What do you think? Does anybody here has an Axe Fx?
Shit not me. I wouldn't know what to do with that thing. I still use a Digi Tech RP1
They are all the rage right now. Supposed to be absolutely kickass in many many ways. The modern day equivalent of my SGX-2000. I wanted my SGX because it had all the digital FX available back in the 90s plus it has a 12AX7 in the preamp section for actual tube-ness.
The Axe-FX also has the current state-of-the-art amp and speaker cab modeling, and a bazillion other features. No need for me to copy and paste the stuff here.
It has no tubes, though. They have 'simulated' tube technology built into it.
Retails for $2199??? Christ.....that is way overpriced. Even discounted it would still be 1500 bucks. One could buy a 100-watt half-stack of some kind, and some less expensive FX and get the same results.....for a lot less.

Yeah my SGX is 15-20 years old now. I think they quit making them in the late 90s-early 2000s, but they began making them by 1991 at the latest. When you get a unit like this with the unlimited possibility for creating your ultimate guitar sound, it becomes even less necessary to upgrade to anything else.
The Axe-FX II would surely be a significant upgrade to the SGX, but between my SGX and the plugins I have for my DAW, I already have all the possible sounds I will ever need.
Be nice if I were rich and could just buy one on a whim as a toy to play with I suppose.
Now you can get all those features on your smart phone.
Who knows, maybe a company releases in the near future a native plugin (Amp Modelling) for DAWs on the same quality level like the Axe Fx...
Now that would be sweet!
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
