the axe-fx is overrated - and for $2,000 - the above recommendation is much more reasonable at the volumes you will be playing

It could be the guys with the clips you've heard, could be your speakers, could be your environment, could be your ears....just rest assured that something, somewhere, isn't dialed in right.
A few people have been impressed with the newest Amplitude release. I've heard some pretty decent clips from guitar rig 4. I played the GR4 demo and although 30 minutes simply isn't long enough to demo the thing, I thought it had potential. Dollars to dollars, they sound as good as the Axe-FX.nbarts":cmr83qrl said:
Make no mistake, spend 1-2-4-8-12 months tweaking and learning and you'll have it sounded better than any real amp.nbarts":170ehrit said:

Im curious if youve owned one? With some tweaking the unit is amazing and well worth it for what nbarts needs it for. If youve owned one then great your intitiled to your opnion but ive come to the conclusion that hating the axe fx has become a common thread on this forum, And i think its Bullshit as most of the people that rag on it wont give it the light of day. Its a amazing unit but some people like to read forums and make judgements then to try stuff out themselves.

ive played one.
tweaking is not what i enjoy for one, secondly it has no balls, punch, thump, rattle the organs in your chest/make you say wow, and 3 - i didnt like the feedback from it - the give and take a regular tube preamp has when moderately cranked. it felt like i was playing a modeler, which ironically is exactly what it is. not only do you have to spend countless hours dialing in modeled tones that sound great, it still "felt" like i was playing my vypyr, only with more menues, more choices, and better modeling tone - but also $1600 more expensive. i dont believe the tonal difference is worth it by a long shot.
why would i make such a strong judgement without playing one? at $2,000 my expectations bar and critiquing level goes sky high. like i said before, it is grossly overrated on this forum. it is good at modeling, and that is all it is good at. nothing else...

the punch you describe, and the punch i look for, is much much different. low end it has, punch it does not. it both sounded and felt like a modeler.
YMWV. almost everyone here on the forum disagrees with my opinions on amplifiers. its nothing i am not used to. but until you've experienced playing an amplifier that is tight as teen pussy that makes you work for every note - its hard to want anything else. ask killertone about his EP and im sure he will tell you the same - his amplifier is the punch and tight-low end i am talking about. you cannot sit here and tell me the axe-fx can do that in spades, because i have played one and know better. at $2,000 - its an overpriced yet well-designed modeling preamplifier.
at this point each persons views on it are each persons views. i played one - dislike it greatly for its price and what it can do.

2-3 months for me. I read the online manual, beginner tips, much of the wiki page, and browsed the Fractal forum before the amp arrived. I tried out, meaning tweaked, tweaked, mixed IRs, and tweaked some more for the whole time I owned it. I agree with just about everything he wrote.shred-o-holic":2jtpxoki said:
