I got my Ultra for around $1900 2-day'd to me. I forgot what the Standards are going for now... Basically, you get a 3-400 rebate off the MSRP for waiting in line.


I got my "email" yesterday that my turn has come up...along with the rebate coupon notice....think I'm going to pass :scared:

Quick update for those that care ;)

I switched out my VHT 2/50/2 for a Carvin DCM600 and MUCH prefer the tones without coloring from the el34'sw (certainly wasn't expecting that!)..so much so that my VHT is for sale ;)

Given how much I like what the Axe Fx brings to the table, I have also decided to give powered monitors a try and ordered a pair of good ones.....should be here Monday.

The more time I spend with the Axe, the better I like it.

FWIW, I don't feel like I am always lookng for a work around like I have with other modelers I have used (some of which have been quite good IMHO, but not in the same league as the Axe)


I have owned some of the best high gain amps made and don't feel like I am giving up ANYTHING using the Axe FX. With that said, I do have to learn the nuances of each sim as I start using it. They all have their unique quirks, just like the real deal.

It is astonishing how good this unit is.

Can't wait to receive my monitors so I can see if the cab sims are as good as the amp, power amp and effects...if they are, you will see me spamming my cabs soon as well. :yes:


I'm glad yer happy bud. :D

Aw man, no need for sorry (although I appreciate it ;) ) I just did a gear reduction blow out and took care of a bunch of bills, but still have an incoming Suhr Badger next week and another insane amp a few weeks out. I'm set with gear. I honestly don't think I would make the most out of that unit...I don't really have the techy knob twiddling patience required :yes:

I don't doubt its super cool though.

we need More Clips/Vids :thumbsup:


We're using my Axe-FX for part of our demo, so when things are all done, I'm definitely going to post it/
 
Short thing I just did. I used the Euro2 amp sim for the rhythm, hint of verb on it. The "lead" is the Recto 1 sim with a tube OD in front and a bit of compression as well as delay...

I am trying to make my rhythm tracks sound more open... Don't now if I did it or not?

You should sell your coupon code on Ebay. ;)

(Or you could just give it to mctallica1 since he is on the waiting list for a second one.)

If Tony gets a second one, we're gonna have to seriously talk about me checking one of them out. :thumbsup: :rock:

Not sure if I will be doing that yet, but I always have at least 2 amps....don't want any other amps right now, so I want 2 :rock: :rock:

We shall see :D
 
Oh yeah...my monitors are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow :rock:
 
Juggernaut":2miox3kv said:
very cool, which monitors did you go with?


QSC HPR 122i powered monitors....2 of them :rock:

I really hope I dig them. They are very well spoken of...it is just a HUGE departure for me.

With them in the mix, I will be able to use the cab sims on the Axe.

If I don't dig them, I will ship them back and the only thing I am out is return shipping...it was free to ship to me.
