The Axe-Fx II is an advanced digital preamp and effects processor for guitar, bass, and other musical instruments. It
replaces amps, speakers, microphones, stompboxes, studio processors, and more. It is an all-in-one, end-to-end
great tone solution in a single black box.
Inside, a virtual environment allows you to build your dream rig (hundreds of them, in fact). Choose from an
inventory of hundreds of classic and innovative components. Select and arrange things any way you like, limited
only by the unit’s ample CPU resources and your imagination. “Dial in” your signature sound using basic controls,
or go deeper with advanced parameters, then save presets for instant recall when playing, performing, or
recording.
The sound is of uncompromising quality, due both to extremely high standards of hardware design and to our
advanced proprietary software algorithms. The Axe-Fx II, like its predecessors, asserts that digital has reclaimed its
birthright as the superior solution for musical instrument processing. Words fall short. You only need to plug in and
play to realize that this is “the real deal.”

Amps and dirt pedals - Helix Native sounds quite good after the latest updates + it has similar effects to the Axe (the newer 'dynamic' reverb and delay are excellent, I don't think the older effects...
