Yes, tried to pull myself away but I was pinged earlier. What's another day? You're welcome to take your own advise and ignore me just like you have Coldfrixon. His credibility with you really has zero to do with you taking his blind test, especially if the tonal disparities are as extreme as you make them out to be. Should be easy for you to guess and prove yourself, yet you refuse at every turn. Instead of actually proving your point you avoid it. Ignoring him is clearly just because he's been the most direct and honest person on this thread that has answered criticism with evidence, examples, and reasonable deductions. You're simply hiding to avoid embarrassment, and it's obvious.
I have to chuckle again at your paranoid accusations and assumptions. Mr D? Considering I know who I am and who I'm not, this only further illustrates what I was discussing earlier about you making your own straw men to attack. Your accusations and assumptions about me have changed about 4 or 5 times, so what's a few more? Obviously it's more important that you figure out "who I am" rather than what I actually write, which several in this thread have corroborated. And let's not be frantic and emotional, I can write plainly about your reasoning (or lack thereof) style without being emotive. Compare that to your rambling and over-encompassing pettiness, I think there's a marked difference that's obvious to anyone with an IQ above an acorn.
As for the difference in "feel", your magic word that is your arbitrary catch-all phrase to hide behind, that would have to come from someone who has taken time to play and learn the Axe 3. I don't even own an Axe 2 to conclusively compare, but the sound samples I've heard, including the clips I & Coldfrixon have posted show you can make just about zero tonal differentiation between the 2. At that point I don't know what "feel" you need and its plainly obvious you wouldn't accept any example of it that were given to you. You've already passed over Axe videos and told everyone just to look up the bad ones. You've passed over Metallica clips from their last tour and focused on 1 TV performance. You've passed over a blind test to prove that your ears can detect a difference between the 2. So far every attempt at getting you to confront anything other than your predetermined conclusions has been ignored or met with focus on insignificant minutiae that deviates from the overall point. It's just tiny satellite battles as your position consistently recedes. The moment the dust settles you go back to your talking points.
So yeah, Axe 3 looks like a pretty cool tool.
