Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

JOLLY

Super Simonologist
Ya know, I love my Eleven Rack that I've had for the past couple of years, but there's just something about it that's missing. It sounds great and everything, but I just can't feel/hear that sound moving per se.

Lately out of know where, I started looking up videos of the Fractal AX8, and I was really blown away.

I absolutely love my Marshall JVM 410H Full Stack with all of my heart. It is the greatest sounding amp that I have ever played through. However, my Eleven Rack (as great as it sounds) doesn't get that tone. So, I've been watching these videos of the AX8, and I've been blown away!!

It has JVM tones that sound just like my real amp, and it's just like I can hear them with the feeling of the air moving from the amp. That's something that I've been missing from the Eleven Rack. It sounds awesome, but I just can't hear that natural sound per se.

So, Anyways, I watched alot of videos, and I liked what I heard, therefore I ordered.

I have to say, my AX8 has changed the way I play and approach sound. It is the biggest revolution in my sound in 30 years.

Because, you know, Jolly already doesn't sound better than most of us here if he were using an RP250 and a solid state Crate amp....

Can't wait to hear a sonic sampler of what you are going do with it!

Cool! On a completely unrelated note: Do you still have Simon and whats-the-other-cat's-name? I see you still have aphoto of them up. I was a regular here when you got them, and I remember the name Garfunkel being considered but ultimately rejected for the other one.

I do still have them both. Trip, is actually laying right beside me at the moment.

It’s only $1,099.99. I reckon a person can spend that on him or herself.
 
Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

Really? 1099.00? I thought they were way more than that..in that case little pig little pig, let me come in!
 
Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

You see all kinds of prices if you google the “shopping” tab, but I looked on Fractal’s own site.
 
Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

You'l absolutely need to hop on the Fractal forum- they come out with frequent firmware updates, and lots of people share patches.
 
Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

That is great to hear, 'cuz cats are awesome!
I'm sitting here in my computer/recording/jam room. They are both asleep on the floor next to me. Yes, cats are awesome!!

Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

Looking forward to hearing your AX8. I tried the Eleven Rack and hated it. It doesn't feel right, and the only usable tones it had were very clean, if you water it with effects, and very overdriven. The AX8 is worlds better. Congratulations on your new rig.
 
Re: Well, I just ordered a Fractal AX8 Yesterday

It sounds pretty sweet....maybe even better than my Zoom G1Xon. Congrats!

Haha kidding..these things do bring the tone. I just wish they were simpler to use.
