The first generation of the Axe-Fx processor featured two models: Axe-Fx Standard (2006) and Axe-Fx Ultra (2008). The Ultra had twice the processing power, more memory and Ultra-only effects. With the release of the Axe-Fx II in May 2011, Fractal has discontinued production of these models. They are still being used because the effects still are top-notch. Firmware development for these devices has also ended.
"I really wish I could update the Standard and Ultra but it is simply out of memory. There are literally 1309 words left (out of 128K) in the Ultra's EPROM.
