if only frank zappa had one of these

[Socioistic]

Call me old fashioned, but I would much rather have an actual rig with actual analog pedals, and amps, not digital boxes that emulate the real thing.

Lol. I wouldn't Cal Dwezzil one dimensional. The guy was taught by every guitar player that made a impact on modern music. He's a beast.

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green

I was thinking the same thing! Just take a look at TriviumCrusader's channel and you will affirm that he is indeed that stupid.

[Socioistic]

@FreeOnGuitars

What an observation.

[FreeOnGuitars]

@Socioistic You're old fashioned.

[tweekin001]

@Socioistic What if you get the same result in a smaller package, old fashioned?

[MrUltraworld]

Frank would have gone nuts over this. Adrian Belew is all over it as well.I didn't care for it. I know it's very sophisticated, but $2600.00 + $750 for the controller and lord knows what for those expression pedals? Too rich for my blood. It just took away the feel of my rig. Maybe it's too perfect?

[SeanAsheOfficial]

@Socioistic I get the Axe FX II tomorrow, and I already have a Mesa Boogie Mark V? Which one would I rather have if given the choice? The Axe FX. It doesn't weigh 50+ pounds, the axe fx has something like 300 channels? 70 amps. it's insane haha

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@TriviumCrusader17 Dude, that's Frank Zappa's son. LMAO!!!! You can't be that stupid, right?

[immortalsoloist]

I know one thing for a fact my Axe Fx Ultra kills the new Line 6 Pod HD. As for the II it's on another level. Do yourself a favor and actually go out there and test it out.

[TriviumCrusader17]

Ugh they never has versatile guitar players demoing these things. 90% of the time it's just the same old jazzy/bluesy style or like corny neoclassical shit. I want to see a guitar player show me that this thing is for everyone (which it is) in a demo. Most guitar players cling to the style they love and never explore elsewhere. Good guitar players learn everything they can and APPLY it to the style they love. Such a versatile amp with next to no versatile players showing it off.
