Calling All Axe FX II Users In S.E. Area!!

JazzPartyHats

Right, bit of a favour to ask of you axe fx ii toting, fretboard forumites!!

I'm currently stuck in the middle of the modern guitarists, digital dilemma: Kemper or Axe Fx?

Now, Ive had a good go on a mates kemper even made a few profiles of my current amps and Im dead impressed but, I haven't been able to source an axe fx ii to try. So, if there are any axe fx ii users out there who would be happy to show off their magic black box and happen to be in the Kent/Sussex/London area, I would be most grateful for your help!!

Shoot me a pm or reply to thread if you'd be happy to host, or pop over to mine (Kent) for half hour or so

Cheers

Mike

Exact Location?

Im actually up in Nottingham - but I have a large "work" area.  If a daytime is suitable it may be possible to do a mid day type demo/trial.  

I dont get as far down as London but its all relative.  I suspect your to south for rme, but you never know.

I've got the opposite issue that I currently have access to an AxeFX and would really like to try a Kemper!

I'm Suffolk / Cambridge based.

I'm currently borrowing an Axe Ultra for evaluation purposes.

@moniquitexe

The AFX Ultra is good.  The 2 (and XL etc) are better.  The modelling has come on a little in response.  Its more open and needs much less, if any, tuning to get great tones.  The Ultra just ran out of juice to get where cliff was going.  If the Ultra is decent for you, you'll love the 2.  If you cant get on with the interface/programming of the Ultra - you wont get on with the 2 either.

fWIW, Cambridge is possibly within my daytime demo area.  I have customers to visit in Peterborough, Northampton and Wellingborough.

Ideally I'd like to try the axe ii with latest firmware just to give it a fair crack. Appreciate the help though bud.
