Mirrors my experiences as well... went through a ton of high end gear, including Axe products, eventually sold everything and landed back on the Eleven Rack.
Why?
Simple... for the money it provides the best tone bed, the best interface and the best variety.
The Axe FX is more capable, sure it is, but it's not better by any means.
The Kempler is another awesome product, but again, for the difference in price just doesn't make sense.
My assumption is the internet is what has killed the Eleven Rack. The product itself is phenomenal, but everyone bagged on them from the start.
It amazes me how opposed so many people are to this product having never even played one. They just look at the price and conclude it must be one fifth the quality of the Axe FX.
Well, worked out for us as we were able to get one for cheap cheap cheap!
Says the guy who told me the axe fx 2 wasn't all it was cracked up to be having never played one . Not trying to be a dick just proving your point;)
Haha... I never said above I played an Axe FX 2, I mirrored my experiences stating what is true, that I've owned both, and played through both an Axe FX Standard and an Axe FX Ultra.
While the Axe FX II provides a slightly different interface and a second CPU for amp simulations, the bulk of tones produced are the same between the two products.
As I've also said before, the Axe FX is an outstanding product with amazing tone and functionality. But, at the end of the day, so does the Eleven Rack, and for the difference in cost, I kept the 11.
Your mileage will most certainly vary.
