Mojotone 7-string pickup demo - FW15.02 + UltraRes 4x12 Cab Pack 5!

More Axe-FX II + Mesa Mark IV Metal Fury! Predecessor - Skin Deep

Thanks dude! I'm a product of 80's and 90's metal (Slayer, Pantera, REAL Metallica, etc.) so I'm all about some groove and classic riffing. I don't have anything against djent specifically, but there's certainly a lot of copycat generic drop-tuned crap floating around these days. I can't say...

More Axe-FX II + Mesa Mark IV Metal Fury! Predecessor - Skin Deep

The bass was actually recorded with an Ampeg SVT3. The bass tone is 100% the work of Jamie King at the Basement Studios and I think he ended up doing a blend of the SVT-3 and an amp sim plugin. Dude can dial in some gnarly bass! The Basement Recording NC

Axe-FX II + Mesa Mark IV power = Seismic tones

I'm running the 6L6/EL34 combo (JJs). I've found that it tames the bottom end a bit. And I've tried various Dimarzios, EMGs, and a Bare Knuckle in this particular guitar, but nothing can touch the Duncan Distortion. It's attack and ferocity are unsurpassed in my travels.

Axe-FX II + Mesa Mark IV power = Seismic tones

The final product you're hearing ending up being the FAS 6160 v12 amp. I'd share, but the preset was specifically dialed in for using a Mark IV as a poweramp, and was tweaked quite a bit to suit the mic placement. The solos are the USA Pre Green direct through a custom blend of Ownhammer IRs...

v13 Firmware UltraRes 1hr Metal Challenge!

I'd read a lot of good things about the new UltraRes IRs and wanted to see if I could dial in a patch from absolute scratch + track/film, mix, and bounce a 1 min video within an hour. I gotta say it was not difficult at all to dial in some very satisfying tones. I only tried the select UltraRes...

Predecessor Album Teaser Video - Axe-FX II Crushing Metal Tones!

Haha....our drummer and singer are two different people (see below)! We had to cut the footage of our singer in after the fact because he was sick when we shot the video. I can understand the confusion though....they are both giant bearded ogres.

Predecessor Album Teaser Video - Axe-FX II Crushing Metal Tones!

The album is about 70/30 screaming and singing, these excerpts just so happened to be primarily the aggressive stuff. Definitely not screamo, just old fashion american metal. The most common comparison we get on the vocals is Phil Anselmo (good Phil...not heroine Phil). I come out of the...
