AxeFx/Blackouts direct VIDEO Anyway You Want It solo

[samhill]

I probably should have done another take, but I just didn't have time this morning so there are lots of clams, I should just not play in the morning

This is the AxeFx direct into ProTools with a really bad backing track...lol. I forgot to bypass the drive block when I was doing the chord work at the end of the video.

I have never played a Sir before... Since I am blind, do you mind describing the guitar body style/setup a little more? Arent Sirs very similar to Strats?

Re: AxeFx/Blackouts direct VIDEO Anyway You Want It solo

suhr makes a pretty wide range of strat and telly style guitars that can be configured anywhere along the range of traditional to modern ... they can have 3 single coils or H S H or dual humbuckers ... they are all very well made and are usually more expensive than a corresponding fender model

sam hill, do you find the blackouts and axe/fx combination to be especially compressed sounding? or is it just that combination of settings (guitar volume control / patch gain, etc) that makes it sound so compressed?

This particular guitar has a slightly asymmetrical strat-style body with thinner horns and a 24 fret neck with angled headstock. Ebony fretboard, gold hardware, double-locking Floyd setup. Looks like it's got a mahogany body with a first-class quilted maple top and natural masked binding. The finish is some sort of subtle honey, amber or fire burst that's face-melting beautiful.

I'd say it's a combination of my settings, pickups, playing and YT compression

It is a mahogony body and neck, Indian Rosewood fretboard, stainless steel jumbo frets, quilt maple top, Gotoh locking tuners, Gotoh Floyd, Seymour Duncan AHB1 Blackouts..plays like butter. Yes the colour is Fireburst

Ahhh, so that board is rosewood. Very, very nice. Watching you play it I can see how smooth it plays- the strings seem to have just the right amount of give without being floppy. And I love the silkiness of SS frets. Between Suhr and G&L I've got some serious GAS issues.

Sounds like a very nice guitar indeed.

Word. That tone is Fat City. Me likey.

Samhill - comparing to your OD100's, how close does that AxeFX come to copping a real tube amp in terms of tone and feel? I would imagine it would come way closer than anything Line 6 has.

little on the hot side (distortion) for my tastes, but awesome solos, dokken riffs (I gotta learn unchain the night now that I see how it's played), and very stunning looking axe.
