Great demo and video.
It's a very cool video, but I have a concern:
For an amp-only review, the amp eq's all sound WILDLY different. So different, in fact, that I can't even recognize some of the amp tones as being like that particular amp. For example, the Engl Powerball, it sounded nothing like what I have in my axefx, and didn't sound anything like my real Powerball head. Your version sounded really bad to me. Then, the JCM800, an amp I'm not a fan of in a modern metal context, sounded great. Nothing like the JCM800's I've heard before.
All of this was rather confusing for me. Were all the amp eq's set at noon? They sure didn't sound like it to me. I hate to sound like a jerk, but the tones here didn't seem like a fair comparison or representation.
This was great. Choosing different cabs/mics for each amp and making that combination sound good to you was the right way go.
On most of the patches you used two cabs, did you pan both to center to create a mono blend? And while tracking/mixing, did you use the same patch and same post processing for left and right, hard panned 100% left / 100% right?
You already explained how you approach choosing the right cab(s) for given patch. What about the drive model?
Can we expect to see those patches in Axe Change soon?
All this talk about guitar (amp) sounds, but did you use bass there? Is it just the guitars and drums because I can't hear the bass. Or was it mixed so low?
EX SELL LENT!!!!!!
Well like I said before I've never played on any of the amps in person so I don't know how they sound like. I don't know about going into video editing, I feel I've only scratched the surface, still so much to learn!Really nice video. I think the video editing was really good. Amazing work for your first video. You're obviously an over achiever.
Honestly, many of the amps, I was slightly shocked with how you had them sounding. The recto didn't have the crushing low end like it's known for. All in all, I don't know if this is the best representation of the amps in the Axe FX II, but I understand your aim. Dialing these amps is highly suggestive and what I like, you may hate. Kudos to you for all your hard work! You should really think about going into video editing.
Thanks dude, glad you're enjoying it!Just watched it again. Amazing production.
SV Bass!Already over 7,000 views, man, great job. I am new to Axe, and know nothing about video, but, WOW. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!
Which bass amp did you use?

Flexibility. I can tweak the room tab differently for each cab this way. Plus it's visually more correct to have 2 cabs on screen if I'm using 2 cabs.nice video dude, but I have a question;
in the first clip where you demonstrate the 5150 II on the axe edit, why do you not just take 1 cab block and set it to stereo with both of those cabs you showcased with their respective mics?
I like them but I wouldn't call myself a fan. It's funny because I actually listen to a lot of death metal.This is great!!!
Are you a fan of Morbid Angel by any chance?
Wow, just wow! My poor wife had to endure me repeatedly playing this video, rewinding, freeze framing, etc. Killer job on the audio and video production, great Axe-Fx and drum programming, everything! And it is really nice of you to offer so much detailed feedback to everyone. I've been learning to use Cubase 5. It's a really great program, albeit a bit intimidating at first. I love the drum sounds. Are you using Superior Drummer 2.0 by chance? Also, did you use the drum editor in Cubase?
Again, thanks loads for doing this! You are mega talented!
