    Where the Axe FX II can't compete with real amps....

    I think you may have mis-understood my post. Playing with the axe fx 2 triaxis amp block, cab sims turned off, power amp sims turned off, into a real tube power amp, and a real mesa cab does NOT sound like playing my real triaxis, real tube power amp, and real mesa cab.

    Where the Axe FX II can't compete with real amps....

    I reached a similar conclusion to you, but I still love and use the axe fx 2 all the time. I use a real mesa triaxis preamp, mesa power amp, and mesa cab with the axe fx 2 for effects only. I still do record the axe 2 direct into my computer because it sounds amazing and is so convenient. For...

    Why is demand for FAS products still outstripping supply?

    I work in the automotive manufacturing industry. There is a principle called "just in time" which means that you only manufacture what you need in a given period of time. Any additional inventory or "safety stock" is just a waste of space in your warehouse, extra risk if some defect was found...

    Looking for a little help/guidance with my Ibanez guitar

    Get an Ibanez RGA121. My bandmate has 4 of them and says they're his favorite guitar. I've played it and agree it's pretty awesome. It's a hardtail, and you get to have another wizard neck. By the way, the neck on yours I believe is the wizard prestige. There are many different versions of...

    Polyphia

    The thing you're missing here is that they incorporate hip hop style beats into their new music. So they are appealing to all of the rap, pop, and EDM fans. Check out their newest album to hear what I'm talking about. It's actually pretty good.

    Too Much Gear?

    I tweaked for about a year after I bought my Axe FX 2 mark 2, then figured out I just like the way it sounds now so I'll just leave it. I basically just got bored of tone tweaking. Now I just play, and I may add in a new effect every once in a while while recording. But that only takes a few...

    Damn.... anybody else do this?

    I have a friend who owns an Ax8 that was having trouble making nice sounding tones for recording. He was dialing them in at low volumes and had way too much gain and treble which just made all of his recordings a fizzy mess. He asked me to help make some new sounds. I spent about 30 minutes to...

    Modern Metal makes me laugh...

    I disagree. I think there's great metal of all different types still coming out today. Just pick your flavor. I think this is pretty great.

    Does anyone else not gel at all with acoustic guitars?

    I don't know. Some of the other members talked about doing an acoustic show someday and I was just sticking it out giving it a try before just saying no. It really does help with finger strength though after going from acoustic back to electric. It makes it feel easy.

    Does anyone else not gel at all with acoustic guitars?

    I hate playing acoustic. Recently our drummer has been flaking out and not showing up for practice a few times, and the rest of the band wants to play acoustic so we can get some kind of practice in. It takes some powerful rocking songs and turns them into coffee house BS. I just cannot get...

    Stage Setup Help: Can’t Hear My Guitar at Rehearsal

    Does this mean you're the only guitarist, and you happen to play direct through monitors? Or does it mean there are other guitarists in your band and you're the only one who plays direct through monitors? I'm in a band and the other guitar player uses a marshall head with a 4x12. When we...

    Suhr vs PRS vs ??

    Hey I'm also a former MIJ ibanez player. I absolutely loved my JS1000 and the lo pro edge trem. I didn't think any other guitar could ever replace it as my #1 main guitar. Then I started watching what Kiesel was doing. I figured out they're pretty much the best bang for the buck custom guitar...

    Anyone seeing Buckethead on this year's tour?

    I'll definitely go if he comes to St. Louis. He's one of my favorite artists of all time.

    Stuck in a playing rut. Best practice tips please

    I found this guy on youtube named Pebber Brown. He taught Buckethead and some others. You can really tell from just the first lesson that he's a lot different than most teachers out there. He's almost more of a drill instructor than a guitar teacher. The beginning lesson is deceptively easy...
