Getting used to the Axe II - 5150 model!

[Nolly]

I just recorded something a bit more DM-y with trem picking etc since that last clip was pretty short. Unfortunately I'm bass-less today so this is just guitars and drums:

404 on that last clip. this tone slays, best Axe tone I've heard too.

 

[Virgil.]

Sick, love the clip Nolly!

 

[Nolly]

Wicked, thanks dudes. Weird about the 404 on that link, seems to work ok for me

 

[JeffTD]

I'm also getting a 404, actually.

 

[Fugdup]

That tone is sick.
Makes me want an Axe FX II.

just had a listen again, and i'm just as impressed as the first time i heard it. definitely the most impressive axefx metal clip i've heard to date. awesome job, nolly!


the last clip is still 404 :/

same here, this is like the tone i always had in my head.
with my standard i came close but never so damn close as this one

Nolly I want your ViK!! I also want an Axe-Fx II if it only has this patch. Everything else that I've heard from it has been inferior to the original Axe-Fx.

Amazing job dude!

 

[Nolly]

Damn, I have no idea what's up with that link not working. In honesty it's not really anything special, without bass it lacks a lot of the power of the first mixtest.

Besides that, really glad you guys are still digging the clip

 

[Backe]

really sweet guitar tone! love how you really hear the 'string' during the palm mutes.

Is this just the straight up axe fx? Or is your master chain having an effect? And/Or additional eq and what not in your daw?

There's a little post-eq but nothing that really changes the character in any way: bandpassing, high shelf boost, very small and wide cut at 350Hz-ish, couple of notched uglies in the 2-3.5k.
The master chain is just comp and limiting - no EQ on the stereo bus.

were you using the AxeII as an interface?

i'm wondering how the axe performs as an interface in OS X and logic. i think you're also using logic, right?

 

[Nolly]

Nah, I run the Axe through my RME Fireface, and yes I use Logic
