    IRs Introducing the OwnHammer (r)Evolution Impulse Response Series!

    By JS-3 I have a 412 Recto cab pack from you that has a mix called JS-3 I would assume it is the JS mix. What I would like to know is what IR would be similar in voicing in the new naming format. I have been digging the 599B, and HARD1 mixes so far, but there is something about that JS mix...

    IRs Introducing the OwnHammer (r)Evolution Impulse Response Series!

    I just have to add that GNR 412 is absolutely amazing!! I’m using it with a HBE amp, and I’ve tried it on a couple different amps, and it seems like it’s one cab worth of IRs that if you could only have one pack this would be it. A good cab like this can do pretty much any style

    IRs Introducing the OwnHammer (r)Evolution Impulse Response Series!

    I just picked up the new cab pack, I used to really like the JS-3 IRs in the old packs, are you able to tell me which files might be close in the new packs?

    Speakers for FM3, and basement stereo

    I was going to get a headrush FRFR 108, they go for $300 new here, but I just found the xitone powered cab for $550, so I’m picking that up. I’ll do something else for a stereo

    Speakers for FM3, and basement stereo

    LOL I guess I left myself open for that. What I meant was I would like to keep it in the headrush type price range, but if I find something better for my application I can up my budget since it will double as a basement stereo, PA if needed, and FRFR for my FM3.

    Speakers for FM3, and basement stereo

    It’s hard to set a budget. I’m in Canada, so everything costs about 1.5x the US price. I might have found a deal on an xitone active cab.

    Speakers for FM3, and basement stereo

    Presonus gear seems to get a good bit of love around here. I will have to check some of them out. I was even looking at a pair of either the Alto ts310, or headrush frfr 108. They are pretty reasonably priced. I would think that if I went with monitors I would need something with 8” woofers, or...

    Speakers for FM3, and basement stereo

    I finally got my order invite for the FM3. I am planning on developing my basement into a man cave, and my plan is to put in either 2 or 4 speakers and a mixing board so I can listen to music, and/or run my FM3 through them. I have no idea if stereo speakers would work, or studio monitors, or...

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    The gate setting I used for everything in the high gain pack are Intelligent, Threshold -70 Ratio 2.0 Attack 1.00 Release 20.0 Level 0.0 I find the amps sound better to me this way, but I might need to increase the threshold with some of the higher gain ones when cranked up loud. I just...

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    There is something special about a high gain amp based off a plexi. I always miss my makoplex for that exact reason. Plus they usually react pretty well to the volume control, and boosts. I’ll check out the herbie again, but I found the qrod had a bit more cut, and more of an immediate feel...

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    A lot of the high gain presets have a very aggressive noise gate that I personally didn’t like at all. If you go to the gate settings there are some presets that are in the pack. I’ll check which ones I used, and post it later. It is pretty much the standard AB gate. I used axedit to bulk...

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    I am a bit of a high gain player. I just finished going through all of the high gain amps. First I changed all of the noise gates to one of the regular ones, no djent for me. I have to say "371 DiezelHrbe: Rhythm.SS" is killer!!! "377 QRod Plexi: Lowr /y" covers a lot of ground. Especially...

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    I bought it yesterday. I just have to go through the hard rock, and metal presets to get rid of the djent noise gate. I can't stand too aggressive of a gate. At least there are other gate presets from the pack I can use. So far so good overall though!!!!

    Legacy Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy DREAMRIGS 1000+TonePack for AX8 and Axe-FX Mark II/XL/XL+

    I am about to buy this for my AX8 later this week. For the metal, and hard rock presets are the clean tones more geared to go with the downtuned and heavy sounds? Not that it really matters because I’ll just use what works for me, but it might save some time narrowing down which cleans to use.

    Palm Mute Chunky Resonance Frequencies 9-11th Fret

    I have found the same thing with a lot of amps, and IRs. If you drop the resonance frequency in the speaker page of the amp block you can move the resonance to a lower frequency, or you can reduce the effect of the resonance. I haven't found a better solution for it, but it annoys me too!! I...

    Last power conditioner question, I swear! (this year)

    Where I live I have very stable power. If I played out, or had not so great power I would look for a power conditioner with AVR (automatic voltage regulation). They keep the voltage nice, and consistent. Just make sure you get one big enough. I spec them out for work all the time, and most...

    Anyone using Austin Buddy presets live?

    I am fairly new to the AX8, and thinking about getting either the Naked amps, or waiting for this one. Are you able to give a quick bit about what the main difference is between the two packs for someone like me looking at getting one, or the other?

    cost effective speakers

    You can get some fluid FX8s for under $500, and those are killer for the price. I got mine from Thommen in Europe because even with shipping, and duty they were cheaper than any Canadian store. The US prices on them are pretty good.

    Looking for authentic raw IRs without altered EQ-ing

    I have been playing around with some presets that have that bloated hump, but I have found it peaks about 4th fret on the A string. Which is about 140 Hz. I did a bunch of reading yesterday, and I think the problem might be in the speaker settings of the amp block. One I was messing with had...

    Fluid FX8 coaxial monitors are awesome!!

