    What Prompted You To Buy A Fractal?

    I had been chasing the perfect chug tone for years and I found a video of Misha Mansoor on the Axe II with an Uberschall preset. It was the sound I had in my head for years so I got one and after 2 IIs, an AX8, FM3, and an Axe III, I haven't looked back.

    Palm Muting Tone Shaping

    Use a TS808, turn the drive to zero or 1, put the volume between 7-10, bump the mids around 1200 and call it a day. That'll get you that 2000s metalcore sound with a little more clarity. This is assuming you're using a 5150 or recto like mentioned above but you can do it with Friedmans or any...

    SoundMan POV

    Ah ya, I get what you're saying now. I think we all fall for that trap at times. I know I certainly do!
  5. TheGoatLord

    SoundMan POV

    I think people understand this the wrong way. It's not saying that if you want a high gain tone to just track multiple midgain tracks and they'll suddenly become high gain. It's saying that for recording, the more gain you have, the less clarity you'll get once you put down multiple tracks. The...

    SoundMan POV

    As a former touring guitarist, all of these are spot on. Less gain in general just makes you sound better! If you're playing metal, use a boost pedal and turn the gain down... you'll get the same crunch but with a lot more clarity. Mids are the heart and soul of your guitar in the mix. Scooped...

    Just something that I really, really love about the Axe FX 3

    Not to mention that every night you play, the mic placement is going to be different and unless you're in a larger touring group, the person running sound is going to be different. Even if your tube amp sounded 100% the same at every venue (it doesn't), you have other MASSIVE variables that...

    Triple Rectifier - Why no one talks about it?

    Had a triple for years and hated it. I think most people gravitate towards the dual which has less headroom and more bounce to it.
  10. TheGoatLord

    How long maximum did you stay on the same preset?

    All I need is my 5150 preset and I'm happy 99% of the time to be honest. I bought the AxeFx originally to stop carrying around a huge rig. I was happy then with one amp and a bunch of pedals, not much has changed.

    AFIII Korn - Falling Away From Me

    Interesting. I've owned a few rectos in the past (dual and triple) and could never get them to sound good with the MV that high. They always seemed to just fart out now matter how much I turned the lows down. Either way, you nailed the tone and I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting and...

    AFIII Korn - Falling Away From Me

    Rectos are all about low MV with a cranked drive in front of them. Most of the "recto" sound that we're all familiar with is a boosted dual recto with the MV only turned up to where you get some nice bloom. Give it a little more mids than you would think, pull the bass back, and hit it with a...

    What do you do to make the Axe feel fluid and as close to amp+pedals as you can get?

    Do you mean in terms of the feel of the amps or making it feel like a pedalboard setup? In regards to the amp feel, it already feels exactly like my real amps so I don't do anything special there. For controlling everything, when I first started with the AxeFxII, I tried to make it like a...

    The AX8 and II are still amazing units and I'd be happy to have one. That said, the III is a nice step up.

    from Friedman BE100 Deluxe to Axe FX III?

    Not a Friedman but I switched from 2 real Bogners (XTC and Uberschall) and I've never looked back. The Axe Nails the Friedmans as well. As long as you know what you're getting into (recorded sound vs amp in the room) I don't think you'll be sad with the AxeIII

    What am I doing wrong? AFX3 sounds awful when played loud

    A little late to the party but the Austin Buddy presets have a toe down wah in them. If you dont have a pedal plugged in and turned off, they will all have a cocked wah sound to them because the wah in the preset is cocked. Plug a pedal in or delete the wah block. I had the same issue...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.01 Beta 1 Public Beta

    Cygnus Poll - Honest Question - Improvement?

    Coming from a FM3 to the AxeIII, the FIRST thing I noticed was how easy it was to get that amp in the room thump from FW16. All in all, it's subtle (as are all the updates now) but it was noticeable right out of the box from a feel/sound perspective

    Cygnus Gain

    Haha, I had a triple as well. Young me thought it was the coolest amp out there. I got a Bogner Uberschal a few years later and never touched the recto again. Now with the FAS stuff, I haven’t even turned on a tube amp in years!

    AFX3.. yeh or ney

    Honestly, I’m in the camp that for simple use, and assuming you’re happy with the 2, there’s probably not a huge reason to upgrade. Yes, the 3 sounds better and feels better but it’s not night and day. The 2 sounded and felt amazing, we all remember, and that hasn’t changed. If you want the...

    Picking a cabinet for dedicated use with AxeFX 3

    If you want the best of both worlds, a good frfr is the way to go. I’ve had a couple and settled on the Friedman asm12. It sounds/feels just like a cab but gives the option to use cab sims so I’m not locked into one sound. That said, If you really want a 412, a jcm800 cab is a good starting...

    New Axe-Fx III vs used Axe-Fx II?

    Favorite amp and cab combo for les Paul

    Always love the Friedman BE paired with a V30 cab. I use the Zilla cab pack but there are so many good V30 cabs that come stock. Just flip through until something sounds good in your mix and tag it. A good trick is to keep your amp at stock and flip through cabs until the tone is close to what...

    Thinking of getting FM3 for home use (Recording/jamming/practicing)

    I "downgraded" from a FXIII to the FM3 for home use just because I didn't end up using the power of the III. It was fun having the absolute best of the best but I'm more than happy with the FM3 and haven't had a single hiccup with it recording or jamming.
  41. TheGoatLord

    I've joined the dark side again! FM3 Incoming and a question?

    Will work fine. The outputs are just like the Axe II. Aside from the interface being easier to navigate now both on the unit and in FM3 Edit, all of your Axe II skills and routing will transfer directly to the FM3!
  42. TheGoatLord

    Recommend Studio Monitors

    I have the Adam TV8 and LOVE them. Playing out of a 12" FRFR when jamming and these translate beautifully. I went for the 8s over the 7s just because I wanted to have some more low end in my mixes without needing to add a sub to my bedroom "studio". Can't recommend them enough.

    I'd call support at this point. Hopefully it's something simple that we're all missing.

    Best way to run grid so 1 output is dry guitar?

    Just split off your input 1 with a parallel line that goes through the amp/cab and then splits off again. Route that to a different output.

    FM3 to Logic Pro X

    You can use just the USB from the FM3 to your mac. By sending from the right output, I meant the correct output. Sorry for the confusion there. Just looking at your setup, you have the FM3 set as your output device but I don't see it set as the input device. Also make sure your FM3 is selected...
  46. TheGoatLord

    "bloom"

    Master volume and the actual volume coming out of your speakers, hitting the guitar, will give you that magic. Make sure your MV is dialed in to the amp's sweetspot and let it hit your guitar with some volume. You'll get all that magical organic feedback/harmonics/overtones just like a real amp.
  47. TheGoatLord

    FM3 to Logic Pro X

    Make sure it's set up as your interface and make sure you're sending from the right output. Inputs 1-2 are the FM3 signal and inputs 3-4 are the DI signal. It was pretty much plug and play for me with logic so I'm guessing it's looking for the wrong input.

    Don't feel too bad. I had an issue the other day where I spent an hour going through every cable in my system because my guitar sounded distorted and like it was coming through a blown 1" radio speaker. Turns out my expression pedal was heel down and I didn't notice it haha
