All existing effects are available, mixable ... ca stops only the imagination of the guitarist.

The Axe edit software provided allows the wildest settings rack model.

Fully digital technology, a plethora of connection even if we expected no less.

UTILIZATION

We can play with by simply plugging into a guitar amp and browsing among the presets. But frankly, it's like using a rolls royce to go to post.

Through the screen, as it is treated, the interface is correct, but it is only if accompanied by a PC that can really enter comfortably in all imaginable possibilities.

The manual is neat. Sometimes a bit elliptic on some features, but like many things today, it's with the help of the net, forums, and videos that teach you more.

The edition is accompanied by a relatively simple PC.

SOUND QUALITY

One important thing, little said about this wonder:

paste on a vox amp, or marshall, as good as it does no interest, rendering sound goes from good to very commonplace.

No, as we do not put diesel in a rolls royce, it will demand a sound equipment at the height of his lunatic capacity: a home studio amp worthy of the name, especially a pair of speakers / en, which restiturons in the clearest way possible modeling.

Before you say "this is crunch blah / such distortion is average" sure you can test it in conditions that merit, it is not an HD pod or a Vox ToneLab is the veritrable pro gear studio .

A world separates the return of basic equipment as the real stuff. The modelisation are just perfect in my opinion, of breathtaking fidelity on all points. Go to really find something, let's say a few modeling clean sound cold, but it is hack correctly for what you want.

While investment extends the bill drastically, but the game is worth the candle, all the operations will exceed your wildest dreams.

I use it with my gibson pricipalement, sometimes with a gretsch when I just want the "blueser" a little. the differences are significant.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 8 months. I went directly to small simulation of effects like zoom, has a long pod economy to materialize this purchase after testing with a friend.

how not to love everything on this machine .... If, however, a Bb software for monitoring audio fractal.

SHIFT are all concrete and provide insane amount of upgrade, some things are a little spot in this idyllic picture:

reconaissance of the USB driver for win 8 is sometimes complicated, if not impossible in some cases. For use with Win XP or 7 not to be bothered. The axis edit remains in beta, fractal no precipitate is to stabilize all this.

Do not worry, it's still widely used, but freeze or stops unwanted software exist even if it is rare.

Rather greedy also a resource, do not count recycle your old laptop from 1999 to dedicate the axis, you snatch the hair .... lots of RAM and a dual core processor minimum.

The price is certainly a deterrent, especially with the full enclosure. This is a choice ... 12000 buy pedals or 50 different amp, or try all possible, simulation and sell as and measure because it does not please me / or new comes out, I made my choice: buy wholesale once and be able to make the most for years.

I do not regret anything. All who come to try my gear leave with shining eyes, foaming at the lips and one idea, to want to pay a ...
