The World's Most Powerful and Versatile Guitar Processor The Axe-Fx III Mark II Turbo represents the greatest breakthrough in the series of the world's most powerful all-in-one processors from Fractal Audio for guitar, bass, and other instruments. With the introduction of the 'TURBO-DSP Option', featuring a 25% increase in power, the Axe-Fx III MK II Turbo allows for even more complex and diverse presets. It offers Fractal's latest Cygnus amp modeling technology, thousands of UltraRes™ speaker cab simulations, and state-of-the-art effect algorithms with gapless switching , and adds the innovative DynaCab™ capabilities allowing freely positioning of the microphone, all backed with more raw power and feature upgrades than any Fractal Audio product before. Fractal Audio's vision was to take the Axe-Fx to a whole new level: to create a totally redesigned platform that sounds better, does more, and is easier to use. Equipped with four processors, the Axe-Fx III contains more raw processing power than any guitar product ever made, by far. It is available in two editions: the standard version and an even more powerful Turbo version. The hardware of the Axe-Fx III was designed around a streamlined new workflow. The centerpiece is a dazzling new high-contrast full-color display with 30x the resolution of previous products. This display works alongside five new endless-rotary push encoders. These “push-knobs” do different things on different pages, with labels to show dynamic functions. The end result is a user experience that’s immediately more intuitive. The display also excels at animation for meters, modifiers, and more.Better sound quality has been achieved through an audiophile-grade signal path. The difference shines through in lower noise floor, pristine clarity, and better USB audio performance than most dedicated audio interfaces. Computer audio integration now includes a professional-quality 24-bit/48k 8×8 interface. Record multiple tracks of processed audio at the same time, plus a DI. The re-amping workflow is improved with independent monitoring of backing tracks and re-processed guitar tones while you dial in a sound. Physically, the Axe-Fx III continues Fractal's tradition of combining extraordinary design with manufacturing quality rugged enough to withstand the rigors of life on the road. The unit is housed in a steel enclosure with a one-piece anodized aluminum faceplate/bezel featuring a glowing Axe-Fx III logo. More Product Details...

IMPORTANT WARNINGS - READ BEFORE ORDERINGThe LB-2 is an 8 ohm device. Be sure to connect its Amp In jack to the proper output on your amplifier to avoid damage. Mismatching impedance can result in damage to your amp. The maximum power rating of the LB-2 is 100W. Do not connect the LB-2 to any amplifier that is rated greater than 100W as this can damage the unit and/or the amp.The X-Load LB-2 Load Box represents the pinnacle of speaker emulation technology for live use or recording. It allows you to use a traditional tube amp without connecting a speaker cabinet. The X-Load LB-2 provides an 8Ω load (100W maximum) while outputting a balanced or unbalanced line level signal. Unlike other load boxes and attenuators the X-Load LB-2 uses Fractal Audio Systems' Dynamic Impedance™ technology to create a level of realism never achievable before. Record your amp in its sweet spot without deafening volume, or get great tone consistently without the hassles of a speaker cab and microphone setup. It is important to note that the X-Load LB-2 does NOT simulate the characteristic sound of a loudspeaker. This is done by routing your DI Amp signal through speaker simulation hardware—like that found in Fractal Audio's award-winning Axe-Fx or FM3 products—or software, like their Cab-Lab application/plugin. The X-Load LB-2 features a Speaker Thru jack so you can connect a real speaker while also feeding line signal to a recorder or speaker simulator. The Voicing switch shifts the resonance of the load. The “UK” setting is characteristic of the typical British guitar speaker, while the “US” position replicate the lower resonance of a typical American guitar speakers.
