Axe-Fx III MK II

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...
