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!

BEST HANDLING WORLDWIDE!
Hi Jaques
FC-6 arrived, installed ... works! Once again, a thousand THANKS for the absolute best handling worldwide.
There is no other company where I prefer to buy.
Kind regards Nicolai
EXTREMELY WELL-EQUIPPED GUITAR SHOP FOR ME ALONE – REALLY GENIAL!
Simply unbelievably good! I've been enjoying the fantastic sound in the rehearsal room for 4 hours.
The FM3 is very easy to use (I can't understand the reviews on the net, it couldn't be simpler and more flexible): Pick amp and cap, add a bit of reverb, tremolo in front of the amp, an analogue delay behind it, a drive in front of it, gate between amp and cap, EQ behind it, a bit of treble off, a bit less bass, add a phaser. What can I say? Within half an hour I had such a grandiose setup with 6 scenes that I've been enjoying it ever since and can't get enough of playing.
I just turned on the MF.10 (with ear protection) (output at +4 dBu). What a riot! I think that should really be enough volume reserves for any situation. I'm flabbergasted...
For the next few weeks I'll have to "rummage" through the range of amplifiers and caps ;-) I feel like I have an extremely well-equipped guitar shop all to myself. Really ingenious!
Thanks for the checkup and the update. The box is running perfectly! By the way, the cooler hasn't started up once in the 4 hours (or so quietly that I didn't hear it during the breaks in playing). Here are a few impressions and greetings from the rehearsal room.

PS: Always G66 and always Fractal! Recommendations are absolutely guaranteed!
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
THE FM3 REALLY KNOCKS THE AX8 STRAIGHT OUT OF THE REHEARSAL ROOM!
Hi dear Jaques,
after the first test: HAMMER... The FM3 really knocks the AX8 for six, straight out of the rehearsal room... thank you very much.
Kind regards

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

MY GREAT EXPECTATIONS HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXCEEDED !
Hello Jacques,
Thank you very much for the incredibly fast delivery and the cap that came with the T-shirt. It really made me very happy. Please excuse me for not getting back to you until now, but on the day of delivery I found out that I was going to be a father, so a few things just had to take priority at first.
First of all, I have to praise you for the incredible foresight to include a mega pack of Merci (you know how to keep women quiet ;-)).
What can I say. As an owner of Mesa Boogie, Engl and Marshall amps, all the good "modellers" of the time, Avid-Eleven Rack, Kemper and various plug-ins, I have to admit that my expectations for the AXE-FX were great, but they were vastly exceeded. I'm actually considering selling my dearly beloved Triaxis 2:90 combo from MesaBoogie and all the other stuff along with it.
The level of detail, the response, it’s as if I were playing the real amp. For me, the Triaxis has always been the holy grail as far as my tone is concerned. Over 20 years in use and it has never let me down. The AXE alone comes close to 100%. It’s only the modes of the 2:90 power amplifier that I couldn’t feel yet (Deep/Modern/half Drive) but with some time I am sure I’ll get to the same result. The possibilities in the AXE are probably given.
I won't even begin to talk about the other possibilities. It's almost unbelievable if you haven't experienced it and I'm really very fussy about sound and feel. No other modeller has ever given me this feeling.
I've been at FOH for over 20 years for many acts from small to large and have been running a small studio for over 10 years. More for nostalgic and non-profit intentions. The bands that record with me are more from the up-and-coming scene and I try to support them as much as I can and give something back to the scene here.
I bought the AXE mainly for my private pleasure, but it will make my work with the bands much easier. Anyone who has miked real boxes knows what I mean :-)
All in all, and in conclusion, many, many thanks again for the great package you have put together. Keep up the good work, that's exactly what good customer service is all about. The information that it is being checked, packed and shipped, and all that with a personal address, makes you feel a bit more important and not like just another customer.
Continued success and stay with us for a long time.
Best regards from Spessart to Flensburg, where the driving licences live ;-)

THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW WHY YOU STAY LOYAL TO G66
Hi Jacques – I would like to thank you again.
On the one hand for the fast delivery, on the other hand for the accommodating and speedy repair of my AX8 – that's when you know why you remain loyal to G66!
Best regards, Haiko
I ADMIRE YOUR CONCEPT - KEEP IT UP!
Dear Jacques,
I am happy and surprised at the same time about your personal answer.
I admire your concept of bringing high-quality products directly to the customer - professionally and very personally. And I admire that you have very successfully managed to win over the customers themselves as brand ambassadors.
Some of my (advertising) clients follow the same concept - also with success!
Keep up the good work!
Best regards from Bad Waldsee

FM9 TURBO - A MASTERPIECE !

