HI Guys , first time on the forum .
I was wondering if the Axe FX II was still worth it in 2022 . The reason is it can be found at around 1100/1200 canadian ( around 850 u.s ) on local ads . The Axe fx III is close to 3000 . But the FM 3 is close to the AXE II price so is it better to go FM3 ?
Im a bedroom player that played with a cheap interface ( ik stealthplug ) and some software like GUitar rig 5 and i tried some other through headphone . But the result has never been quite satisfying , lots of extra noise , and playing in front of my computer is not my big thing . IR have helped making guitar rig 5 sound decent To get a decent sound , i would need to update my audio interface and buy good plugins .. si i think i would rather go for a Axe fX than spending 500-600 in plugins /audio interface
I was considering either the FM 3 or the AXe fx II through headphone for bedroom practice . Anyone have been able to compare the 2 ?
The axe fx Ultra is even cheaper , but i think back then , you couldnt load IR in the axe fx Ultra ( correct me if im wrong ) . And i know ( from playing with plugins , how IR are important to have good sound ( they can make a night and day difference ) .
- Is the Axe fx II and MKII version the same software and the same sound ?
I play punk rock , thrash metal and other palmuting riff with distortion , i dont use much effect . and im a bedroom condo player and i play through headphone and will probably play through them for another 20 years .
I would like once and for all to have a good sound .
any suggestion .
Thank you
