Here is a mint condition Fractal Audio AX8 Amp Modeler/Multi-FX Processor. I am the original owner and received my invitation back in March. It has seen light use at home only. Comes exactly as I received it in the original box and with the most recent firmware (v3.51). I will also provide the buyer the Fremen Preset Pack files I purchased for $50. Not all presets were put into the unit, but you will get them all and they sound amazing! You can check them out here: http://axefremen.blogspot.com/2016/04/fremen-ax8-20-presets-pack.html  Please note I bought the "alternate" version of the files and do not have any of the 3rd party IR's that needed to be purchased separately, just the free ones, but all the "normal" files are also there along with the cab recipes (all explained on Fremen's site). Shipping is $25 for Continental US and $100 for International (Please contact me first if you are international to confirm I can ship to where you are. Also, I will have to declare the true value for insurance purposes). I am also selling a Behringer micromix separately that I was using for playing the AX8 through headphones with music. Thanks for looking!From the Fractal Audio website:
AX8 Amp Modeler/Multi-FX Processor.Quantum Amp Modeling, Ultra-Res™ Cab Sims, and Fractal-Quality EffectsThe new AX8 is an all-in-one Amp Modeler + Multi-Effects Pedalboard Processor. It features many of the same leading-edge technologies utilized in our flagship Axe-Fx II processor, now offered in a floor unit at a fantastic price. Quantum Amp Modeling gives the AX8 over 222 exquisitely modeled amps that recreate the incredible nuanced tone and feel of real tube amps: sparkling cleans, elusive “edge of breakup” tones, and everything from warm, touch-sensitive overdrive to face-melting distortion. Ultra-Res™ Speaker Simulations offer a range of cab tones, with 130+ “Factory” cabs, plus 512 “User Cab” memory slots to store entries from our celebrated Cab Packs. Add to this a stunning selection of effects utilizing our state-of-the-art algorithms: G3™ drive pedals, HD reverbs, compressors, delays, EQs, choruses, phasers, flangers, rotary, tremolos, pitch shifting, wah, and many more. Above all, the AX8 sounds great, with a pristine, high-quality signal path and the signal processing power that makes Fractal Audio Systems the industry standard for today's most discriminating professional guitarists.The AX8 is “built-like-a-tank” to be road-worthy and reliable. It sports a signature black steel chassis and aircraft aluminum end-panels, a convenient top handle/guard, and eleven quiet, durable, solid-state stomp switches with no mechanical contacts to fail. Hands-on editing has never been easier than on the AX8. Dedicated LED-ring knobs give direct access to eight “must-have” amp controls: Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Depth, Master, and Level. Add to this five additional “soft knobs” beneath a brilliant LCD display, six buttons, including SHIFT for extra functions, front-panel LED meters/indicators, 27 LEDs in three colors, and dedicated knobs for output levels. The back panel contains an instrument input with Fractal Audio’s signature “Secret Sauce” circuitry, stereo main outputs with XLR, ¼” Humbuster™, and SPDIF out, plus a stereo-in/stereo-out effects loop that can also be repurposed as a utility input or output. This allows the AX8 to output “cab sim” signal to “front of house” while simultaneously addressing a power amp and conventional guitar speakers for on-stage “backline”. USB, MIDI IN, and MIDI OUT ports round out the set. Above all, the AX8 features an extremely high-quality signal path to deliver ultra-low noise and pristine sound.  Quantum Amp Modeling + Ultra-Res Speaker Simulation  The AX8 features over 222 Quantum amp models utilizing the same industry leading amp modeling technology as our flagship Axe-Fx II. Fractal's amp modeling sets the industry standard against which all others are measured, and is backed by the endorsement of many of the world's greatest musicians across all genres of music.  Only Fractal offers Ultra-Res™ Speaker Cab simulations for enhanced IR performance without intolerable latency. The AX8 is also compatible with our entire library of Cab-Packs. Exquisite Effects Fractal Audio is just as well-known for effects as it is for amp modeling, with a long list of incredible names standing behind our "no compromises" effects technology. The effects of the AX8 use the same core technology and algorithms as those of the Axe-Fx II. An impressive number of effects are included, with what we believe to be the complete package needed by the majority of professional players in the ultimate "grab-and-go" unit.   All of the amp models from the Axe-Fx IIHundreds of Speaker Cab Sims29+ Drive Pedal modelsDozens of Delays19 Reverb typesTotally customizable WahHighly customizable WhammyFixed and Intelligent HarmonyShimmer, Crystals, etc.Phaser & Uni-VibeFlanger, ChorusPanner/TremoloRotary Speaker7 powerful Filter typesGraphic & Parametric EQs4 Compressor typesLimitier/GateFront-end Noise GateMono Guitar SynthBuilt in LooperNew "true" Tape EchoAnd more...The effects in the AX8 offer “XY” switching, giving each effect two completely different sound settings from a single block instance.
