    AFIII Muse - New Born - Bass cover

    I've just accepted that I'll never know as many songs or be able to play them as well as you haha. Great video!

    What Prompted You To Buy A Fractal?

    I had been chasing the perfect chug tone for years and I found a video of Misha Mansoor on the Axe II with an Uberschall preset. It was the sound I had in my head for years so I got one and after 2 IIs, an AX8, FM3, and an Axe III, I haven't looked back.

    Palm Muting Tone Shaping

    Use a TS808, turn the drive to zero or 1, put the volume between 7-10, bump the mids around 1200 and call it a day. That'll get you that 2000s metalcore sound with a little more clarity. This is assuming you're using a 5150 or recto like mentioned above but you can do it with Friedmans or any...

    Ah ya, I get what you're saying now. I think we all fall for that trap at times. I know I certainly do!

    SoundMan POV

    I think people understand this the wrong way. It's not saying that if you want a high gain tone to just track multiple midgain tracks and they'll suddenly become high gain. It's saying that for recording, the more gain you have, the less clarity you'll get once you put down multiple tracks. The...

    SoundMan POV

    As a former touring guitarist, all of these are spot on. Less gain in general just makes you sound better! If you're playing metal, use a boost pedal and turn the gain down... you'll get the same crunch but with a lot more clarity. Mids are the heart and soul of your guitar in the mix. Scooped...

    Just something that I really, really love about the Axe FX 3

    Not to mention that every night you play, the mic placement is going to be different and unless you're in a larger touring group, the person running sound is going to be different. Even if your tube amp sounded 100% the same at every venue (it doesn't), you have other MASSIVE variables that...

    Triple Rectifier - Why no one talks about it?

    Had a triple for years and hated it. I think most people gravitate towards the dual which has less headroom and more bounce to it.

    How long maximum did you stay on the same preset?

    All I need is my 5150 preset and I'm happy 99% of the time to be honest. I bought the AxeFx originally to stop carrying around a huge rig. I was happy then with one amp and a bunch of pedals, not much has changed.

    AFIII Korn - Falling Away From Me

    Interesting. I've owned a few rectos in the past (dual and triple) and could never get them to sound good with the MV that high. They always seemed to just fart out now matter how much I turned the lows down. Either way, you nailed the tone and I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting and...

    AFIII Korn - Falling Away From Me

    Rectos are all about low MV with a cranked drive in front of them. Most of the "recto" sound that we're all familiar with is a boosted dual recto with the MV only turned up to where you get some nice bloom. Give it a little more mids than you would think, pull the bass back, and hit it with a...

    Axe-Fx III: I went with the Mk II over the Mk II Turbo

    I have a Mk1 and I've never even come close to hitting the limit

    What do you do to make the Axe feel fluid and as close to amp+pedals as you can get?

    Do you mean in terms of the feel of the amps or making it feel like a pedalboard setup? In regards to the amp feel, it already feels exactly like my real amps so I don't do anything special there. For controlling everything, when I first started with the AxeFxII, I tried to make it like a...
