    Anyone have experience with K and K pick ups with the AxeFX?

    ^+1 I have a bunch of nice acoustics but could never quite get what I wanted out of them playing live. After hearing Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Robinson, and countless other Maton players get great tones live, I eventually gave in and got a Maton when they upgraded the system to the AP5 Pro a few...

    Anyone have experience with K and K pick ups with the AxeFX?

    One of my Martin OM's has the K&K Trinity pickup system installed in it. The Axe FX does a great job with acoustic guitar pickups in general because with all the processing options onboard (EQ's, compressors, custom IR's) you can usually make any pickup sound pretty good. That being said, the...

    Shout out to Yek

    Chord Melody: Suggest amp/cab

    For chord-melody solo jazz playing, I actually prefer to just use the tube preamp amp model with a bit of reverb, and no cab. A lot of the great solo jazz players I have seen typically are just running an archtop into a real clean amp like an AER or Acoustic Image. If you want to try a regular...

    Fryette LXII anyone?

    At NAMM, it was announced that Egnater is re-launching their modular amp line and will call it Synergy. Part of the line, in addition to new modules from both Egnater and other amp builders, will be a 1U tube power amp designed by Fryette but built/sold under the Synergy label. I would guess...

    Integrating JTV69 with AxeFX II

    I have a JTV59 I've been using with my Axe II for a couple years now. The Variax works great especially for what you describe: songs that require switching between acoustic guitar and electric guitar in the same song. I've used it when performing tunes like "Hotel California" (switch between...

    Acoustic guitar into AXE--what do you guys use for a preset/amp?

    It is going to depend a bit on the raw tone of the pickup on your guitar. You might be able to get by with just a parametric EQ, some reverb and maybe a little light compression. I'd try that first. In addition, you can try mixing in a cab block with an acoustic IR. Also definitely try using an...

    Tube power amp or not?

    I still like running the Axe through a tube power amp in certain situations. I have a Randall RT2/50 which I think sounds great with the Axe. When coupled with a good cab, to me it just feels and responds more like a traditional amp rig, but with all the benefits of the Axe (great FX...
