symbolic "cutting of the cord" or something?
I didn't go on to Angel Soft's website and post a goodbye when I switched to Northern Quilted or anything. I didn't post a farewell on Digitech's forums when I stopped using their stuff. Doubt you'll see a farewell from me here if I ever move on from the AFX.
So to the OP, bye, good luck, whatever. Hope it helps you "move on".

There are ladies here ?!?!

It appears he wanted to thank everyone for their help. Nothing more nothing less. Seems reasonable enough to me.
