PSA - any of you guys with the Axe 2 -- if you haven't upgraded your firmware yet, take the day off and do it now! Just when you thought your Axe couldn't get any better, THIS comes out! It's just flat-out AWE INSPIRING. Cliff is beyond genius. The amps are so ALIVE in this thing - I thought they couldn't have gotten better...WRONG! The realism is mind blowing.

I just had a chance to sit down with it and tried out Tylers Tin Pan Alley patch. Holy shit it sounds good.
Insert annoying equipment list here....

I upgraded.
It's good, I thought 9.02 was also very good and would've been happy staying right there.
10.0 adds a few new features that I wanted to take advantage of.
I thought 6 and 7.0 sucked for high gain amps. 8 and 9.02 really got it going with this thing.If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?

Taking the plunge...a lil more $ than I originally wanted to spend but screw it. You only live once. I'm building this from the ground up so any advice on a midi device, studio/powered monitors everything about your axe FX rigs my ears are wide open. I'll probably be ordering tomorrow a.m. I just want to make sure it ships already updated to 10 so I don't have to mess with any of that when I get it...I just want to plug in and hear the hi gain heaven I've been hearing aboutHear the universe scream
Bleeding from black holes
Whom horns careless
And whom God mourns

Depending on their stock it might not ship with 10, but it only takes a few minutes to update and it's a very easy process. Having said that, 10 is mind blowing, and yes we hear the same things every time the FW is updated, but that's because it's true. Fractal has made such strides since the initial release. With 10 for high gain you WILL have to tweak it to get the sound you're after, but holy hell is it worth the time spent. Check the Fractal forum, download presets which have something close to what you like, load them up and see how they're constructed to get a good starting point.

Hearing is also a sense. Just like your nose gets used to a cologne you bought last week, your eyes no longer pop out when you see your car, your ears get used to the sound that's comin out of your speakers. Any change will always sound better. The same reason why people go through 100's of pedals convinced the new one sounds better than anything they've had before.Sam
