    Some new sounds

    Thanks for listening and for the comment. I was going for a melodic / thematic approach to be explored more greatly later in the piece. I am pretty happy with the lead tone so far - it is very close to my recorded amp tone. Steve.

    ULTRA FIRMWARE 11.0 MAY 9 2011

    Re: ULTRA FIRMWARE 10.02 SEPT 3 2010 Hi Gira, Thanks so much that was quite effective. I am getting closer with every great tip I pickup on this forum. Steve.

    Difficult to record with? Some tips please..

    Maybe if you post a link to something you have worked on we would have a better idea of how to respond constructively? Honestly the AXEFX is a great unit and responds closely to a real amp but not the same way. If you find that a real amp hides your mistakes I would be interested in knowing...

    Robben Ford Up Close & Personal

    Hi Chris, agreed, AIMS was a bit of a washout. Not that much quality gear there. NO decent amp manufacturers in my book. FEW decent guitars. Steve.

    That is quite funny but really it does not matter what pickups he is using in the overall equation :)

    Early Yngwie?

    The analog man pedal is really good by the way. I am not a tube screamer fan but the analog man YJM mod is a great frequency boost pedal. Would be great to see it on the AFX.

    ULTRA FIRMWARE 11.0 MAY 9 2011

    Re: ULTRA FIRMWARE 10.02 SEPT 3 2010 Hey Gira, thanks for the info! What blocking frequencies would you recommend as a starting point for a good rich rock/metal tone? Realising this is completely subjective. Steve.

    AxeFX Ultra affects my wireless mouse...

    Haha, well it is true. When I power on the AxeFX it stops my wireless mouse working. If I move the mouse receiver further from the AxeFX or turn off the AxeFX then the mouse starts working again... Anyone else? Steve.

    AxeFX Uber Model

    Only just saw this. I am running 10.01 now and whilst it sounds great for most amps the Uber is still the red headed step child of the lot. Do not get me wrong I LOVE my axefx I just dont love this model. I do own the real amp and have opened it up for a quick look. It is most definitely one...

    Minimalist Recording Setup with Axe FX

    Hey guys, yeah my aim is to be able to record on the move more easily. I am considering a second hand MBox or something like that with SPDIF input to the laptop via USB. VSTs and Cubase. Headphones to monitor. I guess the most expensive components are the AxeFX and my gutiars. Aim...

    Minimalist Recording Setup with Axe FX

    Hi All, I am contemplating purchasing gear for a minimal recording setup that will still produce decent audio capture (of the AxeFX) results. Given the AxeFX has digital output are there any laptops with decent digital input that might be a good match? Or a reasonably priced USB audio...

    ULTRA FIRMWARE 11.0 MAY 9 2011

    Re: ULTRA FIRMWARE 10.02 SEPT 3 2010 Release 10 is awesome. Has something been done to the mic simulations? They are actually usable to my ear now whereas I would bypass them before. The Bogner Uberschall patch is still not right though - way too compressed and lacking in dynamics. I...

    REDWIREZ - should I?

    Further I note the REWIRE product only has Soldano with Eminence speaker IR. I have an old snakeskin Soldano cabinet here loaded with V30s which I prefer. I would love to make an IR of this cabinet if it is possible. Is there a HOW TO anywhere for this? I have used google and understand...

    REDWIREZ - should I?

    Okay so I am running Axe Fx Ultra with 10.02. I have to say that release 10.02 sounds a lot better than any other previous release. I was considering buying the RedWirez $121 pack. What is it going to do for me? Are they much better than the stock Fractal speaker cab sims? How does it work...

    AXEFX and Steinberger (pickups question)

    Hi All, thanks for the pointers above I will consider all options at this point. Honestly I loved the EMGs and the Mesa but with the Bogner (real amps not AFX) it is just not good. If anyone wants to hear this guitar check out the below link. All songs except 360 are recorded on the...

