All In One Wonder?

Ease Of Use	After a few minutes the whole design of the AxeFx becomes very intuitive even if you only programm on the device itself. By the use of the new software and the Axe hooked up to my mac, programming new Presets became very fun and easy. Finding the right settings is very fun and community patches can be downloaded directly into the unit. The only thing that was a bit tricky was to setup the floorboard (Midi Mate) as I was not used to some things that were required.
Sound	The question that everyone asks of course is: Does it sound like a tube amp? Yes it does. I used the Axe Rectifier Modell and did the settings like I am used to on my own (vintage 2 channel) and it sounded EXACTLY the same. Same dynamics, same gain, same sound. Also the Mesa 4x12 with SM57 setup was the same. The only thing you miss out in the Axe is noise... Next test was with an original Fender Twin Reverb of my neighbour, again with SM57. Again the Axe delivered right on spot, with the added bonus that you can dial in sound (due to expanded EQ options on the Axe) that the Vintage modell misses. Same playing dynamics etc. Same with the effects modells, this unit is spot on and mostly expands the options of the vintage effects it simulates. All in One. The AxeFX Ultra therefore replaced in total 4 full tube amps, 14 stomp boxes (some vintage), 4 Cabs and all my Mics. Of course I have now even more sounds at my fingertips. The unit still might not be for everyone, as some people simply feel better with tubes in their back.
Reliability	So far very solid and no problems. Replaced CPU fan with something else though.
Customer Support	Extremely nice and helpful.
