what up, Mark! That didn't take long? 
So, basically, everyone here's just speculating if the AXE FX sounds just as good as the real thing, or is it just The Next Big... POD?
Hey Fred!!!!
Feel free to translate for me if necessary

Hey Fred!!!!!

Feel free to translate if you would like.
First of all I am very picky about my tone...very!
I love my CAA rig and still have it.
I was NOT interested in the AxeFx except for an FX only unit, but I thought I would give it a try........It blew me away...but not at first. Once I started making my own presets I realized this unit sounds amazing.
I wanted to dial in "my" tone and the AxeFx came through with flying colours. It is NOT another POD or modeller...it reacts like a tube amp very surprising

I find myself not tweaking but playing because it just sounds so good and is so inspiring.
I decided to start using it live. Much less gear to carry and a HUGE sound. I am blown away by this unit. The Youtube videos don't begin to do the tone justice. I have had many people come to my studio to hear my rigs and they have all walked away wanting the AxeFx...they can't believe the tone that comes from this box. I wish I could invite you all to come here to hear it in person...you would be convinced:)
