Matt Bellamy Fractal Audio has the best amp sound I’ve heard, ever. I want one of these everywhere. Metallica We wanted to hate the Fractal. All that work formulating and honing the Metallica guitar sounds was going to be lost. We couldn’t have been more wrong! It opened the door to way more options than we had ever had before. In short WOW. — Big Mick” Hughes Engineer Metallica John Petrucci The Axe-Fx completely and forever changed the way I look at guitar processing. The new model takes everything I love about the old one to the next level. All of the FX sound richer and the new interface makes it even easier to use. My rig has a new openness and clarity and sounds so much better as a result. Dweezil Zappa The new Axe-Fx made my head spin. Amazing amp feel and endless tone. It truly is a quantum leap… a major milestone in guitar technology. Def Leppard Phil Collen – I’d been using the same amp for years. I tried the Axe-Fx III and everything sounded incredible… I switched over just like that. This is the best my guitar has ever sounded. Amazing! Rick Savage: When I tried it, I couldn’t believe my ears. It makes you sound a better player. There’s a clarity without sacrifice. This is the best rig I’ve ever EVER used. Vivian Campbell: The Axe-Fx III has a very strong dynamic element. It actually breathes… responds to the touch. There’s a real clarity. It’s great. Alex Lifeson The quality of all the effects is superb. There is great depth and transparency, and excellent imaging that makes listening with in-ear monitoring a wonderful aural experience. The choices are limitless and it’s fully loaded with all the options you’d ever need. Take it for a test drive, you won’t be disappointed. Neal Schon I’ve tried every modelling unit available on this planet and the Fractal is by far miles ahead in every area.

Sounds amazing in the in-ear monitors and house. Makes my playing onstage effortless. Tom Hamilton: I’d been hearing about these mysterious things called Fractals” and about how people were loving them. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get great sounds! I put all my favorite basses through one and was astounded at how lush and rich they all sounded. Amazing tone. Totally natural! Joe Satriani The Axe-Fx is a tone generating powerhouse. I’ve been using it for writing recording and live performance. It always delivers the goods. Mike Keneally and I both have them integrated into our live rigs. They’re rock solid and sound great every night. The shows wouldn’t be as fun and exciting without them. Synyster Gates This is what I’ve been waiting for my entire life! Devin Townsend I looked at ‘going back to amps’ …but something wonderful happened, in that not only does the Axe-Fx III provide a truckload worth of tone in a unit I can carry in an overhead compartment, it also puts me in a position where in a very real way, I now prefer the tone over traditional amps. It is a total solution for me, and my life is literally better for it. I can’t recommend this technology enough.
