Overview

IronAxe is a high-end Physical Modeling simulation of one of the most popular and loved electro-acoustic instruments of all time : the Electric Guitar.

The result of many years of research and development, IronAxe reaches all the authentic beauty and expressivity of a real Electric Guitar by simulating the physics of all the acoustic and electronic components found in the original instrument, preserving the same nuances and multi-techniques playability impossible to perform on standard frozen-sounding sampled instruments.

Break with the past - forget all the old, expensive, bulky sample libraries. With IronAxe you can build your custom Stratocaster©¹ or Telecaster©¹ guitar, choose Pickups type, number and position, set the Tone knobs to get the right sound, select the Plectrum hardness or pluck a String with fingers at any point along its length. Finally take real-time control of all this (and much more...) using a MIDI Keyboard or a real - natively supported - MIDI Guitar.

IronAxe will bring in your next Productions the sound and feel of a real Electric Guitar. And the included full set of analogue modeled Stompboxes, legendary Amp/Cabinets and Room Simulation, make IronAxe a perfect tool for advanced guitar sound designing, without the need of additional (and expensive) external software/hardware units.

A full electro-acoustic setup, just at your fingertips.

Modeling Reality

Modeling Nature and Physics is a growing practice for reaching true-to-life systems simulations with 'alive' feedbacks, including complexity management and unpredictability integration.

While in the past running an accurate Physical Modeling simulation was possible (due to its complexity) only on expensive multi-processor workstations or even computer clusters, today thanks to the exponential increase of modern CPUs' processing power, reaching parity with real instruments is possible in real-time (including polyphony and multi-istances possibilities) at a fraction of the costs.

IronAxe is the first in a series of instruments developed by Xhun Audio to use this revolutionary technology. The core of this kind of approach is the interaction between the Instrument's model, the Performer's model and the Unpredictability simulation.

All the six Strings, the Transducers (Pickups), the Plectrum/Finger excitation and more as well as Performer's actions like Palm Muting, Tapping Harmonics (even muting a String after its excitation is possible) are physically simulated. Add Unpredictability (instrument's and performances' micro-imperfections) to the equation and what you hear at the end of the whole process is given by the interaction of this three worlds.

The result is an 'alive' instrument, a state-of-the-art simulation for an unparalleled realism.

Frisky Having Her Way Apr 2026

Undaunted by the challenges that lay before her, Frisky pressed on, her determination and cunning guiding her through the twists and turns of her journey. At last, she arrived at the entrance to the Golden Catnip's supposed hiding place: a mysterious, ancient temple hidden deep within the heart of Wonderland.

There was Mimsy, the melancholy messenger, who delivered news with a perpetual frown; Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the bumbling duo who stumbled through life with comical ease; and the enigmatic Cheshire Cat, whose mischievous grin seemed to hold secrets and surprises.

In the whimsical world of Wonderland, there lived a spirited and adventurous young feline named Frisky. With a twinkle in her eye and a spring in her step, Frisky was known for her mischievous ways and her uncanny ability to get what she wanted, no matter the cost. Frisky having her way

One sunny afternoon, Frisky set her sights on the most coveted prize in all of Wonderland: the legendary Golden Catnip. This treasured treat was said to possess the power to drive felines wild with delight, and Frisky was determined to get her paws on it.

With a deep breath, Frisky pushed open the creaky doors and slipped inside, her eyes adjusting to the dim light within. The air was thick with the scent of incense and the whispers of ancient secrets. Frisky's ears perked up, and her tail twitched with excitement, as she homed in on the source of the tantalizing aroma: the Golden Catnip. Undaunted by the challenges that lay before her,

In a flash of fur and feline agility, Frisky pounced, claiming the Golden Catnip as her own. The room erupted in a kaleidoscope of color and light, as the treasure's magic was unleashed, sending Frisky into a frenzy of delight.

Without hesitation, Frisky embarked on a daring quest, navigating through the winding streets of Wonderland, dodging curious creatures and outsmarting cunning foes along the way. Her fearless spirit and quick wit served her well, as she encountered a cast of colorful characters, each with their own unique quirks and personalities. In the whimsical world of Wonderland, there lived

For one glorious moment, Frisky had her way, basking in the pure, unadulterated joy of her triumph. And as she emerged from the temple, Golden Catnip in paw, the creatures of Wonderland looked on in awe, knowing that Frisky, the fearless and fabulous feline, had truly earned her place as the queen of whimsy and wonder.
