Reasons to buy an axe fx: - no worries about changing tubes - connect to anything - awesome tone - no mics and cabs wanted - easy to record with - smaller than an actual amp and cab - many other things.......

So you’re assuming everyone who thinks he has a bad tone doesn’t understand how mixing works..and here’s the kicker, you’re assuming you do understand it. You’re mistakenly thinking that a good live tone must be a bad solo tone, which is typically what you hear from novices, who learned a thing or two and suddenly think they know everything. But it doesn’t matter either way because his tone is kind of terrible live and solo.

When I got mine, I had been playing a Mesa Dual Rectifier for years, and before that various JCM-800 models and modified heads. So, I consciously decided that I was going to find a way to hate the Axe FX. And I worked at it - for weeks. Finally, during one tweaking session, where I was comparing the Boogie to the Axe, I got confused for a second and didn't realize that I was connected to the Axe, and it sounded so much like the Boogie, that I thought I had the other patch connected. But more importantly - it felt like the Boogie. And that was it - I sold all my tube heads and cabs. And I got stereo out of it to boot, which is amazing in and of itself. And I've gotten a lot of compliments on my sound from other musicians.

Just goes to show how much thought and care actually went into this product and video by both Syn and Fractal. In short, great video. I'm definitely gonna be checking this out now.

@@ttguitarnoob I KNOW. Like, HTTK was relatively basic playing especially for Syn. And Nightmare has some pretty tough ones, but nothing extremely mind blowing, although how he plays things and the context makes them sound mindblowing even if the playing isn't as complicated as The Stage. Like, he had some amazing Sweep Picking, solo and rythym chops, but in The Stage, he like, releases his inner self and just explodes, everything is super mindblowing and jaw dropping, like, Dream Theater level. And he also has a TON of emotion. He is basically a guitar god. He was kinda just held back with the last albums because he was a more jazzy player and that didn't really fit anywhere, now he is released into his natural creative habitat. Don't get me wrong again tho, his playing has been outstanding since City Of Evil, but with The Stage, he soars to a new level.

Actually $2499 which is still pretty steep shop.fractalaudio.com/Axe_Fx_III_p/fas-026.htm You can find some pretty good deals on a used Axe Fx2 XL or one of Fractal Audio's floor based effects processors such as the Ax8 for $1100 or Fx8 for $900. I get your point completely but will say this about the Fractal Audio gear. Once you have owned one of their units its kind of hard to go back to owning individual pedals and making it all work seamlessly. With the Ax8 in particular you can switch from one amp to another instantly and add any effects you want without having to drop $150 to $200 plus just for an individual pedal not to mention the various scenes that you can switch to within a given preset. For guys who just want to plug in, dial in a damn great sound and be off and running I don't think it can be beat. For those who like to endlessly tweak their sound, any parameter can be tweaked to the nth degree. What Fractal has definitely done is raise the bar for all of these other manufacturers to improve as well. For guys who are tube amp purists all I will say is that its gotten as close to tube as it can probably get. It doesn't move air like standing in front of a tube amp but if you're playing with in ear monitors the sound is just so damn inspiring and consistent. This technology has definitely grown by leaps and bounds and will continue to do so in the future.

Yeah but its 3000 (2499) for a product that allows you to do anything you want. A lot of guitar players own just a pedalboard that cost them the same or even more when you consider changing pedals, cables, power bricks, swithing systems to navigate in an easy way, and that's before talking about amps that costs quite much if you want a high end one. Now you tell me if after this you would still think that 2499$ for a unit that covers everything, is expensive. I've sold all my gear for axe fx ii at the time and I have much more flexibility, better tones, easy and clean recording ability, I can take it anywhere and sound the same and with the money I saved I bought the guitar I could only dream of while having the analog gear.

Hey Vsauce Robbery Here I'm sorry but that's just not correct. Most people, not including professionals, who like playing guitars for fun, would spend lots of money on their rig. They will spend it on pedals and than replace them with better ones, and so on. You can find many many high end pedals like stryomin, eventide etc on pedalboards today and they cost like 500-600$ each, people are haivng stupidly big rack units or to amps and in total they spend the sams or more money over they years. Fractal allows you to spend this amount of money once and than you just done with seeking for new pedals or amps and focus on your playing.

I don't care if the emulations sound like the "real thing". If the modeling in the AXE FX sounds good, then it's good. It doesn't need to be exact to sound good. I can't afford the AXE FX III but I wish to get it someday. It's a lot better than buying multiple amp heads and pedals whenever I want a different sound. To me, AXE FX doesn't sound plasticky at all. Believe me when I say it, I know how plasticky emulations sound.

Syn has really aged well, playing wise...................one of the greats of his era, I remember when they were first out....................ground breaking ! Axe-fx is amazing, and less money than a mesa stack and a dozen pedals. Rush, has been using these as digital back-ups for the H & k's for years and Alex can't tell the difference either. My main rig has 2 line 6 bogner hd 100's and I love them, guy's laugh at me, until they hear my sound, power is tubes, but fx are digital, programmable and very reliable, I own many heads and these are still my favorite cuz they do everything. I use a sonic max too. But the future is digital, tubes suck and I will be switching over to axe. This is the golden era, for gear !

The interesting thing though about 'limits" is that some of the best work comes from artist having to bash their heads against a wall and having to pull the answer from your butt to break the limits.

@@michaelangeloh.5383 Yes yes, I have no doubt about it! I just don't like this preset but I have always been tempted by the Axe fx2 and recently by the ax8! I jumped between tubes (marshall), digital (pod hd500x), tubes again (h&k grandmeister deluxe40) and now I feel fine but I also bought the atomic aplifire and would like to replace everything with and Ax8. I've got some pedals too (8 now) and like them all but still i don't feel complete 100% xD So to say, i love fractal products but this rythm and lead are not my favourite at all ;)

I always thought Tube Amps and Analogue FX are the way to go, like Digital Modelling would never catch up. But look around you how freakin far technology has come, just in the last decade or so. I think this is gonna be the Future of Guitar Amps, as much as i still love my Mesa Amps, the Axe FX is simply more versatile and convenient.
