Members Tengo Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 It came in the post today edit: this is the Ultra First things first, I cannot say enough towards how impressed I have been with the service. Immediate emails back to my questions, fantastic shipping and order tracker. Then, I open up the box this morning, which has a letter written specifically to me, letting me know the updates they have made. If that wasn't enough, to the side of the Axe-FX is a box of celebrations! I love this company! I plugged it in to my AER Alpha, as I am still waiting for the power amp for my wedge monitor and starting running through the presets. They're incredible. Really amazing. There are the occasional delay + filter + pitch shift + modulation extravaganzas, which show off the unbelievable tracking capabilities and crystal clear sound. They are interspersed between what is, for the majority, replications of classic sounds. I actually started giggling at the Whole Lotta Love imitation- it is identical. In fact, all the sounds are as close to the identity they are trying to achieve as is possible- and this is running out of a 1x8 speaker. At this point it's probably worth mentioning the power amp sim. Phenomenal. Just amazing. It really feels like I'm playing an amp. After spending around 2 hours running through some 380 presets, I start chopping up one of the few 'silly' presets, in order to create a nice, thick clean. The only difficulty with editing patches is that there is simply so much choice- around 50 parameters for an amp, for example. Whilst going through the presets, the amp sims that I thought sung particularly well were the trainwrecker sim, bassman sim, brown and blackfaces and Matchless Chieftain sim. For the moment, I have a bassman and a matchless running through some cabs, into the same Delay and Reveb and it just sounds amazing. It probably took me 15 minutes to create a really nice patch from scratch. So that is about as far as I am up to so far with it. I was quietly confident I'd be keeping hold of my Vibrolux, for some all tube action on the side and I was certain that it couldn't hold it's own with my DMM. Both are looking to be heading the way of the SPAM thread very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kid_A Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Amazing............. i would love to be able to own one, and I could get one, but that much dosh being dropped on a processor seems too much in my head. I bet it does sound the nuts though In theory, could you use this with just a power amp and speaker cab? Say a tube power amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
