    Free Mesa 4X12 Impulse Responses! Give 'em a try :)

    Ah yeah sorry for the necro-bump. I only discovered your IRs about a month ago. They were perfect for the Metallica - Garage Inc tone I was trying to get, and the only ones that had the frequencies between 20-60hz that were similar to the isolated guitar tracks I was analyzing.

    Free Mesa 4X12 Impulse Responses! Give 'em a try :)

    Francesco, these IRs are just amazing. There's something about the low end and the mids that really work through my monitors. Most other IRs sound pretty thin compared to these 2. It's gonna be hard to steer myself away from just defaulting to these. :D

    Master Volume's Affect on Tone

    Sometimes I wish I could tweak my master volume on my presets without affecting the output level so I can easily hear the difference without having to mess with level. It's so easy to be biased one way or another when tweaking if the actual volume decreases and increases.

    Tone Match Problem

    No dice. It barely made a difference. I see other people's tonematches where the frequency curve on the tonematch block drops everything below 12k or so but it seems I can't produce the same results as them.

    I'm thinking if I run white noise in the higher spectrum of frequencies I might be able to fix the issues that are happening with recorded guitar matches. Will report back if it works.

    Tone Match Problem

    Ah so this is why some people were asking for a frequency range option. Makes sense now. I wonder how people have worked around this to get nice tone matches from recorded guitars. What I've started doing is eschew the tone block and instead have been matching the frequency ranges in my daw...

    Tone Match Problem

    Thanks for the reply Glenn appreciate it. After seeing the success that GuitarJon had tonematching metallica tones I was trying my hand at it as well. I thought the Axe had the tone match block for recorded tones and real amp matching in mind.

    Tone Match Problem

    I've been having issues trying to tone match similar to what the OP was talking about. My tone match ends up adding frequencies above 12khz and below 50hz whereas the reference track has nothing above 12khz and not boosted frequencies below 50hz. It's like the tonematch block is stretching the...

    Axe-Edit + DAW + Guitar Tracking = Signal Cuts Out

    Hey guys, I have an odd issue. When I'm tracking guitar in Cubase while Axe-Edit is open in the background I occasionally get some sort of MIDI issue where it's either being passed to or from the Axe (not sure which) but this causes the guitar signal to drop off for a second. It's not always...

    Taming Boomy Low-End On Certain Notes

    Well if it's room resonance I'm not that concerned so long as it can't be heard in my mixes. I'll try listening through headphones to see if it's still booming out. One thing that made me think it wasn't a node thing was that I had done a tonematch based on notes that were played lower on...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the Cut again. When I tried it previously it took out a bit too much of the low end, this time I'll try to add some back in with Depth, or one of the other settings. My room could definitely use some treatment, however I've been dealing with it for years...

    On the topic of Robin Finck and Nine Inch Nails, does anyone know if he ditched his Devi Ever Bit: Legend of Fuzz? I figured the Axe might be able to emulate that with some fuzz/gating and did it to some success on mine but am curious if Finck is still rocking that thing.

    Axiom For Tweaking Patches

    That's a damn good idea. I usually run one amp per side, but I think I'll take your advice and blend in a 2nd amp and tweak it so it only covers the lows. Maybe do a lowpass on that and a highpass on the jmp1. Thanks man! Also thanks to the guys who suggested using different cabs...

    Dual Amp Patches
