So i picked up an axe fx recently and i love it.

My one complaint is its understated utilitarian cosmetics. I am an aesthetics guy and this box just looks like an fn VCR .

I know its not something to really complain about but I needed to find a negative about the unit, lol.

The manual says the front faceplate is aluminum and anodized, why black cliff???

It could be any cool color or even buyers choice of a few.

I saw a pic of a prototype axe that was gold once. :confused:

Just saying...

I know its ridiculous but I can't help it, every time I look at it I shake my head, even the knobs are ugly but I'll swap those in no time. Maybe that will be enough for me.
 
Oh dear... You're not sleeping with your axe already, are you??

It's alright, I undersstand. In my case, I'm cool with it. But if you wanna bling out yer Axe, knock yer socks off m'man. Get some chrome buttons, some diamond encrusted trim, see if you can hang in lowere in the rack, Compton style :lol: :LOL:

I am laughing because I know what you mean. I was underwhelmed by it's appearance too. :)
 
Oh no my first Facepalm!

Ive been discussing swarovski crystal with the fiancee, lol!

Of course im sleeping with her, have you spun her around to look at her rear and all of the input jacks available, hell, you can even shove a plug into an output jack! ;)
 
you could probably commission some crazy paint job from someone , or put stickers all over it

it does remind me of those oldschool military satellite phones you see in some films or maybe even early laptops

I like the simple, straightforward looks of the Axe FX, but I've always been a minimalist.

Me too. Gives a more professional look.

Though I do agree, the VHT and Soldano rack stuff looks SEXY! Especially in Purple.
 
Build a false head shell with face plate and all. I was tempted to do that. Just make it so the face plate swings open. With the lack of knobs it's not really an adjust on the fly unit anyway. So, having it covered really is of no consequence. ;)
