So the first batch of Axe-Fx II's sold out in 90 seconds!

[Valtiel]

I have gone to Cliff's shop a few times when I bought an axe and to check out his Atomic stuff, he was always super cool and very nice. Owning a company like that where you have to wear every hat is a pretty daunting task and his customers are a bit fanatical. Its is easy to say oh just hire a PR/shipping or whoever person, but hiring the right person and also finding the budget are another thing all together. The guys probably already works more hours in a week than most do in two. He invented a pretty amazing product and I just cut him some slack. I would have told those people to fuck off even sooner LOL.

I don't doubt all of that for a second, the guy is obviously incredibly dedicated, just has a short fuse it seems.

The axe-fx is a great product, I used a standard for over a year. I didn't care for the way they announced and are releasing the axe-fx II. I sold my standard, thinking of buying an Ultra or maybe the axe-fx II. I ended up getting a digitech gsp1101 and a new amp head. Fractal audio is off my radar for good now it seems. My guess is their competition is right around the corner, there's bound to be another competing product sooner or later....I'll wait it out, happy with my rig for now anyway.

I don't blame him one bit. He has been working all weekend until very late working on orders because the company producing the chasis had an issue. The man literally works crazy hours so that he can keep his product american made, which is something he believes in and also ensures quality products. The amount of people on that forum who just spewed unintellectual hatred and nonsense blew my mind. There are 500 people on that forum at a time just complaining and whining while he is also answering peoples personal questions and trying to help. This event is going to change how he handles product launches in the sense that instead of trying his damndest to get us something early, he's going to do what all the big companies do and probably introduce a new product at Namm/NY Amp show - and then say it will be released 8-12 months from the shows date. He's not wrong in saying that he has enough units to cover the demand, he does, it just has to be handled like this so they can ship them out in a timely fashion.

I feel bad because he is the only person I can think of that runs a company we care about that I even know their name, let alone get responses and whitty posts on the forum and I love that about FAS. Some people think he's a dick, I think he sounds like any of my drinking buddies haha. Also a lot of times dumb questions deserve dumb answers.

he should just kill that forum for a month. he doesn't need that foolishness if he's trying to sort out new product bugs and distribution.

He should restrain himself from talking to his customers...

He has - ever since the other day, he has stopped posting. It's sad that he should have to do that.

There is a guy who posted on the fractal forum this morning that he actually missed his friends wedding yesterday just to stay in front of the computer refreshing the screen trying to get one of these things.....unbelievable!

Thats disgusting. People need to realize its a guitar product, you're really going to pull your hair out and ruin your life for a month or two waiting to get this thing as soon as possible? Especially since most of the people still have their perfectly good Ultras!

I, on the other hand, get to lounge back and sip on some lemonade as I watch the madness ensue thanks to Brad and the boys at Tone Merchant's pre order

That is his stupidity, not Fractals.

Fractal/Cliff have stubbed their toe more than once during all of this, but the behavior of some people is ridiculous.

That had to be a joke, and if not I'm speechless.
