Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II XL+ Preamp/FX Processor NEW

Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II XL+ Preamp/FX Processor NEW A next-generation guitar processor that has EVERYTHING and sounds TUBE-LIKE! This is nonsense, but it's a fact, I own one myself, many already know about them, but I will give a brief overview anyway... NOW AVAILABLE BY ORDER!!! The Axe-Fx II XL+ is the most powerful preamp/processor created on the "all-inclusive" principle. It contains an extensive virtual library of hundreds of vintage and modern amplifiers, guitar cabinets, pedals, studio effects, and much more. The device accurately recreates the sound and playing response of tube amplifiers. In addition, the Axe-Fx II XL+ can completely replicate the sound of your amplifier live or from a recorded audio file using Tone Matching technology. The device features an ultra-sturdy construction and extremely low noise levels, making it ideal for work both on stage and in the studio. The Axe-Fx II has superior sound with unmatched power and flexibility, offering many advantages over traditional guitar amplifiers and effects: extremely low weight, high-precision sound control, computer integration, very simple capabilities for constructing your own guitar chain, and much more. Despite the advanced technology, the device is quite easy to use. Easy-to-use front panel The Axe-Fx II XL+ can be fully controlled from the front panel using knobs, buttons, and a large LCD screen. The large VALUE knob is used for most setting changes, while four smaller QUICK CONTROL knobs give direct access to additional parameters, including SCENES. Scenes allow each of the 768 presets to have 8 different combinations of effect switching, AMP XY channel selection, and much more. Extreme guitar amplifier modeling power The math is simple: more powerful modeling capabilities allow you to achieve better sound with greater depth, detail, and spaciousness. The Axe-Fx II is the most powerful guitar processor in the world. At its core are two of the most high-performance Analog Devices TigerSHARC digital signal processors. Their power exceeds competitors by many times. One processor is dedicated exclusively to the needs of amplifier modeling, and the second handles effects and other processes. We use all this power very efficiently and individually model both amplification sections: the preamp and the power amp. The preamps are extremely meticulously modeled, as a rule, with all the control knobs of the original amplifiers. We also model the entire power amp section including tubes, transformers, chokes, filtering capacitors, and everything else. The results are stunning: large and at the same time tight bass, powerful mid frequencies, velvet highs, and everything that creates that very feeling of playing on a good guitar amplifier. The Axe-FX II XL+ has over 180 different amplifier models. Among them are both industry standards and boutique treasures: from the best vintage to the most modern and progressive sounds. Superior speaker simulation The Axe-Fx II includes a high-resolution speaker simulator with 150+ "factory" models, as well as memory for 512 "user" cabinets. The Cabinet block - the key to "direct" sound - allows you to reproduce the sound of a cranked amplifier and cabinet, professionally miked up. And all this without the random variables that usually spoil such chains in live performances or in the studio: inconsistent sound levels, microphone bleed, crazy volume requirements, etc. Factory cabs include an assortment from our own collection of professionally created Cab-Packs, as well as cabs from top musicians, sound engineers, and third-party IR impulse creators such as RedWirez and OwnHammer. You will find a superb variety of cabinets and speakers of different sizes, representing the best brands in history and today. In addition, we offer Cab-Lab, a mixer and IR utility for Mac and Windows, designed specifically for those who want to create their own IR mixes. For example, as producers or sound engineers do when using different microphones on one speaker. The Tone Matching function expands this functionality with an impressive ability to "clone" other devices: amplifiers, entire chains, or even sound from a recording. You can save the resulting result to a preset or export it to a "User Cab" to use in any other presets in the Axe-FX II. Amazing effects In addition to advanced amplifier modeling, the Axe-Fx II possesses an incredibly powerful and flexible effects block with ultra-realistic copies of classic pedals and rack effect processors. Effect models are editable with a single knob to make all the necessary adjustments for great sound in seconds or modified at the deepest level with a fully modular approach. Like our amplifiers, the effects sound and feel great with a very musical response. This allows for achieving not just great sound, but inspiration. 29+ Drive pedals A bunch of delays 19 types of reverbs Fully adjustable Wah Deeply adjustable Whammy Fixed and "smart" harmonies "Shimmers", "Crystals", etc. Phaser and Uni-Vibe Flanger, Chorus Panning / Tremolo Rotary speaker simulator Tone Match 7 types of powerful filters Graphic and parametric equalizers 3 types of compressors Limiter / Gate Front-end Noise Gate Guitar mono synthesizer Built-in looper New "true" tape echo Vocoder and much more... The Axe-Fx II also has impressive effects routing capabilities with the ability to build exact copies of entire chains of pedals and processors, as well as new, previously impossible combinations of effects. In addition to everything, the device implements powerful automation and control with excellent MIDI support and a multitude of other options for control (modulating low-frequency oscillators, dynamic Envelopes, sequencer, two inputs for external expression pedals, and much more). Computer integration via USB The Axe-Fx II has a number of connection options for computers. Mac and PC users can use it as a 2x4 audio interface with 1x1 high-speed MIDI. This allows you to record processed sound from the main outputs simultaneously with a "raw" track for further re-amping. You can also monitor or process recorded audio tracks using the Axe-Fx II. 1x1 high-speed MIDI-over-USB eliminates the need for a separate MIDI interface and makes editing with Axe-Edit easier than ever. Excellent set of connectors and interfaces for connection, ultra-low noise level The Axe-Fx II XL+ has a wide selection of main inputs and outputs. Along with balanced XLR outputs, the ¼" jack unbalanced outputs use our new Humbuster™ technology. It allows minimizing ground loop noise problems without using dangerous "cheater plugs" or expensive isolation transformers. The rear analog inputs are also balanced for a cleaner signal over long distances. The new "Secret Sauce III" technology provides a better signal-to-noise ratio compared to any Axe-Fx ever. The device also has a high-quality headphone output on the front panel. Update history Axe-Fx II (original) - Dual TigerSHARC, 384 presets, 100 user cabinet slots, RJ45 MFC-101 port, mechanical main encoder, MIDI IN and OUT/THRU outputs, one expression pedal output, 60mm fan.
