Yes but I better get some cash in the bank first. If I put anything like an amp on a CC my wife will prolly smack me with a frying pan or sum'in.

So many threads about this thing its sick, good for exposure I guess. I think its a great box, but those who make it out to be the saviour of guitar tone, I just don't get, and those who think it sucks, I just don't get either.
I am somewhere in the happy middle. I still have my rack gear, and I still have the axe. Its ok if you didn't like it, and if you gave it a thorough try out, then you don't have to like it, thats whats so great about gear and our individual tastes, if we all liked the same thing, it might get plenty bland.
What I have noticed listening to company demos, and when I went through the presets, is that alot of them were overdone, using too much efx, tricky stuff and the like, nothing about pure tone. I see this in this demo video. Use of Digital wah's, harmonizers, and the like, overdone, which from what I understand, is supposed to give an idea about what it can do, but for those tone junkies, its a major turnoff as it just screams modeler and digital. I believe Fractal has thus since updated its presets..
However, if you dig in, its possible to get some nice usuabale stuff from the axe, and it can simplify alot of things

kewl
I mainly use it for direct, but if I get some time here, I will try to use it going through a cab for you
I don't think it's the same at all, I post clips of all my shit because..according to numerous folks..I A)need the back padding, B)I'm the king of self spammage, C) don't have a life...Gainfreak":14culzqu said:degenaro":14culzqu said:Why would you actually care?Gainfreak":14culzqu said:This is exactly what I heard in the room at the NY ampshow. Im just posting this because there have been people wondering why Dave and I didn't dig it. I can't answer for Dave but this is what I heard and based my decision on at the time
This is not a dig on the Axe-fx. Im only posting this because I have been getting a lot of guys asking me why I didn't like the unit when I heard it and I only had this as a referance.
There are so many post spraising the thing by people I respect so I know that this thing could probably kill, but when people start asking me a question and then thinking Im ragging on the thing just to rag on it, It kind of gets under my skin.
This is exactly what I heard at the show. Some people commented about the camera compression on youtube but this is pretty accurate of what I heard in the room.

I guess for the same reason why you post clips after people have negative things to say about the unit
In all honesty, I just wanted people to see why I said what I said about the unit.
Im pretty sure that theyre talking about carldegenaro":1qc4lpzd said:I post clips of all my shit because..according to numerous folks..I A)need the back padding, B)I'm the king of self spammage, C) don't have a life...

IMHO I dont think you need to defend anything. Fuck what other people think your reasons are for being honest about what you heard. You are not alone in your assesment. I have heard more than just you saying that he Axe doesnt live up to the all the praise and thats coming from people who have owned it.
I'm sure its a nice unit but for me I dont think it would be my cup of tea. Im not a dig into a bunch of parameters and tweak kind of guy. That said all the talk did make me wonder what it sounded like just out of curiosity but in the end Im sure it wouldnt be me and I know it wouldnt scratch my itch like a tube amp can.
Anway, there will be some who dig the Axe and defend thier purchase and there will be some who dont think it's all that and either A) keep it to themselves in order to not rain on other epople's parade or B) those who will speak opeenly and honestly about it no matter all the praise for it. You are the later and I respect you for that as much I as I respect the guy who digs it.
