    Album-perfect NIRVANA Tones (w/preset)

    Wow, that IS perfect! Did not know I have the same cab as Kurt. Here's an Ultra-Res impulse of an late 80's 1960B cab with G12T75 speakers (both 8 ohm and 16 ohm versions) :)

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I was just struggling yesterday with a Marshall sound where I could not get the high end sizzle just right. Tried different amp settings, changed drive pedal settings, shoot new IR's with multiple mics, but none of that seemed to work. Too bad I did not check for new FW yesterday because I...

    New DynaCab™ Pack - York Audio 4x12 Recto

    That’s an interesting and impressive mic collection. Not that much into Mesa cabinets, but the mic selection alone really grabbed my attention.

    My JCM800 Just Blew Up

    This or it could be just a regular check to see if the model is WAI.

    My JCM800 Just Blew Up

    From manual: ”If you don’t like the sound of amp model components breaking, you can adjust the loudness and transient with Amp Component Break Level and Oh Snap -parameters. You can also turn down the level if you don’t want to hear the components break. In case you don’t like the default smell...

    Why do some IR's and DynaCab's seem to compress more than others?

    That’s a good tip. Easy to listen with headphones without preamp vs with added preamp distortion if your preamp has a headphone output. I thought the Mic+Pre IR shoot method would neutralize that, but realized that’s not the case. Shooting your own IR’s is a lot of fun if you have a great...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.05 Release

    I played with this new firmware for almost 10 hours non stop at the rehearsal space last weekend. Was supposed to leave after two hours but just couldn’t put my guitar down. I’m now approaching exactly how I’ve been wanting to sound for over 10 years already. Massive thank you for all the hard...

    Forgot he was in a restaurant gig

    That's great, but could you play more of that Hotel California? ;)

    I find the Plexi models all quite dark. Explanation inside. Any help?

    Try this '87 G12T75 4x12 Silver Jubilee (8 ohm) SM57 IR I just made yesterday. Change the amp to 2203 JCM800. If it's still dark, there might be something going on in your setup. It's matched to a real recording which is really bright, so don't be surprised if it sounds ice picky to you. I mix...

    Marshall 1959 SLP - Plexi preset build

    That sounds great! I especially liked the filter + Bender fuzz tone. Nothing beats a dynamic Marshall sound IMHO. I always use delay before amp. If it gets too messy, try lowering the mix. You can go as low as 5 %. I’ve just found out the cabinet also plays a big role when using delay before...

    Ed, Stevie, Jimi & Howard... Demo, preset, free download, etc

    You should call that preset Kings of tone. Good god that reverb sounds so good!

    Did we forget to celebrate the 6-year anniversary of the Axe-Fx III in January?

    I remember I was on a holiday in Indonesia when the III announce came out of the blue. I panicked and rushed to get myself in the waiting list.

    2203 was worth the wait

    I’ve suddenly lost interest in all the other amps after the 2203 was released. Feels like home to me.
