So, I posted on my poor results at a local blues jam and received great responses (and quick too!) from a lot of members here- now my next question- and it doesn't really have to be any single unit- but can include the AX8, FX8 or Axe FX II- but who are some artists using Fractal products that are getting really, really good tone in your opinion. I'm looking for some new talent to follow! My list would include:
Rick Graham- Axe FX II- amazing player- really good consistent tone clean and dirty
Larry Mitchell- I think both- Axe FX II and AX8- of course- he's sort of a main Fractal artist and even highlighted here on the main home page- but we all know he's amazing with amazing tone! The video just posted on the main page here with him comparing real amps vs Fractal is astounding. You really, really, really can't hear the difference. GREAT marketing piece Fractal team- do more of these! Shuts down the haters in an instant!
Tyler Grund- Tyler is really interesting to me because he's "Game Dojo" and did the original work on my '66 Fender Super Reverb and had always been a "Real Tube Amp" guy- with really amazing insight into amp circuits- especially SRV's amps- and he took that insight - applied it to the AxeFX II just like it was a real amp- and obtained arguable (not in my opinion) the best clean tone and closest thing to SRV's and Hendrix's tone so far-
NeoGeofanatic - guy in France that was using the AxeFXII and just getting amazing sounds- he switched to a real amp for a while and his tone suffered!!!! I like his posts with the AxeFX II MUCH better the the real things- which is awesome. He's an absolutely terrific player- and if you have a Strat that goes out of tune- he can show you how to fix that so they NEVER go out! Really.... check him out.
Those are the ones I came up with off the top of my head. Actually Rick Graham is the one that really made me start looking at Fractal seriously. I was going to make another post on this, but I find it really cool that I own 3 Friedman amps (Small Box 50- PT20 and Runt 50) and they're all just amazing tone machines- but I find I like the Friedman BE setting in the AX8 better then all of them! I may take that to another post though- what amp do you like better through your Fractal then in real life! I bet there are a lot.
