I saw Brit Floyd last night and Edo was using the III and Damian was using the II. The tone was unreal!! If you closed your eyes, you would not believe it's a tribute band. I've seen them twice, but Edo was using the II last time I saw them. It seemed like Edo's tone was slightly better to my ears, which goes to the show that the III does sound better than the II given all the firmware updates. Also, they have a great front of house guy. Given we were in a small theater, the guitars were loud, yet remained crystal clear. I have seen alot of bands with tube amps, and it can be pretty painful on the ears, not in a good way, especially in the highs, and it seems like it the loudness of the amps just makes it sound garbled. This is a good example of how the AxeFx does great as a direct front of house solution and makes the sound engineer's life much easier.
