EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE FM9 – THE HAMMER – BEST SOUND IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM !
Yes, I am totally thrilled... I've actually always been on the road with analogue. I don't notice any difference anymore. My band colleague Jörg B. also ordered an FM 3/FC6 set last week after hearing it. I'm extremely satisfied and thrilled with the FM 9... it's awesome... We had the best sound in a long time in the rehearsal room last night...

FANTASTIC - MEGA BIG GRIN – BLOODY FINGERS !
Moin Jaques,
You are really cool!!! Thanks a lot for the chocolate and the fast shipping!!! Because of the Xmas business, I didn't expect to receive the device until the next few days. And the first impression is: fantastic!!! Yesterday I played my fingers bloody while listening to the presets and I have a MEGA big grin on my face!
All the best and best wishes from the coast to the coast!
Jörg
I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED!
Hi Jacques!
Many thanks for the record-breaking speed with which you sent me the FM3.
I am absolutely thrilled! Many thanks also for the tasty addition! Of course, I immediately started to explore the FM3. I think my family will have to do without my presence for a while;). I have printed out the excellent user manual and will work through it bit by bit. The tutorials on your site are also very helpful, especially those by Bernd Kiltz. It's fun to get to know the device with its many sounds and possibilities. I will soon be able to do without my tube amps and stomp boxes once I have mastered the FM3 and configured it for my needs.
Best regards to Flensburg

GUITARIST’S DELIGHT...A TOTAL UNDERSTATEMENTG.
Hello Jacques,
I didn't want to bother you again, since you probably get 1,000 e-mails. But just one more time: I was already totally thrilled with my Axe-Fx II Mark II, but this is simply UNBELIEVABLE. I have no words for this: guitarist's delight... a total understatement.
Thanks so much for listening!
Peter

MY EXPECTATIONS FAR EXCEEDED – SPEECHLESS AND HAPPY!

MAINTAINING SPECIAL CUSTOMER PROXIMITY !
Hi Jacques,
It's always a pleasure to hear/read from you. You have obviously been able to maintain this special customer proximity, which is great! The great device arrived quickly and has finally been in operation since this evening... :-)
Many thanks and best regards.

I AM OVERWHELMED - FRACTAL AUDIO IS A WHOLE OTHER DIMENSION!
Dear Jacques,
The reason I haven't contacted you yet is that I'm up to my ears in FX III ;-) . Apart from the fact that everything has arrived in one piece and is working, I would like to tell you that I am thrilled ... even more:
I am overwhelmed! I was already spoiled by the "Helix", but the machines from you/Fractal Audio are a completely different dimension.
First of all, I set up a few things on the "FX III" to suit my needs, adjusted the "FC-12" configuration and then, late yesterday afternoon, I started listening to the presets; I didn't get any further than no. 0030, as there are usually up to eight scenes each, but I am absolutely "blown away"!
And I also enjoyed "shopping" with you. You were very friendly and patient with me ... thank you very much, Jacques!
So, I’ll join the chorus of the many G66/Fractal Audio enthusiasts and remain ...
... with best regards
Peter
THE AXE FX REALLY IS THE GAME-CHANGER!
Hi,
Really looking forward to the FM3! The AXE FX really is the game-changer it's made out to be.
What could be better than always having these grandios sounds with you in a compact format?
Your unbeatable customer service completes the package!
Have a great weekend and best regards,
Timo
NOT ONLY EXCELLENT HARDWARE, ALSO FIRST-CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE !
Hello Jaques,
I wouldn't have expected that. Thank you very much for this! You not only have excellent hardware, but also first-class customer service.

YESTERDAY I BEGAN TAKING APART MY PEDAL BOARD!
Hi,
I spent a long time convincing myself - over the last 15-20 years I've collected a large number of amps and pedals…even dealt in them (www.hiddennotes.de) and after a couple of days with the FM3, yesterday I began taking apart my pedal board…what I want to say is, what a fantastic product!
I'm totally addicted and asking myself why I didn't try it ages ago…but better late than never, right?
All the best and catch you soon;)

