    David Gilmour tones from Brit Floyd

    I know Ian from way back, I was actually in a local cover band with with him in the late 80's in the Syracuse area. Super guy and overall really talented musician. Always fun to catch up with him when he swings through town.

    Saw Brit Floyd Last Night

    I saw them this past week in Syracuse. I agree with the original post, I think Edo's tone was slightly better to my ears. That said, both were excellent. Ian is using the FM9 for his bass as well. I actually played in a band with Ian in my college years, he is from central NY. Good memories.

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    This is a real possibility in my opinion. Another thing is some of these chip manufacturers are taking advantage of their customers. For example something I have experienced several times...."we can get that part expedited if you are willing to pay a premium price to move up the list". Sounds...

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    I'm a hardware engineer for my company, and I can tell you for certain things are at a standstill at Analog Devices. We have multiple programs at risk because of their parts as well as some other big IC makers. Things, on our end, are improving slightly but not even close to what we need. I'm...

    NGD Solar S1.6ET LTD FSBM

    I have three Solar guitars. I truly believe they are one of the best values out there. Evertune bridge, ebony fret board, SS frets, a variety of switching options, all for no more than $1200 USD for a high end version. That, and they arrive from Spain in just 2 days! Once you learn the nuances...

    Axe FX II Live Rigs

    Axe FX II with MFC-101 into Mission Engineering Gemini II. I like my FRFR cab to look like a piece of backline gear, not a monitor. And, it sounds just great to my ear.

    New Mesa Boogie John Petrucci JP-2C amplifier!

    I just got this amp last Wednesday, Needless to say, it has gotten much hype. Well, it is worth the hype in spades! I've owned the Mark V 90W head, but I never used the Mark IIc+ channel because it seemed very thin sounding to me. Not the case here, this amp sounds amazing. The clean channel is...

    I know it's super early, but adding the new Boogie JP-2C would be extremely cool.

    Eliminate hiss on EVH 100watt channel 3?

    I know this is probably NOT the answer you want, but I keep the gain on the red channel of my 5150III at around noon, it really doesn't give you much more after that anyways. At that position the hiss is GREATLY reduced on my amp to the point where I can get by without a gate, although I...

    How precise is the Axe 5153 Red to the real amp?

    I have owned both the 50W and the 100W, notice I said 'have owned'. The Axe FX nails the 5150III tone, all three channels. I sold my amps, no need to have them anymore.

    FRFR SOLUTION (opinions?)

    Your "Standard' tone

    Shiver for clean, Cameron for Crunch, and 5153 Red for High gain leads.

    Undecided if the Axe FX II XL is for me

    Since I got my Axe FX II XL, my Mark V and 5150III became 60lb. paperweights. Hence, I sold them! The flexibility you have with an Axe FX II rig just cannot be equaled. Perfect for live, perfect for recording, just perfect period!

    Ruminating on Selling Amp Collection

    I sold both my Mark V and 5150III. Although I think I want to plug in to one of them here and there, I never truly regret selling them. Not to mention my bad back likes my Axe FX a LOT! If you have no pressing need for the cash, I would keep your favorite and move the rest. Never hurts to have a...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 16.01 Released

    Installed last night, sounds amazing! Thanks FAS!

    Which amp sealed the deal for you?

    Friedman HBE and 5153 Red for my heavier stuff. Bogner Shiva Clean, can't go wrong!

    Your opinion please?

    Thanks so much for your time and response Cliff, needless to say I feel a lot smarter right now!! I have much to learn!
  32. smd24fan

    Your opinion please?

    Nope, no microphone at all. Just one rig versus the other straight up! I realize in this type of scenario they will surely be different. Think I was just EQ'ing too much on the Axe II. Flattened out the Master EQ and it feels much less "boxy" to me now. I'm just amazed at how close they are...
  33. smd24fan

    Your opinion please?

    Thanks guys! Flattened out the EQ and giving it a run. Sounds really good still, just some minor tweaks to my amp tone stack controls.
  34. smd24fan

    Your opinion please?

    Hey all in Fractal World! I was wondering something and I'm hoping you could help me out. I was just curious how everyone uses their Global EQ? If this has been addressed before, please point me to the thread and I would be grateful! I was playing the other night and was comparing my EVH 5150III...

    Axe FX Ultra in the house!

    Hey all, new to the boards here. Took delivery of my new AxeFX Ultra on Friday and have been tweaking away all weekend. I've used it both as a standalone with a power amp and 2x12 cab and as an effects only through the loop of my Mark V. Amazing unit no matter how you choose. Just wanted to drop...
