It's so good that I've made this purchase a few times now.
Ultra --> Spare Ultra --> Axe II --> Axe II XL
Fractal keeps providing the most bang for the buck, thanks Cliff!!
Even though there are other units out there that may be cheaper or have other options, none offer what the Axe does.
They offer other things, but seriously, there really is NO real competitor.
Kemper is a different animal (not bad, but absolutely different) and doesn't have the effects and the level of updates that Fractal offers so regularly.
Thanks again to Cliff and the team!!! You have changed the way we do music.
Not to mention that I can roll now into gigs with a 4 space rack and some guitars.
Now, I still like my cabs with the Matrix GT1000, but I don't HAVE to do that.
Flexibility, versatility, ease or complexity-->it's ALL here.
State of the ART is an understatement.
