The boundaries of guitar are changing. What if your rig could go beyond guitar? What if the foundation of your signal chain could go above and beyond amps and effects?
It’s a question that’s been asked – and answered – by the MELOFTY Axom Max; an all-new category of guitar pedal that breaks beyond the barriers conventional; amp modelers and multi-effects to deliver one of the most comprehensive musical platforms available today.
It is, in effect, the guitar amp, effects, and recording processor of the future. It brings together 50+ synth engines, 70+ instrument models, 400+ amp models, and generative AI in a single creative platform – giving you the freedom to explore sounds far beyond the traditional guitar rig.
At its core is DeepSynth™, a proprietary technology designed to open up new dimensions of synthesis and instrument modeling. From familiar amp tones to synths, instruments, and entirely new sonic textures, it puts a much wider palette of sounds at the player’s fingertips.
And the response is already coming from some serious players. Alex Hutchings, Devin Townsend, Vinai T, Hans Platz, and more have been putting it through its paces, exploring what happens when the boundaries of the guitar rig are pushed further.
A new way to experience tone
The MELOFTY Axom Max is the world’s first Hybrid Audio Processor. Its tone library of amps, cabs, instruments, synths and effects has nearly 900 professional options in one platform designed to take guitarists into new sonic horizons without requiring complex and large signal chains.
At the heart of that age of experimentation is MELOFTY’s game-changing DeepSynth technology. It gives instant access to more than 50 electronic synth sounds and 70 instrument models spanning Eastern and Western instruments. Unlike other guitar synths, this can all be dialed in without requiring a conventional MIDI pickup.
It also supports generative AI tone creation. Have a sound in your head? Ask the Axom Max’s tone prompt and it will give you what you’re looking for, calling on a wealth of amp, cab and effects models to get there.
Not only does it give you access to the tones you already know and love, but provides the foundation for you to go beyond and create new ones. There is no limit but your own imagination.
Advancing amp modeling with MFIM
The Axom Max uses MELOFTY’s Multidimensional Fusion Inverse Modeling (MFIM) technology. Each amp model is built around a precise calibration centred on 9,856 parameters. You can profile your own amp at home, upload it to the cloud, and explore a growing community of player-created amps online.
The platform offers three tonal approaches for the AMP & CAB system – Original, Modern, Studio – for a trio of distinct sounds. It also supports native NAM A2 ecosystem expansion, proving its forward-thinking credentials by partnering with one of the fastest-rising open source modeling platforms of our time.
From playing to creating
Despite its tonal superiority, the Axom Max stretches further to support the complete creative process, from writing and recording in the studio, to performing live on stage.
As a performance pedal, it features nine fully customizable footswitches and an independent expression pedal for curating the ultimate sound switching system. And, with its seven inch HD color touchscreen, the Axom Max provides a visual platform for organising signal chains and configuring performance setups.
A killer combo for live performances that require complex parameter changes. In action, it supports four footswitch modes: Preset, Subpatch, Stomp and Hybrid.
As a comprehensive performance tool, the Axom Max also incorporates an integrated eight-in / eight-out audio interface, a 60-minute looper, MIDI connectivity, an effects loop, XLR connections, and a microphone jack, allowing it to function as more than a guitar processor. In effect, you can build your entire live show around it.
More than just a modeler
The MELOFTY Axom Max explores a new frontier for guitar modelers, simply by going beyond what conventional digital amp platforms provide. It doesn’t just put more effects, amps and presets into a box; it changes the way you interact with them.
Create tones with a prompt, dive into deep synth waters without the need for reconfiguring your guitar, and curate the ultimate live performance tool. Take it in the studio, write with the looper, explore the ever-growing assortment of amp and effects models.
You won’t just get the tools to play through the tones you have in your head. You’ll get the chance to go further and find ones you’d never have imagined would come from a guitar.
