The Axe-Fx was a game changer for us both live and in the studio. The new model takes it to an unprecedented level of realism and control. This is beyond modeling or effects processing... this is the new standard for guitarists.

The Axe-Fx completely and forever changed the way I look at guitar processing. The new model takes everything I love about the old one to the next level. All of the FX sound richer and the new interface makes it even easier to use. My rig has a new openness and clarity and sounds so much better as a result.

The new Axe-FX has all the functionality and tonal quality of the old model, and then some. The introduction of the original Axe-FX unit into the pantheons of guitar FX processors was akin to the invention of the wheel. The new unit is like having four wheels and racing into the abyss.

The new Axe-Fx made my head spin. Amazing amp feel and endless tone. It truly is a quantum leap… a major milestone in guitar technology.

The Edge

The Edge

The Edge is known for his signature sound—a combination of musical elegance, exquisite core tone, and innovative effects—especially echo. For him to trust this illustrious sonic asset to the Axe-Fx expresses that it meets his exacting needs, but also demonstrates that this guitarist is a veritable force at the forefront of both music and technology. We're proud that he chose to be listed here.

Keith Urban

Keith Urban’s masterful guitar playing and magnetic energy are accompanied by a true dedication to great tone. It’s an honor that he is preparing to use our amp modeling in his live rig and that he chose to be listed here. We previously worked with Keith’s personal Twin to produce a cab pack and an amp model now featured in the Axe-Fx and AX8.

You’ve heard rumors about this new alien black box… Believe them! My two most recent records and live sound are direct Axe-Fx. Future now. It allows the culmination of all I’ve learned about amps and effects to happen in a single unit with uncompromised unbelievable quality and accuracy. Words fail me… and that’s rare.

The quality of all the effects is superb. There is great depth and transparency, and excellent imaging that makes listening with in-ear monitoring a wonderful aural experience. The choices are limitless and it's fully loaded with all the options you'd ever need. Take it for a test drive, you won't be disappointed.

Finally a digital panacea for guitar tone which actually works: I never thought the day would come but the sound and feel of this magic black box are so "real" that witchcraft would appear to be the only logical explanation… Most pleasing!
