Update.
Trey Gunn (member of King Crimson), and a great Stick-Player by itself
brought me to look up on a unit he uses himself now:
It´s the
MOD DWARF ...and I´m quite shocked what you get there for a quarter to a fifth of a Axe.FX3-Turbo´s price tag -
though, I wouldn´t dare to compare it from the HQ-Audio Solution´s perpective...
The MOD is a fully open and modular unit
claiming that!, which is basically everthing the Axe does??
Trey´s gonna now - as he ran into the same limitations once... hm.
On a further investigation I ran into the
Zoia from Empress too (scroll down and look up for "Ever Growing List of Modules" -
this is just nuts.
There´s even a third competitor, the
Beepo.
...
I will close with linking you with a
one-on one-on one-comparision
