The Axe-Fx II features a high resolution speaker simulator with 150+ “Factory” models and room for 512 “User” cabs. They range from industry standards to boutique treasures, from the very best of vintage, to the leading edge of modern tones. There are 180+ different amp models onboard. The results are amazing: big, yet tight bass, powerful mids, silky highs, and all of the feel that makes playing a great amp so enjoyable.

We also model the entire power section including tubes, transformers, choke, filter caps and more. Preamps are painstakingly modeled, typically with all the same controls as the original amps. We put this power to good use, individually modeling both preamp and power amp sections. One is dedicated solely to amp modeling while the other handles effects and other processing. The Axe-Fx II is a great improvement on previous products, with two state-of-the-art Analog Devices TigerSHARC DSPs offering many times the raw power of competitor products. The equation is quite simple: more power equals the capability for better sound, with greater depth, detail, and dimensionality. Scenes allow each of the 768 presets to contain 8 different combinations of effects on/off, amp XY “channel” selection, and more. The large VALUE knob is used for most setting changes, while four smaller QUICK CONTROL knobs give you hands-on access to extra parameters including SCENES. The Axe-Fx II XL+ can be completely controlled from the front panel via knobs, buttons, and a large backlit LCD display. Despite its advanced technology, it is remarkably easy to use. The Axe-Fx II has superb sound with great power and flexibility, offering many improvements over traditional guitar amps and effects, including extremely light weight, precise sound control, computer integration, very simple rig design possibilities, and more. It is ideal for both stage and studio use, with heavy-duty construction and a high-quality, low-noise design. It accurately recreates the sound and feel of tube amps and can “tone match” the sound of your live amp or a recording. It contains a vast virtual inventory of hundreds of vintage and modern guitar amps, speaker cabinets, guitar stompbox and studio effects, and more. The XL+ is the ultimate Axe-Fx II all-in-one preamp/effects processor.