    AXEFX and Steinberger (pickups question)

    I have a STEINBERGER GM PRO with EMG pickups loaded. The EMGs used to sound awesome through my Mesa Boogie but sound atrocious through my Bogner Ubershall. The Bogner is a far more dynamic amp that really responds to passive pickups beautifully (unfortunately the same can NOT be said for the...

    Early Yngwie?

    Agreed. The DD250 is a much nicer pedal than the TS808 in my opinion. Never been a real fan of them. Ive tried to pull an Yngwie tone and come close but the problem is that Yngwie's tone is probably one of the most valve saturated guitar tones on the planet and it is very hard to emulate...

    AxeFX Uber Model

    Hi, nice try but the its way too loose - there are sounds coming out around the chords that shouldnt be. The uber has maximum tight tone when you mute it right and the mid range is a lot sweeter. Note - I am not having a go at YOUR effort but rather at the model itself. I will give it a...

    axe fx hardware > what kind of preamp!?

    I am sick of Foonborkle noobs saying this. ANYONE who has A/Bed them knows that the new series - the first run of 99 units - where the paint finish was a little more mustard in colour than the subsequent standard orange have the warmest output and best signal capture. I heard that because of...

    Tightening up the LOW B string

    So anyway the title says it all. I use 10-60 guage on Ibanez Prestige and JCustom guitars. What kind of tweaks do you guys use to tighten up the LOW B on a seven string gutiar? Is anyone using an 8 String? Would a PareEQ help? What kind of frequencies? High gain models. Steve.

    Standard and Ultra Firmware Version 9.00 Released

    I have to say that after upgrading I have noticed DEFINITE improvements in the Soldano and Bogner models. They were basically *unusable* with the old software but right now sound VERY usable. God I am so glad I bought this box! Steve.

    Bogner users, help me out

    I found V9 Uber to be a lot better than previously. It still is not 100% but it is a damn sight better than it was before! I think what it lacks is the low end impact / punch that the real amp puts out... That could be mix and dialing of course. I am willing to persevere based on the V9...

    SLO and Brown Model Clips - V9

    The SLO sound is a good basis. The Brown one is pushing to hard somewhere and gaining in an unpleasant way at least to my ear. Not sure what to DO about it but thats how it sounds so far. Keen to hear what you do next based on the SLO patch though :) Steve.

    Standard and Ultra Firmware Version 9.00 Released

    Feel free to throw things at me. I rebooted and finally noticed that the axe editor includes an update firmware option... And right now it seems to be working. I can not wait to hear the new sounds - maybe my bitching about the Bogner models will be somewhat outdated? Steve.

    AxeFX Uber Model

    Okay so its not just me. I will post some clips of my Uber recorded some time. It is a devastating amp make no mistake however for fluid lead playing it is exceptionally awesome as well. To me it is the perfect ROCK amp - more so than a metal amp - as it still has quite a lot of mid range...

    Matchless (Boutique 2) - pushed a bit

    Good stuff mate :) Nice mix. Sounds quite natural. If I was to suggest anything maybe consider where you apply vibrato on some of the sustained notes - it can make them speak really nicely in the kind of piece you have recorded. How did you pull the bass sound? Steve.

    A tweak guide I did for the CAE 3+ lead sim

    Thanks mate. I put a quick summary of my basic settings in the other thread because I dont wanna highjack this one. I love the CA3 as well. To me it sounds more like my Bogner than the Uber model does. For lead tone at least - not so much riffing. But I love the riff tone as well on the...

    Recording Signal - WET and DRY signal capture for recording

    Recording Signal - WET and DRY signal capture for recording

    AxeFX Uber Model

    Yeah I have read the Uber manual. I have it right here and the actual amp a few metres away. I know exactly how it sounds and how the presence operates on the AMP. The model on the AFX is simply not in the same universe tonally. The presence on the modeller certainly doesn't perform the...

    Thanks very much! I am still new to AFX and whilst I see it has a lot of potential am still not sold on it for a recording replacement for amplifier - YET. Hopefully with some decent forum reading I can get closer. I understand the AFX is a very deep unit requiring time etc. Steve.
