@Stratster68 Nope, don't work for Avid, I worked through several dozen updates (version 6 - 10.01) then you would see I didn't write it off after a 15 minute sniff. I work in a pro studio, and play for a living.... and I spent years tweaking, recording & touring with it. The effects are very good, (what John and Vai use it for) I'll give Cliff full marks there, my comment related to the ability to recreate a real amp-which it falls short of. Full marks for maturity in name calling lol.

@xMACx982 Axe-Fx is sterile, and junk compared to a real amp. I owned one and did updates from version 6 to 10.01..... Boy I am glad I dumped this POS

Will this unit change patches via midi without that little gap of silence like some of the others do? Will the delay spill over when you change patches?

Thanks and great video!

@bossgtdiez10 Best multi-FX I've ever played as far as amp models goes is my Zoom G9.2tt. I use it inside the four-cable method (guitar>pedal>preamp>pedal>pow­eramp) with a Peavey Classic 50 and I haven't encountered but one or two sounds I couldn't get quite right. It's a magician in a box. Sounds JUST like the amps, too. I've fooled everyone with that rig.

[MrPeeweep]

this is a total POS.

[wickedwizardofspeed]

this sounds like shit if you run it through just about anything. if you run it direct into your computer (like he should have done.) it will sound tight. any amp ever will drastically change the tone of the eleven rack. just use it with pro tools for videos. thats kind of the purpose.

[imbaguitar]

Hi, what are you running into right now? like speakers? or your amp?

[hawg427]

Mitch,

When you use the Eleven Rack as a computer console are you using the physical unit or are you using the software? I guess this softwre is Mac & Windows both?

[bossgtdiez10]

ANYTHING DIGITAL CAN'T EVER REPLACE THE GOOD OLD TRU SOUND ANALOG. THAT'S WHY I USE A GIGRIGPRO14!(one word) all the flexability of a digital mulieffect with the sound of analoge!!!

@HedgeHogRon

Well, I am not one of the cry babies. I am a player 30+ years and to hear a "supposedly" pro player call the Axe FX Ultra a POS that is is ridiculous and childish. And could never be the statement from a real player. Enuff, I am done. You cannot backstep on your childish satement. bye forever

[HedgeHogRon]

@Stratster68 yawn, NOPE just tired of all the Axe-Fx wannabe's slamming every other piece of gear out there-like the eleven.. All the Axe-Fx users can dish it out, and slam everything else, but you get upset and have a cry when your sacred cow is called junk... One awesome benefit of the Axe-Fx hype is ppl ditching their good gear in lemming mentality, as witnessed on TheGearPage which is great because I get to buy it all pretty cheap-AND have better tone!!!!

@HedgeHogRon

I think you are full of it. I have to wonder if you are even a player . To say it's a POS is nothing a real player would say. Ever. Say you don't like it, it's not for you. That would be fine-your opinion. And I called you a jerk-on't really think that's so over the top. Your statement was either a lie or just pure lack of knowledge and experience.

Go away please
