Dude I just got this video randomly in my recommendations and man some of the licks you play are just crazy interesting to me.

This is awesome and well worth the money if you can afford it, all these tube guys need to stop being so critical and give credit to where it's due

So nice to see a demo from a guy that can actually play :-)
Nice chops, man.

Excellent. Thanks Cooper.  It's really interesting to hear the back story behind each preset.  What each preset is showcasing,   how it's best used, best type of GTR to use it with, etc..  Like most things, once you hear the back story, the thing becomes so much more valuable.  :-)

I want one so bad. These were the sounds that i had in my head for years. in one box. simplicity and awesomeness. Good job fractal and god job G66 for a great great demo!

[EricJohn]

What a great tool! I'm going to have to throw down and add this to my Hughes & Kettner rigs and give me something to play with in between all the other sounds I hear in my head! Thank you Fractal! Just when you say you don't need another toy, here it comes! Worthy investment for me! Will surprise the band and the other guitar player for sure![

So hard to choose... Lovin' the diezels and the splawn, but mesas are killin' it as well! Great riffs!

Your preset creations and development is very cool. But bro I gotta say, I sorta forget about the FX and could listen to you play all day long, just solo like that. Your playing is fantastic, liquid, melodic, guitar technique highly polished. I saw that sweep!! This is not from a music fan, I'm a classically trained pianist, keyboardist, guitar hack, and composer. Why don't you lay down some pads on keys and D minor 6 and just solo with that long delay synth thing, and make a chill track. It's the great kernel for not only a song, but a Suite, and album, an aspect of your style that really could develop into several pieces of music. I'm telling you, you've got something stylistic going on there, and it is wonderful. Great creativity. Have a nice day. Duane.

Awesome vid Cooper = thanks. I've just picked up the Axe FX XL & this is really useful as Im struggling with the existing presets (most just dont work for me!). 

[jessereyna]

Hey i like your playing style man...you've got all of the musical playing styles down that are commercialized. Good job.

[spark]

I finally got me an axe fx ii the other day. Way late to the party but dang is it ever good

[JJF]

Boy, you got some long fingers! The ladies must LOVE you.

@Timothy Williams, it's a own bridge of Music Man. It's like a Floyd Rose, but without the locking nuts I think. You can change tunings easier, but you also sacrifice a bit of the tuning stability...

Fantastic demo! I wish I had the bread to buy this unit...

[markostanosevic]

I use the noise gate// ratio and trim settings to kill the buzz noise. Imput gate as well. .
