Hey All, I too, like everyone else, am drooling over the AXE II. What saddens me is the seeming dissatisfaction over the old models being discontinued or that someone just bought an ULTRA and they are feeling screwed over. STOP WHINING! Do you call Microsoft and go "Hey how come I cant buy a new computer with Windows XP? This is an outrage blah blah blah"?? When Line 6 discontinued the XT pedal and put out the HD line did anyone go "Hey I didn't hear about this with enough time otherwise I would have bought it before it was gone?" No. No one did this.
Now onto Fractal Audio. A small company with a big product. I cant see how anyone is mad that they aren't making any Standards or Ultras...The Standard has been out for 4 or 5 years it seems...thats a really long shelf life for guitar gear based on computer software/hardware. I have a standard and there is an Ultra and now a AXE II...guess what...my standard still rules. It still beats almost everything out there. If you arent happy with the AXEII and how Fractal is marketing it (seems with the rabid die hards they have done quite well with marketing) seriously go buy a Line 6 product and shut up. Every post these days seems to be a complaint or has a whiny reply...GET OVER IT! WELCOME TO CAPITALISM!
Am I the only one who sees how sad the complainers are? Let the hate begin!
