The Turbo DSP option provides a 25% higher clock speed allowing for more complex presets.THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL GUITAR PROCESSOR The Axe-Fx III is the latest in Fractal Audio's line of the world’s most powerful all-in-one processors for guitar, bass, and other instruments. This new model offers their latest "Cygnus" amp modeling technology, thousands of UltraRes™ speaker cab simulations, and state-of-the-art effect algorithms, all backed with more raw power and feature upgrades than any Fractal Audio product before. Fractal Audio's vision was to take the Axe-Fx to a whole new level: to create a totally redesigned platform that sounds better, does more, and is easier to use. Equipped with four processors, the Axe-Fx III contains more raw processing power than any guitar product ever made, by far. The hardware of the Axe-Fx III was designed around a streamlined new workflow. The centerpiece is a dazzling new high-contrast full-color display with 30x the resolution of previous products. This display works alongside five new endless-rotary push encoders. These “push-knobs” do different things on different pages, with labels to show dynamic functions. The end result is a user experience that’s immediately more intuitive. The display also excels at animation for meters, modifiers, and more. Better sound quality has been achieved through an audiophile-grade signal path. The difference shines through in lower noise floor, pristine clarity, and better USB audio performance than most dedicated audio interfaces. Computer audio integration now includes a professional-quality 24-bit/48k 8×8 interface. Record multiple tracks of processed audio at the same time, plus a DI. The re-amping workflow is improved with independent monitoring of backing tracks and re-processed guitar tones while you dial in a sound. Physically, the Axe-Fx III continues our tradition of combining extraordinary design with manufacturing quality rugged enough to withstand the rigors of life on the road. The unit is housed in a steel enclosure with a one-piece anodized aluminum faceplate/bezel featuring a glowing Axe-Fx III logo. More Product Details...

IMPORTANT WARNINGS - READ BEFORE ORDERINGThe LB-2 is an 8 ohm device. Be sure to connect its Amp In jack to the proper output on your amplifier to avoid damage. Mismatching impedance can result in damage to your amp. The maximum power rating of the LB-2 is 100W. Do not connect the LB-2 to any amplifier that is rated greater than 100W as this can damage the unit and/or the amp.The X-Load LB-2 Load Box represents the pinnacle of speaker emulation technology for live use or recording. It allows you to use a traditional tube amp without connecting a speaker cabinet. The X-Load LB-2 provides an 8Ω load (100W maximum) while outputting a balanced or unbalanced line level signal. Unlike other load boxes and attenuators the X-Load LB-2 uses Fractal Audio Systems' Dynamic Impedance™ technology to create a level of realism never achievable before. Record your amp in its sweet spot without deafening volume, or get great tone consistently without the hassles of a speaker cab and microphone setup. It is important to note that the X-Load LB-2 does NOT simulate the characteristic sound of a loudspeaker. This is done by routing your DI Amp signal through speaker simulation hardware—like that found in Fractal Audio's award-winning Axe-Fx or FM3 products—or software, like their Cab-Lab application/plugin. The X-Load LB-2 features a Speaker Thru jack so you can connect a real speaker while also feeding line signal to a recorder or speaker simulator. The Voicing switch shifts the resonance of the load. The “UK” setting is characteristic of the typical British guitar speaker, while the “US” position replicate the lower resonance of a typical American guitar speakers.

New and exclu­sive to G66, develo­ped with Marco Fanton, this tiny cabinet is a super-linear, super-compact solu­tion, that provi­des super stereo sound when used in pairs and per­fect for the Axe-Fx and FM3 and the ideal compa­nion for every modeler.  These cabinets don’t just sound good for some­thing so small. No, they sound great. Period. They also happen to be extre­mely compact. In a blind­fold test, the MF.10 ('MF' for Marco Fanton) comes across as power­ful and trans­parent, with all the punch of a 4x12 cabinet. The fact that it is doing this with only a 10” spea­ker is quite simply unbe­lievable. The deci­sion not to use 12” spea­kers was a delibe­rate one as, despite being ideal for nor­mal guitar cabs, in FRFR cabinets they tend to emphasize cer­tain bass frequen­cies too much. A 10” speaker, on the other hand, can reproduce mid frequencies with better clarity – and it’s those mids that are so vitally important for the guitar.  Including 3m Cordial/Neutrik Speakon Cable.

Exclusive to G66 and developed in collaboration with Marco Fanton: the new MF.10 PRO/M, available only in the mono version, combines magnificent sound with impressive power. Per­fect for the Axe-Fx, FM9 and FM3 and the ideal com­panion for every mode­ler. This speaker cabinet boasts even higher power than the stereo version and impresses with its pleasant sound quality and consistent frequency response across all frequency ranges. Additionally, the PRO/M version features an adjustable line output. More Product Details...

Brand new and exclusive at G66: The RED SOUND Stage Cab RK8. Handcrafted to perfection, it combines magnificent sound with impressive power. Perfect for the Axe-Fx, FM9, and FM3 - the ideal companion for any modeler..  The single-channel power amplifier delivers the necessary power for the special 8-inch speaker and ensures high sound pressure level (SPL) thanks to the RAW-P system. The exponential driver and the special RED SOUND SICA® woofer are combined in a COAXIAL-DRIVER configuration. This eliminates phase problems on the front panel and results in a single emission point. All instruments can benefit from the definition in the frequency range - especially synthesizers and other keyboards, guitars, basses, and acoustic guitars. This allows you to perceive every nuance in the sound. Completely handmade with meticulous attention to detail, this compact monitor is recommended for professional guitarists and bassists who are looking for the feeling of an amplifier at their back. Perfect for any musical genre - also for you.  More Product Details...
