I have a hard time calling it a modeler because when most people think modeler they think of cheap stuff that beginners use. They now have the Axe FX 2 out, and that is supposed to be even more powerful. I've barely tapped into all of what this baby can do. I've used it many times and it's a godsend when I can't use an amp. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I will admit, all of the tones tend to have a signature 'Axe FX' sound, but they still sound great. I just made my own and they sound great! There is a lot of flexibility in this unit and I probably use 5% of its capabilities. The patches that come on the unit are all pretty generic sounding. I use mine primarily for recording, but I think it would work great live. I know a lot of pros that actually use this either as a preamp with a tube power amp, or plugged straight into the PA. It's just the buttons and the wheel on the actual Axe that make it difficult.

Fortunately, there is the Axe FX edit software that makes editing patches a lot easier, and the layout as far as editing is actually pretty straightforward. A touch screen would be a welcome addition to a future version though. Granted, it would be very difficult to make this gadget 'easy' to use due to its complex nature. Unfortunately, it's a little complex to operate. Ok, so the Axe FX is an extremely powerful box. All of the processing is digital in the box. inputs/ outputs include unbalanced stereo inputs/ outputs, balanced inputs, stereo FX loop, Spdif digital I/O, AES I/O, MIDI in/ out/ through, and expression pedal inputs. The Axe FX Ultra is a rackmount guitar preamp, effects processor, and DI recording device all in one.
