Sometimes you have just got to GET 'THAT' TUBE AMP TONE that you have heard so many times; remember, only a tube amp
will give you EXACTLY what you are looking for... REAL Tube Amp Tone. Get the real thing - you know it makes sense!
For completely UNBIASED Reviews of Music Equipment of Axe FX III Fractal Audio video: Tony Mckenzie
Ah yes the Axe-FX II and III reviewed showing the facts
as independently reviewed and as you should really see, but sadly the harassment
from a company
that claimed it had the ownership of the 'Trade Mark' for 'Fractal Audio' and
was a total lie, then they tried hard to take this domain from me was not in
the least funny. Being ridiculed by the Fractal Audio owner was another story...
and their so called 'fan boys' basically used threats to get my reviews
off-line. Seems I had something to show that they did not want known and were
somehow frightened about it all. Well, at least I tried!
Over the years Fractal Audio never seemed to like
truthful reviews, and of course when I showed welding on the Axe FX II that was
rather like
pigeon manure, and that the on off switch was 'glued in place' with some
substance to stop it falling out, well that did not help their cause I guess.
Let's face it the Fractal Audio devices I looked at were
highly priced, and there is absolutely the want to receive a great unit for that
extra high cost
that those unit's are either in the USA or in Europe. There are many that (with
free gear and their promotion) will tell you just how great the
equipment is, but can you really believe people that are in some way sponsored
by the very maker that they are spouting about 'how great' the
equipment really is? It's an age old problem that exists to this day.
Now of course you have the Fender Tone Master Pro that
has 'the most powerful' processor in ANY equipment of this type and that now
blows away the Fractal 'old nut' about it being the most powerful and 'the last
one you will ever need' I think they said in their literature
back in 2012 and onwards, although I think they dropped that one these days.
Today they prefer to rant on about their 'Turbo' mode,
but sadly for them, that still does not make their equipment the most powerful
any longer. Good. It's time that other companies came along and smashed the
almost vertical monopoly of the simulated amps
and I am sure that will continue long in to the future. NOTHING is the same
since covid!
Well I'm sure that as we continue to move forward with
equipment that simulates guitar amplifiers and other devices, that one of
these days someone will come along and completely 'clone' the Fractal Audio
devices and then you can have the
Fractal Audio yped tones for, well, three pence... or less as a free download
from somewhere... rock on!
