My new rack with Axe FxUltra prt 2

Here is a closer look of my pedals in the rack and my pedal board with a M13 and GCX. I haven't made up my mind it I'm going to use the m13 live, but it has a lot of cool sounds, many noise stuff, plus it has a looper. The thing is that is not very flexible as far as routing.The other amps are...

thinking about going the tube power amp cab route

I'm going to also try a tube power amp. I just got the SAL 2 and the top end sounds funny to me. I get a nice big sound, but when you put a mic in front of it, I can tell that something is missing. The sizzle sounds a bit fake. I posted a bunch of times about a B&K power amp I have and it sounds...

First rehearsal with the Axe Fx Ultra

I'm just got the SLA2, in my first rehersal, I used and old B&K ST140. I think the SLA2 is o.k, but not perfect. I prefer my B&K because it has a smoother top end but is a home power amp and I'm afraid to take it out. I like the ART SLA2 because is compact, and the sound to me is 90% and I'll...

Just got my SLA-2 today

Thanks Ventanaman, the reason I got is because is 1 rack space. The sound is o.k, good enough for live performance, but my B&KST140 power amp sounds much better. I noticed the difference right away. The B&K is smother on the high frequency. I had to redo my patches so I can get it close to it. I...

Just got my SLA-2 today

I've been using an old B&K ST 140, an audiophile amp, which from old reviews it's supposed to have a "tube like" smoothness. As soon as I fired up the ART SLA-2, I noticed it was brighter, but it has more headroom and tighter bass, since my B&K is only 105w and the ART SLA-2 is 260w(?) at 4...

Elecro Voice EVM 12 L or JBL 120 E ?

Hello, I just wanted to know if anybody had any experirnce with this speakers with the Axe Fx Ultra. It sounds logical to use these speakers since the have a better frequency responce(70-80Hz to 7khz) and a higher power handling than most guitar speaker. They also don't break up like the...

KRK V8s

I had a pair of KRK's V8 and as far as mixing, they gave me ear fatigue after an hour of mixing , I traded them for Dynaudio BM6A with their S9 subwoofer and I can mix for a long time with out ear fatigue. I thought the KRK's mids sounded nasty compared to the BM6A which sounds smoother. It...

Report after getting the Axe Fx

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I got the Axe Fx Ultra and this unit keeps getting more amazing, the more I use it. I decided to finally sell my Mesa Roadster, I'll probably still keep my Budda Super drive II 45 just as a back up and also because I don't think the Axe Fx can not emulate it since...

My first Axe fx Ultra recording

Thanks soularflair, I wish we could have multiple mic's with the ability to move them. I always found that using multiple mic's you get a fuller sound. When I use my Roadster I use a Ultimate attenuator to get the power tubes to distort, I only drive 2 x 12 in my 4 x12 Mesa cabinet and mic them...

My first Axe fx Ultra recording

Re: Thanks Thanks, I'll try the IR's and see how it works. I still need to work with the Axe FX, I have the original recording with my Budda superdrive 45 and I honestly prefered the Ax FX so I'm moving in the right direction. I have a Vox AC 15 heritage and the Ax Fx nails it 99% minus the...

My new Axe fx Ultra and my gear

Yes, I guess I have gear acquisition syndrome! Always looking for the perfect sound. Everytime I turn on the Axe fx Ultra, I find something new it can do, just amazing. Here are a couple of photos of part of my studio.

Just took a chance and ordered the Axe Ultra

I have to take out my Axe fx Ultra out of my studio at night, just in case my other amps get pissed and try to harm it! I can tell they're jealous! especially my Mesa Roadster! haha! That one was the easiest to duplicate! Using a recto with the powerball or other german amps together sounds...

Thanks guys! I'm tweak freak! I'm one of those nerds that love to read manuals. I already studied it and it all makes sense. I'm now searching for power amps. I like the mosfet amps like the H&H(hard to find) or the Carvin FET450. I currently have a BK ST1400(mostfet) which is an old...
