Axe-FX test clip

[StillLearnin']

Well, I just got it today... I dig it, though out of 256 factory presets it has about half a dozen useful ones :-). I ended up just jumping in and creating a couple of my own patches to get a feel for it. Excuse the sloppy playing - I wanted to test my most recent drum mix also so I kept it to less that 40 seconds. I gotta admit, this thing is freakin' awesome. I can see may Marshalls will start to collect dust shortly :-/

Too bad it's not tube, other wise it would sound good.

(I hope you can detect the sarcasm, haha. Kick ass playing dude. )

You know how the cork sniffers are! I'm pretty sure they've started warming up to the Axe-FX, though.

I think.

More than you might think. The Axe-FX gets tons of love on TGP. Heck, I gave up my Two Rock after I tried one. I've had mine for ten months and I have not had one iota of amp or FX GAS. To be honest, I've only powered up one of my tube amps once in that time frame and after A/B'ing it with the Fractal, I turned it back off.

Tone has potential so you're most of the way there, but it needs work.
Nice playing too

Re: Axe-FX test clip

That's a mighty nice tone, and some really cool playing! Wow!

What improvements would you suggest?

Do you use a monitor with the AxeFX? If so, which one?


StillLearnin', do you wanna share the backing track? Sounds really cool.

I just have the AFX plugged straight into my Audiofire 4 right now and just do everything through my control room monitors. That's what kills me after being a tube snob for years :-). It might not capture every nuance of standing in front of my half stack, but then again, it's been in my possession for a little more than 12 hours at this point so I'll revisit that in a couple months.
As far as the backing track - I only did a little 30 second jam since I wasn't really wanting to get in too deep (had other stuff to do) - so there's not much to share...

The bass was just done direct - not AFX. Drums are Superior 2.0

Re: Axe-FX test clip

I see. Very good sound all around.

For home practice & recording, I monitor through a pair of Mackie MR5s. I also have a QSC HPR122 if I want to move air but for home use the Mackies are sufficient.

Ah, okay.

Re: Axe-FX test clip

That's real nice! ain't quite tube " loose" but I am rather picky in that regard. Looking forward to hearing more of your tinkering with it!
