I will not go on all the characteristics of the machine are a very good and the other in almost unlimited quantity.

UTILIZATION

The big black dot multi-effects to my senses. I had a number, Boss GT5, POD XT Live, cranks which I even remember the brand ... and always the same edition of the effects is still very complex (except POD).
I'm not the type to spend hours to create me a sound and this side is the axis does not disappoint me.
Firstly unlike almost everything else on the market, the presets are not bad (not all obviously but many are exploited with little or no mods)
I started creating sounds directly above and finally, despite what I thought, even with the small screen, this is very simple. It has more of a PC-based editing software to manage everything (even if it's becoming increasingly common, I think it is a most compelling).

The manual is not great but at least exist in French. I read diagonally anyway because of the ease of editing.

SOUND QUALITY

I use an amp with the axis Atomic FR Fractal created in partnership with the axis, a crank FCB 1010 (which did not need to be configured: recognized on) and various guitars (see my stuff) .

The quality of the effects is impressive. Limit was hard to believe that it is possible to have a sound like that at home.
The most amazing to me is the delay that can last endlessly with clarity. You quickly find themselves with a boiled sound with this kind of effect is not there. It intends to each note.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for ten months and I am far from regretting my purchase. I do it again without hesitation.

Another advantage of product inputs XLR outputs. Not useful for everyone but personally I am using that does that. There is a real difference in sound when you plug the amp in jack or XLR.

The price is far from accessible to everyone and the method of distribution does not help (available only in Germany but the G66 guys are pros and super cool) but I really prefer to wait to buy equipment such as why buy me a Boss for example.

The product becomes a sacred reference to my senses. It is now used by Petrucci, Vai, Marty Friedman, Dweezil Zappa, ....
