These guys certainly have been busy...

Yeah, it's a nice piece of gear...

Does everything and then some. I think I'll be able to struggle along with my AxeFx II for a while longer, though.

Its got some serious firepower. I am tempted...

I understand you can load the whole grid up with effects/amps/cabs and the processors just laugh at it. With previous versions, things like convolution reverbs and such could tax the processors pretty good, so you had to be careful how much you asked it to do at once.

Well I’m on the waiting list,
But no funds for it.  Would I like it? Sure
Do I need it, my II is doing fine.

Layout's better, display is nicer, there's more I/O, and more horsepower under the hood which allows for some incremental sound improvements and more room for expansion into more/better amps, cabs and sfx. But, it's not a revolutionary product like the original and its siblings were. I think anyone who already has an AxeFx can afford to wait for some mad money to show up.

Along those same lines, those who don't have an AxeFx can take advantage of the dumping that will occur when the early adopters start selling off their existing units to finance the upgrade.

Speaking of which, my Ultra is for sale!  Any takers?  :headbang:

 

[Cagey]

I don't need it, but I'll trade you a stainless refret/setup for it.

 

[mayfly]

If we make it three necks we have a deal!

 

[Cagey]

I'll do three if they're new unfretted necks. Used fretted necks, I'll go two in series. Schedule's tightening up fast for some reason.

 

[mayfly]

Two in series might be just the ticket.  I'll PM you - I've got some unusual requirements...  (that is - 12 string!!)

 

[Cagey]

12 strings are always fun. Gotta have the whole guitar, though. I don't have a 12 string dummy body for setup.
