I have a couple of Mesa tube heads that I really love. I run these with my Waza TAE. The sound is like nothing else. Seriously.
Over the years, I have had several Kemper units, as well as a couple of Helix units. I liked the Helix far better than the Kemper. That being said, I ordered my Axe III 2 years ago and I still have it today. I never owned a Fractal product previously so this was a big chance for me to take.
For me, it is really a special sounding unit and so powerful. Running through the same Waza unit into the return line and out to my cabinet all the while comparing back and forth between the model of the amps vs. the real thing, it sounds great. The only person that will notice the feel difference is yourself. Other than that, I have full confidence using either setup when I play live or rehearse. It's just nice to have a couple of choices. I'm more of a high gain/hard rock/metal player so the discrepancies are probably not as apparent.
The power in the III is the ease of routing, superb quality models, easy editing, amazing effects, and the multitude of adjustments you can make. This thing has so many options it is dizzying but the great thing is, you don't need to worry about option paralysis. You use what you need, keep it simple or dive deeper and keep rocking because at the end of the day, it sounds fabulous.
The folks on this forum have been super helpful anytime I have required it.