I HAD TO CRY MY EYES OUT: SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE EXPECTED IN THIS LIFE - A MIRACLE!
Hello Jaques,
Yes, so... I'm sitting here and have to write to you. I can't help it. I could cry (and have done so).
To my great surprise, I actually managed to get the FM 3 to sound right through my two Ethos overdrive amps. Tried all the presets, at first hypersceptical (I can hear fleas coughing and.... yes, fleas coughing, whoever says otherwise has no idea), then more and more relaxed, found great clean sounds, on the other hand Bludotone is absolutely great for me. And I'm still only scratching the surface of the possibilities.
I went straight into the guitar inputs after everything else sounded more than suboptimal (FX Return etc.). Not much clipping, I can turn off the bass on the amps anyway. And then something happened that I never expected to happen in this life. For me it's a miracle. God knows I've played and tried out a lot in my life.
My best sound 25 years ago an old Blade Telecaster in a universe!!! solid state Hi-Fi amp with homemade cable, Tube Screamer TS 10, Ibanez Delay, nothing else. Pick-sensitive, nothing sounded like Hi-Fi, tight bass, great clean sounds, never sounded like solid state. Solo it sounded like a mixture of Santana and Dumble (although the term was completely foreign to me at the time). Simply divine. By the way, only with zinc-carbon batteries in the tube screamer, if they weren't in, the sound was almost gone.
And I wasn't the only one who found it divine. I have never been able to reproduce this sound since.
And today, I am still completely stunned... actually speechless and struck to the core...so I go to preset 73 (ODS HRM Hot Touch), bridge pickup and immediately, instantly get goosebumps. There it is. The sound. Without changing anything. With a light touch a David Lindley sound, with more touch Robben Ford (Talk to your daughter, Cannonball Shuffle, depending on the picking). As I said, I am completely stunned. Even if all the rest of the presets were unusable for me, I would have to keep the thing. I am shocked... Like a dream. It's certainly partly a happy interaction of the FM 3 and the rather improper use (Ethos Amp instrument input, modelling and cabs not switched off), but strangely enough it doesn't make noise like before, even without the humbuster. The overall sound is even better than it was back then. I've been noodling for 4 hours now ;)
FM3 Edit and Fractal Bot also work and now I'm blissfully going to sleep and dreaming of Alexander Dumble; who is surrounded by lots of good-looking girls. God rest his soul and yours.
A warm greeting from Kirchheimbolanden,
Andreas
FRACTAL AUDIO IS T - H - E SOUND!
Dear Jacques,
How nice it is to receive an email directly from the owner and thank you also for your personalised letter. Just wanted to give a quick update as your customer service is so great. FM3 arrived yesterday. I am honestly speechless. I am never stepping back to other gear and will now start selling my floor effects collection. The Fractal sound is T-H-E sound.
Thanks for everything,
Frank
NOT CUSTOMERS, BUT FANS!
Many thanks also for the sweet surprise, the great T-shirt and the short instructions for beginners... I will probably need them quite a bit at first.... and only call in an absolute emergency.
Great praise for a great service and a very customer-oriented approach.
That's why you don't really have "customers", but fans... Today you got one more!
Many greetings from the Rhineland
Martin
SOOOO EXCITED - SOUND BLEW ME AWAY!
Danke Jacques,
I'm soooo excited about the AXE FX III..... especially the sound, which really blew me away - never thought I'd say that about a modelling device :)
I've been putting together a lot of presets with my favourite amps over the last few days, and I'm looking forward to being able to keep my hands on the guitar when I change my scenes and effects....
Best regards from Graz, Martin
40 YEARS OF MUSIC - NEVER GOT SUCH GOOD SERVICE BEFORE!
Hello Jacques,
I wanted to tell you that I found the entire conversation with you in connection with the AXE FX III MK 2 not only very pleasant and refreshing, but also personal and binding. It's impressive that you take the time to get to know your customers’ backgrounds. I hope you also had some fun in the process. The absolute highlight, however, was that when I unpacked the device I thought, hey, you’ve even included the USB cable (which is not the case with all dealers / products) and oh, what's that big fat red instruction manual in the box? ;-)
I've been making music for 40 years and I've certainly invested one or two large sums in equipment, but I've never received this "service". Crazy! MERCI!
Gladly again! Best regards
Uwe
THE NICEST AND BEST SERVICE (AND NOT ONLY IN MUSIC)
Hello Jacques,
Thank you very much for the nicest and best service I know (and not only in the music field))
And have a nice day,
Philipp
M E G A ! THIS THING IS AWESOME!
Hello Jacques,
The FM3 arrived today. Wow! Many thanks for the super-fast processing. Then I opened the package. I was very pleased with the contents. I quickly listened to the factory sounds and, after studying numerous videos, created my first own preset.
What can I say? MEGA! This thing is awesome. One thing's for sure: KÖNIGSBRUNN IS FM3!
Today I PLAYED for the first time in a very long time and didn't constantly try to make the sound even better. And that with a brand new device.
Thanks again for your service.
Stay healthy & many greetings,
Thom
AMAZING SUPPORT FOR AN AMAZING DEVICE !
Servus Jacques,
Thank you very much again, amazing support for an amazing device. I am so thrilled.
Greetings and keep up the good work!

