Brad Paisley is on fire in this clip, and he ain't even tryin'! Crazy good playing! This YT-clip is becoming legendary amongst fans of great playing in general and certainly of those fond of "country-shred!" (...A la Jerry Reed, Albert Lee, Danny Gatton, Brent Mason, Johnny Hiland, etc.)
Great tone AND playing!

Wow, I just discovered this thread (and by that I mean I now have an AxeFxII and decided to check it out). Did i say wow? I meant WOW! Fantastic work. Thank You X3. One question (so far) Is the patch "SRV's Vibroverb supposed to be using two DoubleVerbs? I want to make sure my system isn't glitching or something? I noticed your comments about the BF so I'm guessing that you felt the DoubleVerbs came closer than the built in Virbroverb or....?
There are TWO famous Vibroverbs that Fender made. I'm not sure which the Fractal model is supposed
to be. There is the Brownface '63 Vibroverb and the '64 Blackface Vibroverb (which Stevie used).
The Brown was fat, middy, and grindy. The Blackface was bass-y, punchy, and snappy.
Fender reissued the Vibroverb from 1990-1995, but it was the '63 Brownface, not the Black. Anyway,
I think the Fractal model is supposed to be the Brownface. Sounds and feels like it to me. I made my
SRV patch with the BF model using 1x15 speaker IR's. That cops the big, hard, snappy SRV vibe better
than the warm, squishy Brownface sound, to my ears.
Can't wait for a good Neal Schon file, old school '70s from the early Journey records till now.
Thanks so much for the appreciation.
Requests for patches need to be very specific. Such as, "what about the elephant sound on
King Crimson's Discipline?". Asking to sound like a band's particular recording doesn't nail down
what sound you mean. In the BMO vid, for example, there are about 10 stringed instruments
on stage at once.
Some requests, by their nature are tough on the Axe II. Josh Homme, for example, uses vintage
Ampeg VT-22 and V-4 amps. Very fat, middy, and squawky (the Stones made them famous on their
Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street albums). We have no Ampeg models in the Axe II.
I don't know of any other amp that cops their unique warm, clean, yet grumbly and honky sound.
Maybe Cliff will model a V-4 one day!
Great Schon preset - thanks. Any tips on a "Stone In Love" sound? I tried the preset of that name on the Ultra, but didn't find it to be that close...
You are right. If you listen to the studio version of "Stone in Love":

The stock patch isn't even close. The recording is much more trebley and spare. He's using
fairly clean amp settings, two amps panned stereo L & R. He was using the Boss DS-1 OD at
that time, and I can hear on the recording he's using his prized '63 Strat which he never toured with, and he's got his 'cocked wah' thing going on, as well. Most of the distortion is coming from the Boss pedals.
So I redid the stock patch with a pair of stereo Marshalls, hard L & R, with a cocked wah on one side.
This is way closer to the recorded tone. (I used a Les Paul Deluxe w/minihums, bridge on '9'. Use Strat if u got).
You're thinking of high-gain amps with master volume controls. On other amps, and those without MV knobs, you'll usually want to crank your Axe-FX Master Volume prameter to push the power amp sim.It is myunderstanding that most people are saying with v3 the master should be set around 2-3?
Smilefan,
Just curious but when I load your patches in axedit I am noticing that your "Master Vol" levels in a majority of patches are mostly in or around the 9-10 range. Is this on purpose or is it a bug in the Axedit when loading your patches? It is myunderstanding that most people are saying with v3 the master should be set around 2-3?
