"Well, what can I say?! ...the Axe-Fx has further gone to show that you have developed a truly AWESOME piece of equipment!
"No doubt you will have heard the comments before but the response and realism of the unit replicates the interaction achieved when playing through a great valve amp superbly. I have never come across another piece of digital equipment that posesses this quality, coupled with a stack of extremely musical high end effects, total flexibility and multiple user changable parameters. This Unit Really Stands Out From The Crowd."
Neil Arkwright, BluZone Distribution UK
"This unit was a staple in my rack for the Reborn tour. Most of the special fx you heard in the show were programed on this unit!! It is a piece worth checking out!!"
Kenny Lewis, MIxed Emotions Studio, FOH Soundman for Stryper
"I spent the weekend learning the interface and making my own patches. I just want to say-WOW! You have really made a monster of a processor with the Axe-Fx!
"...the amps and cabs are all very usable and sound as real as I can imagine considering that the sound is coming from a PA speaker. I was very impressed with the decay of the notes- they have such beautiful harmonic content and it never sounds grainy as the sound fades out.
"... Keep up the great work."
Paul E., Greensville OH
The Axe-Fx from Fractal Audio Systems is a breakthrough in guitar effects processing. Advanced processing algorithms and unprecedented computing power offer not only the sound, but the FEEL of a real tube amp. Our Dynamic Response Technology™ accurately simulates the varying frequency response of an overdriven tube amplifier. Unlike conventional tube modelers where the frequency response is static, Dynamic Response Technology™ gives the guitarist a true dynamic experience.
A 500 MHz, dual-core processor equips the Axe-Fx with more raw compute power than many desktop computers. Able to process 2 Billion floating-point instructions per second, nothing even comes close to the power of the Axe-Fx. Enough power to run 10 super-high quality effects simultaneously (typically 12 or more depending upon effect resource requirements).
In addition to the best amp/cabinet simulation the Axe-Fx provides the finest reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, etc. etc. The unprecedent procssing power of the Axe-Fx allows studio quality procssing in a portable, rack-mountable chassis. No cheesy stuff here, just clean, clear, pristine effects.
Graphic Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) unit makes routing and editing easy and intuitive. No cryptic menus, or single line alphanumeric displays to contend with. Real-time monitoring of controlled parameters is also provided.
Up to 16 parameters can be controlled in real-time via any combination of external or internal controllers: eight external controllers , two LFO's, two ADSR generators, envelope follower, pitch follower, eight-stage sequence generator. Unique modifier function allows mapping of control values to parameter with many different curves.
Top-of-the-line, 24-bit Cirrus Logic® converters assure signal purity. Our proprietary analog front end features no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path, only high-quality film types. The output signal path likewise has no electrolytic capacitors. High-performance Analog Devices® op-amps are used in all signal paths. All this adds up to an extremely low noise floor (better than -105 dB).
