Hey guys!
I'm waiting for the AX8 to arrive & have become slightly obsessed w/ Fractal Audio. I'm late to the party here (as usual) based on a preconceived notion that a) I didn't need the Axe-Fx or b) that it would be way too hard for a simpleton like me to ever figure it out!
But like usual, I was WRONG!
I just bought the Axe Fx II XL+ so I could hear & actually FEEL what everybody has been talking about for years & years now. It arrived last night at 4pm & right before my Zaza Skype lesson.
I was BLOWN AWAY after the 1st few minutes playing through the factory rigs in true stereo through my dual Friedman ASM-12 FRFR set-up!!!!
Like most real men, I didn't read the manual at all & just started playing & pressing buttons.
I recorded the 1st Axe Fx (Single Amp/cab) rig that I created after 45-minutes of messing around & trying to turn ON the delay effect.
Friedman BE X
I did this clip in the same style & tone as one of my Helix examples too.
The feel & sound in the room is 10x better, BIGGER & more awesomer!!!! It really is & I'm not joking at all here.
The thing that shocks me the most is just how FAST I got here! Right out of the gate the raw amp tones & FX are just there in spades & you can feel/hear the quality!!!!
I did a single amp/cab w/ minimal FX just to get an idea of what I'll get in the AX8.
I'm putting together more tones, samples & a fun video to share this tonal journey that started yesterday.
The Axe Fx II is worth every penny & I really should have purchased this around 5-years ago, but again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Peace! X
PS - The AX8 is worth the wait people, just hold on & your tonal nirvana is right around the corner.
