Trusted musician and artist reviews for Fractal Audio Axe-Fx 2 XL+
Based on 7 Reviews
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.

Amazing Preamp and FX Processor
I'm still new on it cause I just bought it less than 3 days ago but it's really amazing and useful in studio and I think also for live shows but I'm still a rookie...

It looks like a real hassle to program. Report back when you master it please! Do you have experience with enough the analog gear it models to make a fair judgement of the sound in a live setting using a power amp and cab or going straight into the board?

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.

Fractal is just the greatest
I am in love with this device, is not just the tons of effects but the great quantity of amps and cabs IR´s Absolutely worth the money.

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?
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.