    What really got me looking closely at the Fluids, and pulling the trigger was a few threads like this on gearslutz https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/1169919-fluid-audio-fx8-vs-equator-d5s-vs-dynaudio-lyd48s-vs-gethain-rl906s.html They get compared to a lot of monitors...

    Fluid FX8 coaxial monitors are awesome!!

    I haven't compared them to many other monitors, just the JBL 305 MKII which were decent if it wasn't for the vibrating plate amp. I did have some Behringer 8" monitors with ribbon tweeters my first go around with an Axe Fx standard, but that was a number of years ago, so I can't remember too...

    Fluid FX8 coaxial monitors are awesome!!

    I got a pair about two weeks ago, they are very impressive for the price!!! I live in Canada, and ended up ordering them from Thomman in Germany, they were about $100 cheaper even with shipping, and duty. It was $550 CAD plus $10 processing plus tax, and it came with the stands!! Before I...

    Guitar Pickups Question

    There are basically two "spacings" for pickups, standard, and F spaced for Floyd rose bridge spacing. I personally don't think it makes enough of a difference tonally for them to make additional spacings. If the look bugs you I would look at EMG, Fighman Fluence, Lace, or other bar magnet...

    Fluid FX8 vs PA speaker VS Adam T5V

    I have been having terrible luck with monitors for my AX8, the music stores in driving distance have almost nothing in stock. It is just a tiny place. I ended up ordering some JBL 305P MKII speakers after reading a lot of reviews etc. On some chords the plate amp resonates a lot, and makes...

    Anyone have an IR of Jensen Electric Lightning?

    The Electric Lightning is my all time favourite speaker, I'm hoping to find a good IR of it. Its a pretty popular speaker in Europe so I hope ML soundlab can get ahold of some, or anyone else.

    AX8 rendered unusable at outdoor gigs with electrical noise. HELP!

    When you switched to the backup did you use the same cables? Did you try the ground lift? Do you have an outlet tester to confirm the wiring is right where you are plugging in? I haven't giged much, but I am an electronics engineer. It is always a good idea to have a list of the quick...

    Small basic monitors, do they sound okay?

    I decided to go with a single JBL 305P MkII. I’ll buy a second once I sell some other gear. They seem to be regarded as one of the best bang for the buck monitors. And since it is a new model it will be easy to add a second in the future.

    Small basic monitors, do they sound okay?

    Thanks for all the replies. I think I’m going to try to find a place where I can order a couple sets of monitors, and return what doesn’t work since I can’t demo anything interesting near by. I might get the presonus ones just because they have a headphone jack so they will kill two birds.

    Small basic monitors, do they sound okay?

    For now I'm just running my AX8 through headphones until I can decide on some speakers. Since the AX8 doesn't have a headphone jack I have been eyeing some of the smaller studio monitors that also have a headphone jack purely for convenience. The only music store within a 2 hr drive of me only...

    First cab pack to buy for Hard rock, and Metal

    I picked up the cab pack, and the Zilla IRs are amazing!!! I like how there are some labeled as scooped, full etc. Makes it really easy to find a place to start. Some of the ENGL IRs are really good too!!! It will take me a while to finish going through them all, and I'll wait until I have...

    Sell me on Cab Packs

    I just got my first modern cab packs. I have some redwirez from a number of years ago that are okay, but there are so many to go through to find the good ones. I got the ML Misha cab pack, and so far all of my favourites are from the Zilla pack. There are so many good IRs in there, and the...

    I Just.....

    Awesome, Congrats!!! I just got mine a week ago. What I found was the best way to start was to ignore the factory presets. I went through them all, and they were very bland to me. I connected to my computer, got axe edit going, created a basic preset with just a 5153 since I used to have...

    First cab pack to buy for Hard rock, and Metal

    That tone is pretty good, but a bit on the dark side, actually pretty close to some of the In Flames stuff which I like to play when I tune down. Here is what I mean by more of a crisp top end, I know that the bright 5150 helps as well.

    Alto TS312...anyone try it?

    I'm in Canada too, and $400 seems to be the going rate which isn't too bad since they sell for $300 in the US which is $395.95 Canadian according to google. Main difference is there are pretty much no sales, or discount codes for us.

    First cab pack to buy for Hard rock, and Metal

    Awesome, a response from the man himself. I have a bit of a range that I enjoy. Right now I am playing some old school Metallica, and the best cab I have found for that sound is one of the stock cabs I think 39, it is a 1960 with a T75 from Redwirez, it has that aggressive top end. Most of...

    Alto TS312...anyone try it?

    I have been looking at the alto TS speakers, and thinking about the TS308 since I just play at home, and don't need to get too loud. I'm just worried about the low end with only an 8" speaker. If I was looking for a 12" I would go for the Headrush FRFR, it is a version of the Alto TS312 but...

    First cab pack to buy for Hard rock, and Metal

    DIY FRFR similar to xitone

    Cable emulator

    Personally I wouldn’t worry about the cable simulator. Different cables sound different, and different length cables have more, or less of the effect. When you buy guitar cable in bulk you can see how many picofarads of capacitance for each meter of length. The better cables usually have less...
