"I've been a tone purist and gear snob my whole life and was recently introduced to the Axe-Fx II - to say I was impressed is an understatement! It's replaced my 20k/800 pound rig. I'm sold - an amazing intuitive tone machine!"
"But yeah, I had a pedal drawer with a Tube Screamer and a Phase 90 and flanger. Terry Kath was very fond of the phase-shifter. I’ve become addicted to it myself."
