The AxSys 212 features a full DSP (Digital Sound Processor) preamp that "models" an entire tube amp. Two, twelve-inch Eminence speakers are used in this 100-watt stereo amp. (that's 50 watts per channel)

The main advantage of using a DSP preamp is the ability to "model" just about any existing guitar amp sound instantly along with any combination digital effects known to man. (With the right software and good programming, you can model some amp/effect combos not possible in reality). The AxSys uses two powerful DSP chips to get the job done for 17 simultaneous 24-bit digital effects with stereo processing.

There are 128 preset/128 user memory locations for instant recall of the following effect/combinations: noise gate; hum canceller; compressor; wah; auto-wah; volume; auto-volume; five-band graphic EQ; phase shifter; stereo tremolo; stereo chorus; stereo flanger; stereo rotary speaker; room reverb; hall reverb; stereo, mono, ping-pong, tap and dynamic delays; amp gain; amp select; speaker select; physically modeled spring reverb; acoustic guitar simulator and digital tuner.

All of this DSP power is easily used and controlled via the front panel controls. The control settings are instantly recalled and adjusted at anytime. You may export and store all parameters through MIDI System Exclusive to an external MIDI sequencer/computer and likewise import patches from your computer as well as from other AxSys amps just as synth players trade synth patches.
