I've been eye'ing one of these bad boys off for about a year now (back when they were US$2800) and I am yet to meet anyone who actually uses one ... and, turns out, our favorite'est of all favorites uses one!
Devy, If you ever get a chance to read this, could you answer me a few questions about the unit? They're fairly basic questions, ones that could be answered if Fractal Audio distributed to Australia (but they don't) so no-one has, or knows anyone who has, one of these units for me to freakin' play!
1. Is it really what everyone says? I mean .. all I hear is that it's absolutely f***ing unreal, and you even call it electrifying and alien.. How does it compare to other things like the Line 6 units such at the pod series??
2. How does it go live? I run through a Mesa 20:20 from a PodX3 and i'm content, I mean I can do all the dirty work like signal splitting and running in stereo and blah blah blah .. and I usually mic it up live, but I hear the Axe can basically plug straight into the P.A. and sound infinitely better than the X3.. If this is the case, I will probably jizz my pants because the X3 doesn't sound that great (for some reason) when I model my speaker cab (4x12 mesa) and the SM57... maybe Line 6 are crappy? ..maybe i'm a noob at teh modellingz?
3. Do you model your live tone using this? (I just saw you in Sydney and your tone was tight, so if that's what I can expect from an axe, I'll buy one, basically).
4. Would it allow me to control the temperature of the sun?
Basically, what I wanna know (and I don't care how brief) is if you think it's worth the money to invest in this?
