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

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

THE MOMENT WHEN YOU PLUG IT IN AND GAPE!

Hi Jacques und Sussi!
Many thanks for the quick delivery of the FM3. Simply sensational how beautifully you packaged the thing, added a very nice welcome letter, packed a T-shirt and even a bar of Merci. More is not possible (-:   Thank you!!!

And then the moment when you plug it in and gape! The short version is: I sold my Helix Floor yesterday (-:

Best regards from the Ruhrpott
Good luck ! Rainer

NOT BEEN THIS EXITED SINCE GETTING MY AXE-FX II 

Hi  Hope your both well. New FM 9 arrived yesterday and it is working perfectly.It is an amazing piece of gear. Not been this exited since getting my Axe Fx ll.

Thanks for your support.
Best regards  / John

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 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

THE SOUND BLOWS YOU AWAY!

Dear Jacques,
I am still very enthusiastic about the fm3. It's one of those few products where you always find an answer already built in, even if it took you months to formulate the question in the first place.

But apart from the technical fascination, it's simply the sound that blows you away. You're right, this thing is just a little happiness maker.

Many greetings to the north!
Christian

Hello Knut,
thank you very much for your effort! It worked. The Axe Fx III is such a good machine – BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE !!!!!

All the best, Jakub!

SUPPORT THAT IS FASTER THAN YOU. EVEN AT THE WEEKEND !

Hello Jacques;
I also wanted to thank you again for the quick handling of my problems with the FM3! A support that reacts faster than oneself and also on weekends. Apart from that, I am super satisfied with the FM3, for the price there is nothing better, more flexible or more ingenious on the market.

Thanks also for the tip about OMG-9. Your manuals are mega helpful and easy to understand. I will definitely test it.

Best regards, Tim

FANTASTIC - MEGA BIG GRIN – BLOODY FINGERS !

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!

Hi Jacques,

Wow, thanks for everything. As @metalbobby on Instagram I’ve played just a single preset and I’m in love already… man you guys are so great… this thing is amazing.

I’ll be stuck in front of this day and night.

Thanks for the quick delivery of the Axe-Fx III Mk2 and the firmware and so on.

All the best,
Robin

PURE ENTHUSIASM / THE BEST DECISION EVER !

Dear Jacques

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

I’M 100% CONVINCED ABOUT THE AXE-FX 3 AND DON’T MISS MY MARSHALL IN THE LEAST!

Hello Jacques,

Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. Many thanks for the Axe-Fx III.

First off I need to explain: I’ve been playing the guitar for 32 years, so I grew up with tube amps. In December last year my Marshall JVM410HJS gave up the ghost. As getting it repaired is kind of difficult just now, I had to fall back on my FX2, which up to now had just been used in the effects loop of the Marshall. I had never bothered to check out the amps or cabs. Then I started experimenting and what I managed to achieve made me very curious.

Soon I was convinced that I needed an FX3!!! Just unpacking it was a pleasure and I felt like a little kid ? The packet of Merci was a nice surprise! A very high-quality product, lovingly packed!

After a month of exhaustive testing and experimentation I’m 100% convinced about the FX3 and don’t miss my Marshall in the least! I can recommend the FX3 to anyone. I’ve even gone so far as to put my name on the waiting list for an FM3 and I very much hope it will be deliverable soon.

I can’t wait ? Whatever happens, kudos to you all and keep up the good work, also with the tutorials, which I have found very helpful, especially those from Bernd Kiltz and Marco Fanton.

Many thanks and greetings to Flensburg,
Miroslav

IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS FOR OVER 30 YEARS BUT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS!

I am impressed. I've been in the music business for over 30 years now, and I've NEVER experienced such friendly and competent advice and handling.

Congratulations and thank you that there are people like you who do such a great job!

Greetings Marco

WITH YOU ONE FEELS SIMPLY AT HOME - SERVICE A DREAM

Morning Jacques,
Today my big guitarist's delight arrived at my place and what can I say?! You guys are amazing!!!

On top of this magnificent instrument, your service is a dream. Starting with that nice personal email. After the order was placed, the delivery was fast. I had the feeling that you knew beforehand that I was going to order and sent everything on its way ;-).

Everything is perfectly packed. The devices are checked in advance and not just blindly sent to the customer.

That's exactly how I imagine it and that's exactly how you make customers happy :) And for all the sweethearts there is also a little surprise.

It just feels like an adoption by G66 and you have been warmly welcomed. You simply make me feel at home.

Thank you very much and stay as you are ;)

Best regards to the far north :) ..
Michael

IMPRESSED HOW MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE THE AXE-FX III IS WITH THE FC-12

Hi Sussi and team,
FC-12 arrived safely today, perfect. Really impressed with it and how much more accessible the axe-fx iii is with this controller. Brilliant.

Thanks again / Dan

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

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

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...

LG/Jörg

BY THE WAY, THE ELIS.8 ARE A REAL HIT!

Many greetings from the south, have a good time and see you next time,
Otto
