    > All I really wanted was the way my Supro at home sounds, with real pedals, and once we got that dialled, it was like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re never going back.’ I’m glad we went in this direction, although initially I was a little bit of a luddite.

    "The Axe Fx II is one of the most essential guitar-related tools I've ever experienced. Both in, and out of the studio, the Axe Fx II consistently surprises and inspires me. The benchmark for digital guitar processing. Period."

    > It became apparent that it would be a really good way of translating the specific guitar tones in the studio to the live show. We’ve also had a lot of consistency issues with amps, and we just realised it would be amazing to have the exact consistent sound from night to night. > I’m modelling a Hiwatt with a lot of headroom the whole time, and that closely emulates the Dr Z Maz 38, which I was using the last tour cycle. Excerpted from [this post](https://www.musicradar.com/news/rig-tour-death-cab-for-cutie) which also discusses the live setup used by Dave.

    The Ultimate Solution

    The Fractal Audio Axe-Fx 2 XL with MFC-101 Mark III (MIDI Foot Controller) is the Ultimate Solution for every Guitar Fan. Incredible sound and endless possibilities. I own a many single & multi Effects, but Axe-FX 2 XL give me everything what I need for live & studio job.

    The Ultimate Modern Rig

    The Axe-Fx allows me, as a musician, to have complete control over my tone and to create any sound I want. It's pretty much a box of inspiration.

    more review! I tried the fractal and was not as wowed as I hoped to be, but it sounds really fantastic and the possibilities are pretty endless with all that DSP power.

    A life changer

    It's the perfect tool for people who want the perfect guitar tone. Maybe it's not 100% like the real Tube Amps but it's more than enough.

    Versatility to the max

    How about the ability to have a myriad of sounds at your disposal? It's an Axe FX, do I really need to say more about it?
