I was kinda meh on this preamp until this video. Maybe because the dude's got a clear Lukather fetish (as do I) but I am aligning with his taste here big time. Maybe it's the Ownhammer Bogner IR he used in this video that is speaking to me more than the stock ones?
Either way I'm into it.

Tell me that the axe fx x88 model sounds similar so I can stop GAS’ing for this.

Just threw a couple of X88’s into my dual amp Axe III patch, complete with Leon’s SPX settings for delay. While I’m sure it’s not quite as satisfying as the real deal, it does sound….. 
Crisis averted……
for now…….

Worked on a complete rewire of the music room this morning.
Unfortunately with the reconfig of the room, I can’t blast this joker in stereo 412 config yet until I get some longer speaker cables. Should be in full flamethrower mode by end of next week.
Have spent about half an hour running this via the main outs into the AxeFX into studio monitors. Altered clean mode is awesome. Some chorus and multi-delay and it’s cooking the dark 80’s clean I like. Crunch is fantastic with my strat, need to check the LP. With my Ibby (hot pickups) crunch wants to gallop into high gain territory. Very tight and snappy with strat.
Spent about 3 minutes in overdrive mode because you know exactly what you’re getting there. (And I mainly got it for clean and crunch
)
Hoping to fiddle with it a little more this afternoon watching some football.

I appreciate the concern man. My old man passed away. It’s been tough, but I’m crawling back out of the hole.
