Axe FX 2 Fractal Guitar Preamp Review

Axe FX 2 – In 2006 the Fractal Audio System Ax-FX processor came with an amp modeling and effects processor in one product, which brought a revolution in the world of audio, especially for guitar processing. Although amp modeling was already widely circulated in the market at that time, the Ax-FX had a more realistic sound compared to other products at that time, in 2008 Fractal continued to release the Ax-FX ultra, which recently came out as the Axe FX 2.

In terms of sound, this Fractal Axe FX 2 has a response similar to that of a tube amp; where the dynamic response of our picking is very influential on the sound that comes out. even if we play low tuning or 8-string guitar, the articulation of the drive from Fractal is maintained without turning muddy.

For use and mobility, this amp is indeed simpler when compared to head amps which certainly have a heavier weight. However, for sound, it might be a matter of taste, because even though the sound of this object is arguably “similar” to the actual amp, it is still different from the analog sound.
