    New Ultra Day! Epic Picstory.

    Gonna be honest, that post was a little over the top. BUT, the clip you posted was amazing so it was worth sifting through some, um, detritus. ;) You did a great job with that recording. Sounded very professional. Kudos to you, and hopefully you'll share some tips about your sound and how you...

    I found The USB out on the AxeFX?

    It's semantics here people. I would call it a sound card too. Does it look like a card? No. Is there a little breadboard in that hump doing some electron voodoo magic? Yes. Break-out box, sound processor, whatever. "Soundcard" is my (and other's) way to say that there's an external hardware...

    Hard Rock Recording with AXEFX Standard

    Wow, that brought me back to the Shrapnel days. I started laughing when the key solo blew open. Sooooooo awesome. Wish I could play the keys. Anyway, good job on the track.

    Atomic Reactor Passive Wedges -- Not What I Expected

    When you're a/b'ing these cabs, are you using the same patches with no tweaking? Did you use cab sims with your old setup?

    Video Tutorials On the Wiki No More

    I was perusing the wiki this morning picking up some amp tweaking tips and I noticed that the video tutorial section links to now-defunct videos. Anyway, just an FYI. I considered editing the wiki to remove the dead links, but wasn't sure what the protocol was around here for wiki maintenance...

    Tweaking Yngwie Malmsteen patch + mp3

    I think you did a great job. The overall sound is pretty convincing. Share the patch if you don't mind! Thanks

    Opened for Arnel Panieta (Journey)....Ultra in concert

    Sounds good man. What sort of setup do you run in your axe amp and effect wise? On another note, I bet Sting wishes he could still hit those high notes. :) Nah, just kidding. I have no idea if Sting's still got the pipes, but I love the Police.

    replace all the existing ir cabs?

    I don't own any third party cabs, so I can't compare, however I think the stock sound very good and am happy with the selection that came with my AexFX. So, I very much like the ones that were included, but I also like the idea of being able to overwrite the defaults. Seems like a nice feature...

    New song. Post-rock + Heavy - (Axe-fx + Superior)

    Very well done. I liked the "eccentric-ness" (word?) of this. Well recorded, good heavy sounds with a lot of personality. I am learning a lot from the clips people keep posting and I appreciate what you people share!

    Also awesome. Sounds excellent, tasty riffage. You should post some patches because that sounds very nice!

    whats louder art sla2 into 4x12 or 2 powered wedges?

    Not sure how to answer since your subject poses one question and the body asks another... How about starting with question 1, and I'll pose a question of my own: Is maximum volume all you're concerned with? My opinion would be to not worry about it. You should be able to cut through any band...

    Good Place To Buy Accessories

    I need a 6U rack case and some cables. Any recommendations for good places to buy audio gear online? I've only ever had combo amps so I have no prior experience with rack mounted equipment, and now I find myself with the AxeFX and a 3U poweramp and am not quite sure what to do with them...

    Atomic Reactor FR 50W Powered Cab Waiting List

    Can the Axe FX process bass guitar?

    Many people have posted on this forum that use the AxeFX with their bass guitar. Search the forums and you'll find a variety of opinions on how well it works. If I recall correctly, the reviews are mostly positive, but check them out and see what you think. I will say it will be better for both...

    FBT Verve 12m or Atomic Reactor Passive Wedge

    Check on here for "FRFR Shootout" There are a couple of people who have done comparisons. That being said, I just bought a pair of passive wedges. Can't say how good they are yet, but I suspect they'll be a step up from my 5" Mackie studio monitors.

    Active or Passive?

    Sure. The passive versions are just like any other traditional speaker cab - you plug your guitar into an amplifier, and the amplifier powers the speakers. In an Axe FX user's case you would go AxeFX preamp -> Power Amp -> passive reactor cabinet/wedge. The active versions simply take the...

    Well, check that first when AcousticFreak and ToneWizard show up. Careful, he might be on to you guys. He could use some 100 watt IP breakup to fool you in the future.

    No "ignored" words in the forum search function!

    This guy's got it nailed. It's much easier to just let Google handle site searches for these types of forums. In this case they're using an off the shelf open-source bulletin board, so while someone could easily go find the code and modify stuff like this, in my experience it's not worth it...

    What's the most you've fucked with an instrument?

    When I was a kid I tried to scallop the neck of a junk strat copy I bought from a friend for 20 bucks. I spent days slowly scraping away wood with a beautiful set of chisels that were my Grandfather's. Came out okay, but it was VERY radically scalloped due to my inexperience and the fact that...

    Clark Kent presents: ICKOLOGY

    Like it a lot. You did a great job recording and mixing this. I need to dedicate more time to learning how to write and produce stuff. I've played for about 15 years now and always just enjoyed "playing for playing's sake", but for me that always end's up just me playing covers or improvising...

    Reactor Passive Waiting List - Anyone Notified Yet?

    The last I heard from Atomic the Reactor Series passive wedges were supposed to be in stock at the end of the first week of August. Has anyone on the waiting list been notified and able to purchase yet? Thanks

    atomic reactor passive cabs with SS power amp

    I want to have the same setup but it does seem most here prefer the powered versions. I am still waiting for them to become available, but it was a simple decision for me. Somebody gave me a nice poweramp for free, so the savings of going with passive atomics is quite large, and I'm also not...

    Day 1 - Noob Sound Problems - Please Help!

    Yeah, definitely a "no" in my experiences trying to use Line6 gear as a PowerAmp. I tried this before with another preamp and the problem was there was no way to get a neutral sound. I had a Duoverb and you can't just run through the amp, there's always a model involved. Even if it's "Line6...

    Passive Alternatives to the Reactor Wedges

    Bump. Well, here I am almost a month later and the Reactor Wedges still aren't available. I love my Axe Fx, but it's just not enough ooomph for me to rock through the little 5" Mackie studio monitors. I am hoping some different eyeballs catch this post and might have a few recommendations for...

    Dual Wedges or Dual Cabs?

    Pantera tone

    WOW AlbertA. That's a pretty impressive clip. Excellent job. I've always liked that tone because Cowboys From Hell was the first album I ever got into that was heavier than Van Halen. I love heavy stuff now, but Pantera was the kindling for me. I have lots of sweet memories of Pantera on...

    Dual Wedges or Dual Cabs?

    So I am (or, had been) planning on getting two passive Reactor wedges once they're back in stock. I mostly plan to play these in my home, and I assumed that the wedges would give me a better distribution of sound towards my noggin than cabinets. The other benefit being if I wanted to gig with...

    Passive Alternatives to the Reactor Wedges

    I want to buy a set of passive Reactor Wedges, but for a few weeks now they have been out of stock. I will probably end up just waiting for them to be back in stock, but I would like to know of alternatives. I am only interested in passive cabinets because I already have a capable poweramp...

    Crest Audio VS450

    I don't currently own any independent cabinets, only three combo amps. One of them (A Line6 DuoVerb) might have inputs on the back so I can use the whole unit as a passive cabinet, but I am at work right now so I can't look at it. I doubt is has that though, and I am probably going to sell it so...

    Crest Audio VS450

    So I am getting an Axe Fx and am planning to get either a 2x12 cabinet to use with it or perhaps a Reactor Wedge. Anyway, have only ever owned combo amps in the past and have no gigging experience, so the world of poweramps is very new to me. Long story short, a friend offered to give me a...
