Okay guys, thank you so much for your advice- I will take it on board. I will go away and experiment!

What am I doing wrong?

The problem is that (correct me if I am wrong) with similar guitar, and the same preset- I should be in the same ballpark just needing to tweak slightly. However mine does not sound close. Let me go a step further... I will record a clip linking to this thread. You'll hear the 'character' that...

What am I doing wrong?

Same wood combo and Juggs, can master-built make THAT much of a difference? Does it sound like a 'wood'-thing to your ears?

What am I doing wrong?

Thankyou for your quick response. The input trim assisted with the gain, but the scooped, ballsy nature of Misha's tone is still evading me. I'm not sure about any Global setting adjustments... what settings were you thinking? I understand that tone is in the fingers etc, but the 'character' of...

What am I doing wrong?

Hi all, I'm appealing to the trained-ears/people in the know out there as to what is occurring with my setup currently. I set up exactly the same patch as Misha is using in the following video @1:10 ...so why does mine sound like this?!: Any assistance or advice/further questions...

Awesome dude, great tones that definately deserve a patch posted or two posted! ;-) Love the Recto'ness, but especially love the cleans! What sim/effect chain did you have going on for them? Jim.

Challenge: Recreate the Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ

Simeon: Exactly, i have experience the same with no talk from Mesa (understandably). The only way i'm sure will be some form of pink noise/frequency analysis. As a side, if anyone knows HOW it would be done, but don't have the facilities themselves, i'm after this so bad i might buy/rent the...

Challenge: Recreate the Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ

Thanks for your quick response and input guys! I have that Effect Block already though, and it only simulates one position combination of the sliders? (Correct me if i'm wrong) The issue is the fact that the Q value is not a constant. From what i understand, the more dB's pushed or cut...

Challenge: Recreate the Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ

Hi all, hope you are well. The title gives you the idea. I do not have access to a Mark Series Amp (specifically Mark IIC+, IV or V) otherwise i would attempt this myself. Great sounds can be achieve with specifically shaped IR's etc - but i'm after the real deal coming right out of my...

Metallica-Style guitar riffing

Audio sounds awesome Frozen, the patch wont open for me in the Axe-Edit though? Anyone know why? It's set to 'II' and i can view it in the Preset Folder, but i cant get it to load in the grid. Everything else in that folder does!! How frustrating! Jim.

Speedloader: Interesting patch. I didn't have much time to go into detail with it (try getting a drummer high on energy drinks to sit still and not play) but the same issue was there...what I would 'blanketing' or 'no high end, mid heavy'. I'm starting to doubt my own ears and what is the...

I've just read my post, and I'd just like to clarify that I'm not Axe Fx-bashing. It really is the best thing since sliced bread! I just need to get it working for me. I sold an extensive Mesa and Eventide refrigerator rack for this baby and I know what I want to hear, i know it can do it, as...

It isn't particular to any patch, it's across the board. Imagine a reverse smiley eq curve, every patch regardless of setting. I currently use a Mesa Graphic-esque EQ with the PEQ block on all patches to get them sounding 'natural'/like the real life amp. The lows and high boosted by 8.88db and...

Hi Guys...I've stumbled across something and I'm not sure what it means! I run Axe Fx Standard -> Art SLA2 -> Mesa Traditional Recto 4x12 I have been having great difficulty getting my setup to sound acceptable. NOBODY's patches seem to sound any good through my rig. Always too light...

Mesa Recto 4x12 SRF?

75hz seems to sit well. Cheers bud. As a side: I occasionally clip my SLA2 with palm mutes, the audible effect isn't distortion, but rather a speaker fart. Doesn't seem to be a level issue, but rather a bass energy thing. The tone sounds healthy until I chug a particular chord (ATM a G...

Hey there, I'm using a Standard-->Art SLA2-->Mesa Standard Recto 4x12 Straight Cab setup. I have tried the 'filter sweeping whilst chugga chugging' test to no avail... Can anybody shed some light as to where I should set the Speaker Resonant Frequency in the amp's advanced section with...
