Ever wanted to tune your cab but couldn't imagine taking to it with a hammer? Now you can tune your cab.
The depth of effect and emulator manipulation in an Axe-Fx is breathtaking.

Studio Quality Components
Top-of-the-line, 24-bit Cirrus Logic© converters assure signal purity. Your Axe-Fx's proprietary analog front end features no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path, only high-quality film types. The output signal path likewise has no electrolytic capacitors. High-performance Analog Devices© op-amps are used in all signal paths. All this adds up to an extremely low noise floor (better than -105 dB). Your analogue amp and stomp box collection was never this quiet.
Processing Power.
A state of-the-art, dual-core processor equips your Axe-Fx with more raw computing power than many desktop computers. With the ability to process 2
Billion floating-point instructions per second, other gear can’t even come close to the power of it.
Also, Fractal are committed to staying ahead of the pack with processing power – don't worry that someone somewhere is making a more powerful unit –
they'll always be playing catch up with your Axe-Fx.
Parallel Amps and Effects Routing
Most of us have never had the chance to experience Bi-amping (or Tri, or Quad amping). Mostly because we just couldn't afford it.
Bi-amping is the one of the secrets to great signature tone – you run two amps simultaneously, sending them the same guitar signal.
The frequency 'holes' of one amplifier are filled by the other, creating a fat, warm wall-of-guitar sound that's just not acheivable with one amp.
In your Axe-Fx you can run two amps and cabs simultaneously, with FX. You can also run another two channels of straight guitar, with FX.
Four simultaneous channels of guitar tone, synths and effects will give you room to be more creative than you ever dreamed was possible.
The most fun you have ever had holding a guitar...
