I just got a call from Andy , really nice to see how they are concerned.
Probably my unit got damaged during transport , the fan noise is caused by the fans running in high speed mode (which is not normal). They will send me a new unit when the new batch is finished. They never had this weird malfunction so they are eager to get their hands on this one to see what's wrong. The case had a nick and a foam layer inside was indeed cracked. So I'm just unlucky I guess. Anyway they really helped me out , called in the evening so I cannot blame them , just the carriers who can throw stuff that ony weight 5 kg ...
So thumbs crossed for al other units while they're on the way ...
Too bad I have to wait a few weeks :cry

Hi,
Just loaded my GT 800FX here in Toronto. LIFT OFF ! lol
Observations,
1) Reallllllly Loud, Compared to my DCML200 it is monsterous. I have not gotten it to full load yet I am sure, Wife is waaaay pissed already.
2) Fan Noise ? Not really audible for me, no issue with Fans, so far.
3) Sound, Very Full, I loaded it before the 11.0 update for a "Before and After" I have two changes working here so a lot to identify. But the FULLNESS seems better to me. Crushing on Das Metal amp.
4) Shipping and handling, communications, superb. Item arrived in perfect condition, right on time.
5) Icing on the cake ? The Little RED leds that make it look like a Tube amp, LOL See picture.
More Eval to come, So far very pleased.

Hey, now that the Axe-Fx II has been released... does this mean that Matrix will release a GT800FX II...?:twisted
Well it kind of is already! XT800 into the GT800!!
Just gotta say, it sounds great. Just tried it using the 12GA50's and gone is the boominess I used to get, feedback is blooming nicely instead of just resonating. Bottom end a lot more open and harmonics are breaking through nicely. Will try and get some vids done asap!
Matrix at home, me at work.
Something doesn't seems right to me heheheh
Is she watching this forum?![]()