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
JUST WOW!
Hi Jacques,
I have been the proud owner of the Axe FX III for a little over 3 weeks now and I am simply overwhelmed. The thing is better, sharper, more detailed, clearer, more qualitative, more impressive... than I could ever have imagined. Simply WOW! Thank you very much for the easy purchasing process and the goodies!
All the best to you and the team and stay healthy!
Dimitri
AXE-FX IS SUCH A GOOD MACHINE – BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE !!!!!
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!
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
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE CONVINCED SO QUICKLY!
Hello Jacques,
first of all, many thanks for your nice mail. This transparency in the ordering process and these fine little details, like the chocolate, the T-shirt and the personal envelope are just great! Many thanks for that! I had ordered the FM3 as a B-stock, but it looks like new. :)
I've already been through a few things: HX Stomp, I have a Kemper here, but somehow I always miss something that my amps give me (Friedman and Morgan). With the FM3 it’s different: a much more transparent sound, logically structured despite its complexity and not that difficult to configure. I compared the FM3 Smallbox amp with my real Smallbox 50 earlier and the sound is spot-on. The Kemper couldn't capture this amp, the FM3 does.
I didn't think I'd be won over by this thing so quickly. Finally, proper mobile recording! :)
In any case, thanks for the great service. :)
Best regards from Berlin

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
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
PURE ENTHUSIASM / THE BEST DECISION EVER !
Dear Jacques
We had a small rehearsal concert at the weekend. A total of 6 bands played. My sound was praised to the skies from all sides. So glad! I am really extremely happy with the FM9. It was the best decision ever! Really a super product that you are selling
Very best regards / Thomas
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
NOW I KNOW, IT CAN GET EVEN BETTER !
Hello Jacques;
the FM3 arrived safe and sound yesterday and I was able to test it right away in the band rehearsal. What can I say...I was sure of my Helix...now I know that it can get even better ;-)
Big praise for your sales work! The fast shipping, the personal letter, and on top of that a box of chocolates...it doesn't get any better than that! Keep it up, keep it all the same!
Regards, Alex
DAMN IT, THIS IS CRAZY
Dear Jacques,
Damn it, this is crazy! The new AxeFX is exactly what I had hoped for - only even better!
Having skipped the second generation this is a real quantum leap for me. It all just sounds so real!
I may just be a very average guitarist, but it is such good fun being able to at least sound like a great one - with all the sounds we know and love from our favourite bands! Now I can finally hear just how different my guitars really sound...
And so far I've only tried out a few of the factory presets and changed very little.
Fantastic! Sorry, have to stop writing... there's a guitar to play ?!
I wish you and your team a great week!
All the best,
Oskar
THE FM3 IS SURELY IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE AT THE MOMENT!
Dear Jacques!
The "Guitarist’s Delight FM3" arrived here safe and sound today and I would like to thank you most sincerely for the nice little attention to detail – in the form of a box of MERCI. Not everyone does this, but it's a lot of fun to deal with people who are so cool! Thanks again for this attention!
About the equipment – what can I say? - I have had many things. From Line 6 Series to Eleven to Headrush Gigboard and Kemper. The FM3 is surely in a different league at the moment (although I also really appreciate the sounds of the Kemper, but that's a different method) and I can't get a big, stupid grin off my face ;)
Now I think I'll save up a bit, because there's still room in my studio desk for one or the other 19" built-in unit - so why not the big brother of the FM3?
Thanks again and best regards from Prellenkirchen, in the far east of Austria.

FRACTAL IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!
Hello,
FM3 has arrived. What can I say… really great device! Sounds absolutely mega.
I've tried them all, Kemper (it's great too), Helix, Strymon, Simplifier, but Fractal is absolutely the best!
Rock on!
Cheers, Oliver
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
BY FAR THE BEST COMPANY WITH THE BEST SUPPORT!
Wow - what can I say!
You are by far the best company with the best support I have experienced so far – seriously!
1000 thanks ;-)
Best regards,
Mathias
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
