Video review of the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx

[maarten]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Well, I've been coming here for quite some time, however I never registered before. For my first post I wanted to give you some information about the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx that I've owned for over a week now. It is an amazing piece of gear! I posted a little video review on Youtube and thought you might like it. The first part of the review covers the basic features of the Axe-Fx as well as my personal evaluation of the unit. In the second part I demonstrate some of the sonic capabilities of the unit.

Part 1


Part 2a


Part 2b


Please let me know what you think of it.

Welcome to the forum, really nice review. I'm really interested in that unit, but can't afford it right now. Soon though, hopefully.

Well that was a very nice review and seems that you put some time in to it but I don't see the point for someone to judge how an amp sounds through a youtube video... If I'm not mistaken you mentioned in the video that you've recorded some samples...I'd prefer a link to those.

I've promised a guy at the Axe-fx forum to create as many "chugg-sounds" as i can with the different models in teh Axe-fx, so I'm gonna spam here too

Best first post ever! In fact, one of the best posts ever. Maarten, you are a god!

I've never even heard of Fractal Audio before, and now I want to buy one. Crazy!

Hehe so you've joined this forum too, Maarten?

Just for the rest of the people here, my Axe-FX will arrive in februari, they have a pretty big waiting list. Will post some samples too when I get it.

Thanks to all of you for the nice replies. If you're interested in the Axe Fx I suggest to take a look at the Axe-Fx forum and especially the recordings section for sound clips.

i'm receiving my axe-fx in two weeks, did some of you here converted popular impulses for this beast ? I'm thinking GH, Poidaobi etc… Thanks !

 

[TheDude]

Sure, I've tried all of them. Works just like any IR's. No problem at all.

 

[greyskull]
