Another AxeFX guitar sound test

[TheDude]

Just a bunch of random riffs after each other in a chugg party

The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Baritone with a 500T passive pickup. Quadtracked through a recto and a fractal custom model. The Bass is also through the AxeFX. Drums are programmed.

It's straight out of the machine. Nothing added. What do you think?

Sounds massive! congrats dude

Jesus that sounds good - so that's all AxeFX, and with its own built in cab-simulation? Pretty incredible, it sounds very organic

The cab simulation is IR based and there's 10 user slots, so... But yes, the built in are as good, but you know, If I can add my setup, then I'll do it.

i love those gnarly palm-muted tones! kickass tone, dude!

 

[Splat88]

Holy shit that does sound good. But the price! I can only dream of owning such things. I sure hope Revalver III lives up to all the hype or I may have to save up for one of these.

 

[JonWormwood]

How much are they going for? Sounds great!

 

[TheDude]

Wow, thanks guys! I was sort of expecting "sounds pretty good, but..." To say that I'm happy with it is THE understatement of the century. I'm having a hard time getting anything done, since I'm just diving in and exploring it's possibilities, and so far I've only touched the effect blocks.

It's an expensive piece of equipment, but in this case, you actually get what you pay for IMHO. This thing is insane. I haven't heard Revalver III, but I think it's the only thing that is comparable when it comes to amplifier modeling. I like to tour with it though, so for me the AxeFx is a steal.

We'll be running the bass and guitar through the same Axe-FX, with two independent rigs going at the same time. Guitar in Stereo and bass in mono. Cool, huh?

 

[fuge86]

holy shit nice tunes!!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

WOW; the best AxeFx tone I've ever heard!

I was also expecting something like "yeah, sounds fine, but..."

You can do that? Sweet jesus, now it's starting to make up for its cost if you only need one for two instruments...

 

[elmoe]

damn! that sounds fucking sweet!

The architecture is completely open within the AxeFx and with four inputs and four outputs it's a breeze. At the moment I have a fx-send before the cab, and one cable going from output two to a QSC poweramp that runs two 4X12's. At the same time I have the XLR's going to the mixer in stereo, so I can play through cabs or direct with a slight touch on the "mute".

[bulb]

im seriously starting to save up money for this unit, and after hearing this i really need it in my life hahah.

What do you mean, it doesn't suck dick and give back rubs at the same time? Bullshit! A tube amp could do it...
