Joining the Axe-Fx camp

sounds killer rupe!

Couple of quick questions:

- Is the difference between Std and Ultra worth of money?
- Are the models sold in US stamped with "CE" mark? That is the EU "ok to use in European electrical systems / safe enough" thingy, that if it is missing it will not usually go trough customs at all. It is rather large white label stating "CE".

Is the difference between Std and Ultra worth of money?

Feature comparison between Axe-FX Standard and Ultra

20% faster. 6x the memory.

This comes down to be able to have more effects/more powerful effects in a preset. For example, if you want to be able to have a chain with (2) amps, (2) stereo cabs and more effects than just reverb or delay, you're best off getting the Ultra.

Whether or not the differences between the Standard and Ultra are worth the extra money to you, I don't know but those are the technical differences.

The one I received from FA on Monday of this week does not have the 'CE" mark on the outer chasis

Ok thanks guys. I need to skip Ebay then; the customs here in Finland are ridicilously tight on those. Just placed and paid an Std version from Eu reseller (G66.eu). So I am on the dime, and at least 'starting' with Std.

There is rather lot fuzz around this in local musician boards, like I'd imagine everywhere, with pretty same pro/con debates and doubts. So need to check it in person to be sure.

I just need to figure out how to dial my MP-1 sound into it. I just love it. But I recon the proper axe fx boards and wiki will cover 99% of my questions, so off to there then.
