My own progressive metal song! Friedman HBE and Cabpack 5 in action!

Thank you! I get what you are saying about the 'main' part. What I play in the video I consider to be the 'lead' parts, however, as far as the mix goes I wanted to do what worked best for the mix, and often times I prefer the leads to be a tad bit in the background to let the rythm parts take up...

My own progressive metal song! Friedman HBE and Cabpack 5 in action!

I just released a video playthrough of a self-produced song. I worked really hard on this and would really appreciate if you guys would give it a listen! I really tried to up my production quality on this one, so any discussion around the mixing etc is greatly encouraged as I would love to see...

My band just released a new song - Cab Pack 5 in option!

My band just released our new song which I engineered, edited, mixed and mastered. I'd be happy to receive opinions on the overall production! This tone is the Friedman HBE amp through the "4x12 Broderick 5153 CE 0in 10d" cab. I really dig that combo!

Architects - "Naysayer" full cover!"

I made a full cover of Architects "Naysayer". Axe-Fx 2 used for all guitars and bass, of course. Tell me what you think!

TesseracT Nocturne Cover

Did an instrumental cover of TesseracT's "Nocturne". All guitars and bass is Axe-Fx. Tried to do a very minimalistic approach to the guitars, there are literally like only highpass and lowpass filters and some high shelf in there, rest is just 100% direct from the Axe!. Hope you enjoy! (:

What's the quickest way to audition different cabinets?

Don't know if this is what you're asking, but iof you look up a cab on the wiki, it suggests cabs that might fit well with that particular amp. At least helped me narrow down the cabs I test a bit.

Melodic Progressive Metal(-ish) with Video Playthrough!

So, I decided to record on my old bands songs for fun. Axe-Fx 2 for all guitar and bass processing. For the rythm patch I used the Das Metall amp, BB Pre Drive, 43 4x12 Recto with RE16 blended with 63 4x12 German with U87. Hope you enjoy!

Tone seekers miss forest for trees

I genuinly think there is a lot of "I can't tell any difference, so there most cetrainly are none at all!" Just like people claiming there's no difference between Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Some feel it, some do not. Some CARE, some do not. Just because that, in your perspective, tiny difference isn't...

Tone seekers miss forest for trees

I think what you are trying to say is, music > tone, as in writing good music is better than having the perfect tone. Which is pretty spot on, actually! But if you really (really) can't tell any difference at all between distorted guitar sounds, then you yourself might be the "odd" one out. As...

FRACTAL LEAD/POD FARM RHYTHM

It only took me a couple of days before I felt my Axe-Fx 2 patches exceeded my Podfarm (had an UX2) patches. Would be nice to see how your Axe-Fx patches sound, maybe we can give you a few headers!

Really learning What The Amp Controls Do!

I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes here, just voicing my opinion! I know the Wiki is probably the single best resource we've got right now, but there's always room for improvement. What I would want is some kind of document that goes over each parameter, explaining very straight-forward...

Really learning What The Amp Controls Do!

I thought it would go without saying that I'm very well aware of the Wiki's existence. I thought something OTHER than the wiki, which is both better structured but also updated (Cliff himself stated the Wiki's outdated earlier in the thread.)

Really learning What The Amp Controls Do!

I would actually love some in-depth, updated version of what exactly all the amp parameters does (more elaborate then the manual), preferably from Cliff's side. I think many Axe 2 owner's feel they have no clue about what the different parameters does!

Make-A-Tone Challenge!

(So I apologize if a thread like this has already been created, I searched around a bit but didn't find anything.) Something I like to do when trying to come up with new tones is just picking an amp at random, picking a cab at random and pretend that's the only combination I have at the time...
