So it's almost 3am, and I can't sleep, that's what you get for working at 5:30 in the morning everyday. I was in the fractal room all day yesterday. the featured device was the Axe-8, I heard it all day. You should have seen the expression on everyone's face, when they start to play this thing. It was the same expression, that you had when you opened your Axe-fx for the first time, and played your first chord. You realized that you just had an experience that was pure bliss. You would think that you would be sacrificing something when you play this device, you just don't. I will make a huge prediction here, once you can freely purchase it, you will all have one for sure. Save your pennies folks, and no need to look anywhere else, you will not be disappointed after you get this home.
One thing I am afraid of though.
there is going to be so many Axe-8 owners out there that our community is going to grow exponentially, I just hope they get a bigger forum server...;-)
I play churches, that's what I have done for the last 22 yrs, this is going to make my life so much easier, I can just have my stage movers, I'm not sure what else to call them, pick up my floor board after I play, and I will be in my car, heading home before the preacher says welcome, please introduce yourself to your neighbor in the third service. I know it's a win, win. I'm not sacrificing tone or feel, and I'm playing my best and I'm serving, I think I have all my bases covered.
When I was talking to Javier, he was like a little school kid, he said just think of the fly dates that I can do with this thing. I can see this thing making his touring life so much easier, when he flys.
these are random thoughts.
I'm already thinking, who's the best company to make a bag for this thing. Mono bags I'm talking to you. Get working on it.
Ps. Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
I want to say thanks to the Fractal team, I had a blast hanging out with them yesterday, I kept saying thanks for letting me hang out. This is the third time that I have gotten to just hang out and talk to everyone for an extended period of time. If you ever get a chance to do this, I suggest you make an effort to show up to one of these things. It's worth the effort to get to know the people behind the company you love to talk about. You find out early on, that are just like you pashonet about guitar and making a better mouse trap. They are not secretive, or stand offish in any way. They want to know, how you use it and want to know how much you love it.
i'm heading back home today, after I take my wife to the beach. If you can make it down and fill the seat that I vacated, please let people know why you love your Axe-fx.
peace out.
