Fractal Audio Axe- FX Processor - Samples

I stopped listening to the pre-amp and got lost in the guy's playing ability I think I'll give up

Mike.

I looked at the product manual, but although there are possiblity of multitap echoes, it doesn't seem that it's possible to set individually each tap.
And around € 2,000, it's not a cheap product. I guess that you could do the same, or better, with a TC-Electronic Fireworx.

Hiya.
Haven't tried one myself, but I know a couple of chaps that do use them. These are incredible pieces of kit and despite the price - they're £2.5-3k, I think - it's probably fair to say they are incredible value. That said, to get the best out of them, you do need to know what you're doing - the youtube clips really only reflect the guy setting it up - it's a little like judging an AC30's suitability based on a bedroom player's efforts, some know what they're doing, some don't.
I think, though, it's aimed more at the touring guy who wants all his priceless amps in one box - a more expensive, sophisticated version of a Line 6 POD Pro.
To some extent, it's kind of overkill for Shadows stuff, especially when you consider you can more or less replicate HBM's equipment for not much more money and know that the only variable left is you.
Cheers, Julian

I see that EFTP settings have been directly used for programming another device, by a member here who has posted in this thread.

yes, I have an axe fx unit, and if anybody else has got one you will be able to see that it is impossible to program eftp files into it.
