Bulb Zilla IR for Friedman HBE?

I run the cabs in stereo. When I'm single tracking or playing alone, I pan them hard left and right. When I'm dual tracking or playing with another guitarist, I pan both to my side of the track for more of a blended effect.

Bulb Zilla IR for Friedman HBE?

I can't attest to how close it would be to P3, but I've gotten the best tones out of the Zilla IRs by dialing in an amp with the "ML Zilla Flattest IR", then blending it with a second IR for flavor. Want something more scooped? Blend it with the K100. Want something more mid-rangey? Blend it...

Dual Amp - High Gain Tones

I use two separate amp and cab blocks in independent signal chains, that go to the output separately and don't merge them back together. Once I have the tones dialed in and the volume balanced out, I go into the cab blocks and pan them hard left and hard right.

FW 7.02 Herbie CH3, no pedal, no filters, no eq. wtf, how

I agree completely on the recent upgrade to the Herbie patches. A friend of mine owns a hand-built, pre-production prototype Herbert that's built and signed by Peter Diezel himself. It's one of the most ridiculously badass sounding amps that I've ever heard. And one of the only amps that I've...

Couple of observations about the Friedmans in 7.02

If you like the HBE, I'd recommend toying around with the Engl Savage model. I owned a Savage for years, one of my all-time favorite amps, but never jived with the Axe version. Then Quantum 7 came around, and now it sounds exactly like the real thing. I used the HBE previously, but replaced...

Angle Severe Settings to Replicate "Smooth" Mode

Unfortunately, I don't physically own the amp anymore. Otherwise, I would. There are plenty of YouTube reviews and such of the amp, though, that though the feature switching on and off. I'll dig up a few and post after work.

Angle Severe Settings to Replicate "Smooth" Mode

I'm hoping that it's just a parameter tweak. I started a thread like this about the "Mid Cut" function on the Diezel Herbert, another favorite amp of mine in the real world, and eventually Cliff chimed in with general settings for a Peak EQ filter to put between the amp and cab blocks that...

Angle Severe Settings to Replicate "Smooth" Mode

Hey Everyone, I owned a Savage 120 for many years and it was, bar none, the greatest high gainer that I've played. I had never really gelled with the Axe version of it until this last patch. Now, it is easily my favorite amp in the box, and sounds exactly like the real thing. The only issue...

It's an Aristides 060. They're a custom guitar company from the Netherlands that makes these amazing non-wood guitars. I just got my custom model last month after a long awaited 6-month build time. It is, far and away, the best playing and sounding instrument that I've ever put my hands on...

WISH: less emphasis on V30s

I agree completely. Too many of the IRs are based around closed back birch cabinets loaded with V30s. But, I get the impression that making IRs is really laborious, so people often make IRs for the biggest audience, which is by far the V30 4x12.

Underrated Amp Models

I think all of the amps that I really love in the Axe are "underrated" models. Splawn Quickrod - It's the least Marshall sounding Marshall clone that I've ever heard, but I love it. I run it in 2nd gear with a clean TS808 in front. You need to really crank the treble and presence to...
