Thank you, I am enjoying it so much. It models everything so accurately. I can't even believe this thing is as good as it is. It blows my mind every time I turn it on.....or does it turn me on? LOL!

Again, I'm not trying to disrespect line6 on their own site. I only encourage them to step it up to either equal the Axe-Fx or top it. Maybe Line6 can make theirs more bass guitar and vocal friendly.

But as of right now, I will be using the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx for years. Adrian Belew even jumped on board. Now that's an endorsement!

The way I see things now, the X3 is only good for recording demos and practising. But the Axe-Fx can be used for pro recordings. That's my opinion though.

When enough people get to experience the Axe-Fx, they aren't going to care about spending 2K dollars.

I'm even considering selling some of my tube amps and analog/digital fx, because I seriously don't need them anymore. That's how good I feel about Fractal Audio. Line6 never made me feel that way. But I always appreciated line6 for what it was.

Anyone want to buy a:

Fender Twin reverb

Mesa Boogie Mark IV with half cab

countless fx (like 25 awesome pedals.)

I'll be putting everything on ebay soon

(I'll always keep my Mark II C+ though. I just can't part with that)

Well, most of us don't rely on mommy and daddy. And the X3 still has a place in the world. Use whatever is in your means. And don't be immature.

yea, there is a 15 day return policy. But you won't return it. You can also go the the Fractal Audio website and ask forum members in your area if you can try theirs. Someone may help you.

And yea, the X3 still is an awesome unit. Of course you can use it in a pro setting. My only point was after using the Axe-Fx, my view of the X3 changed. It was like..."how can I possibly go back?" I probably should have kept my X3 as a live backup. But I just use my Fender twin reverb with a few stompboxes as a live backup. I mike it and send it throught the pa. The X3 could just go direct to the pa and probably is more reliable. Less working parts than an amp and a bunch of cables and stompboxes. So yea, the X3 is still a great piece of gear.

Plus Line6 is ALWAYS affordable. I'm still a fan of Line6 and will always check their new gear. I totally believe they will catch up the Fractal audio too. I pretty much only started this thread to get some wheels turning......hopefully.

Just trust me. Your view of the X3 changes a lot after using the Axe-Fx. No youtube video will ever do that for anyone, you have to compare them in person.

Maybe Line 6 can make a 64bit unit with 192k or more...( I have no idea what I'm talking about..lol) I really don't know the technical info on these things, I only know what they sound/feel like. But maybe they can outdo Fractal Audio in the long run and make that product more affordable.

Who knows.
