Random OCD thought

[Rock Chalk]

Ewww, glad mine doesn’t have any bumps. You better get that checked!

..Stop that, or you'll go blind!

Just wondering - whenever someone runs their finger from above AXE FX III logo all the way to the bottom of the logo - does it feel like two bumps? Or is it absolutely flat and smooth?

Bumps being above the logo and below the logo?

Got a new AXE FX III so was just wondering if this is the case for all or is it only me?

 

[ZenRigs Man]

Mine has no bumps at all and is perfectly smooth. Must be the made in USA model.

I’d probably be a bit ocd about how it’s got moisture on it...

With the way OP is fondling his Axe FX, use your imagination about what the “moisture” might be.

I was not going to rub my AXE but I couldn't help myself and fortunately it doesn't have any little bumps. As soon as you feel little bumps like you describe it's time to reach for the Valtrex.

The replies are hilarious!

But my guess is - the moisture was on the unit because it is already 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) here in Milwaukee and the box was out on the bus all day. So probably got cold and the moisture residue was due the the condensation when I opened the box.

mine's smooth as a baby's behind, not that i'm feeling baby's behind's

Haha.

Hope you work in the medical field, else your knowledge about the pill makes me wonder

Just checked mine, and it does feel like there is a bit of a rise over the blue LED backlit "Axe-FX III" logo, as if the clear plastic lens is slightly thicker than the panel it is inserted in, and the translucent clear plastic over that and the rest of the meters and around the knobs, buttons, and screen (oh my!) is pushed out a couple thousanths of an inch.

Same with mine.

I’m picturing that scene from American Pie. Just instead of the warm apple pie, there’s an AxeFx III.

Ok, I finally got around to fondling my Axe Fx after spending an hour just happily enjoying my Tweed Twin preset. I didn't find any bumps... Flat as a board.

That’s it - I am mailing support. Time for them to have some fun at my expense

But, it’s an expensive investment. One’s gotta make sure it’s perfect

I’ve just been unlucky with the last batch of orders though.

My first AXE FX III with FC12 arrived about 2 weeks ago. The box was severely damaged. Wasn’t sure if there was anything wrong with the fractal or not, but the alignment of the body was completely off. One side was way up, the other was way down.
Then, the first time I switched on my FC 12 - one of the display strips refused to turn on.
Both returned and replaced and when I got the new AXE - it came back all freezing and then wet because of the condensation.

The support guys have been awesome till now though. Not sure how they’ll handle this one though.

While we're on the subject of the logo, does anyone else find it too bright? I've covered mine up with blue-tac because it was so dazzling I couldn't see what I was doing. An option do dim or disable it would be nice, I do have quite poor sight though.

 

[APOGEE123]

no bumps here

I had to dim the high beam light in my car for the same reason. I used a couple bits of scotch tape colored with a blue Sharpie for that, but it is fairly small. Maybe a small rectangle of window tint would work?

Just got a reply from the support. They said nothings wrong with the unit - its probably the adhesive, but they are willing to swap the unit!

The fractal guys are genuinely the best!!

They need to wear gloves if you send that unit back.

That's a good idea, but I think I'll keep it covered, it really is very bright to my eyes. Thanks though.