ALL THIS WAS NOTHING AGAINST THE AXE-FX - IT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY
Hello Jacques;
I have had an Axe FX II for about a year now. It is connected to an Engl 2 x 50 watt power amplifier. I have 2 4x12" Marshall boxes connected to it. The ones with the greenbacks. And what can I say? I will never play anything else again. It's hard to imagine that it could be any better. But that's how it seems to be. That's why I want the Axe FX 3 Turbo so bad. Over the years, I've had just about all the big-name stuff. None of that was anything compared to the Axe FX. It makes me really happy. And I can't stop playing. So, now I hope to have the FX III soon, and the floor pedal to go with it.
Have a nice day
Regards RIC
AT THE END OF DAY I WAS BLOWN AWAY!
Dear Jacques!
My package arrived today at the end of the day and I was blown away!
Not only for the amazing piece of gear but also for all the care that you guys put on the order: cool guides, nice "thank you" letter, the t-shirt and if all of this was not nice enough, I got a box of chocolates!!!
You made my day. Now I'm "playing" with my unit trying to unveil all the secrets behind it....
Thank you very much from a happy customer.
Cheers /Flavio
I AM SIMPLY THRILLED!!! 100% AMP FEELING - IT WAS MERCILESSLY COOL!
Morning Jacques!
I wanted to give you a small interim report on the FM3. I am simply thrilled! The amp simulations are worlds better than those of the Helix. The feeling of "hanging" on a real amp is, in my opinion, 100% there. The interaction of the guitar, the volume pot of the guitar, it’s all really great!
Yesterday afternoon/evening was the first rehearsal with the FM3. It was mercilessly awesome and such good fun!
As for the FM9, Jacques, please keep my order open! When it is available > email me please!!! I mainly want to play the FM9 and have the FM3 with me as a back-up.
By the way: The German axefx.de forum is mega! I have already received VERY GOOD competent help there!!!! That is really impressive!

THE FM3 IS THE BUSINESS – THE ÜBER-BUSINESS !
Hey Knut, thank you very much.
Have I ever mentioned how ingenious I find the FM3, no.
The FM3 is the business, or rather the über-business.
Best regards Marco
AMAZING - NOW I CAN SELL EVERYTHING!
Hello Jacques,
Thanks a lot, tried the FM3, amazing, I’m very happy. Had Boss Gt-1000 and Lexicon PCM81 and many floor pedals before, now I can sell everything😀😀.
Kind regards

THE ELIS.8 HAS ENHANCED MY FM9 SIGNIFICANTLY - SOUNDS HUGE !
Hello Jaques,
I didn't want to miss giving you some short feedback:
The speakers and pedal arrived here safe and sound a few days ago. I like the boxes very much and they enhance my FM9 considerably - a very good and inspiring sound. And indeed, the two small boxes sound at least as big as my Deluxe Reverb and, thanks to the FM9, also very authentic.
Many thanks for the excellent service!
Best regards,
Wolfgang
BY THE WAY, THE ELIS.8 ARE A REAL HIT!
Hello Jacques,
Thank you very much for your information and once again a big thank you for being so accommodating. Your customer orientation is simply exemplary! By the way, the Elis.8 are a real hit and perfect for my plans.
Many greetings from the south, have a good time and see you next time,
Otto
YOU HAVE BY FAR THE BEST SERVICE OF ALL!
Heyho

You have by far the best service of all! In all seriousness!!
best regards Mathias
SOUNDS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR OVER 40 YEARS
Hello Jacques,
After intensive familiarisation with this wonderful AXE FXIII system and the FC6 and FC12 controllers, I have to admit after just under 3 weeks - sensationally good, and I can realise exactly the sounds that I have been looking for for over 40 years. The money I could have saved, not to mention all the lugging around of various tube amps and 4x12 cabinets… Super classy and extremely addictive - you just can't drag yourself away. You are absolutely right - this really is a guitarist's delight - thank you for it.
Kindest regards and stay healtyh
Richard
