I just got my Axe FX II about an hour ago and I just took my headphones off because my ears where getting hot. After going through some presets I gotta say this thing is CRAZY GOOD! I wanted to use it right away so instead of going through hooking it up to my frfr system I just plugged into it with my cheap headphones. I used to never use these headphones on my eleven rack because it sounded like pure crap with the AxeFX is sounds stellar! All the high end fizziness and the what sounded like a blanket on the eleven rack is no longer there on this machine. The FX are on a different level too, it is not even close. God I am so happy to own this thing. Thanks Cliff!
