    Thank you! Interesting! I bought mine on Ebay in 2008 for 80 euro I think :) Jens

    Lexicon LXP-1 Hall B Preset

    Hi Everybody, I was in the studio last week recording some real amps and I was using my Lexicon LXP-1 reverb unit. Since it is my favourite reverb and a very classic reverb I thought I'd give it another go with making my AX8 reverb like it. Here's a preset and I got a little closer (at least...

    Jazz Tone - How To Make A Strat Jazz Sound (with the AX8)

    Thank you! Yes, I guess it is may be a shift, but the effect on the tone is a mid boost though simply by emphasizing that part of the spectrum :) Jens

    Jazz Tone - How To Make A Strat Jazz Sound (with the AX8)

    Happy New Year! How to get a good Jazz Tone and how I get my tone in the videos are two of the questions I get most frequently. I haven't done too many videos on gear and tone, but I thought I might try to make one. This video is quite long and discusses jazz tone or guitar tones in general as...

    Jazz Chord Melody - Twin Patch

    Here's a recording of me practicing for a solo guitar gig. Pretty traditional Chord Melody approach. It's the last part of the theme and then a bit of the solo. I posted this on FB and got the request to upload the patch, so that is included. Hope you like it! Jens

    I am not sure what finishes the AS200 had, I think the Sco signature version is only Sunburst, but the AS200 series had more options. I would really try to find a late 70's or early 80's Yamaha or Ibanez semi. The can really stand against the Gibsons from that period as well. You will get much...

    Could very well be an AS200, the Scofield model :) The AS200 could be a bit expensive by now since it is famous. It can be worthwhile checking if you can find the signature guitar from Lee Ritenour. THey are supposed to be really good and a much cheaper. I've discovered I like the necks that...

    The Japanese 70's models from Ibanez and Yamaha are really good instruments for relatively little money. This one is a '77 Japanese Ibanesze. And stay tuned! I am hopefully getting a "new" one later this week! Jens

    Hi Axers! Messing around with the AX8 and enjoying an overdose of Reverb. Dare I say noodling in a sort of A minor Dorian? Free improvisations certainly have their place. I stay close to the Dorian sound but there are a few side steps as well. Hope you like it! Jens

    Sorry I didn't see this. You probably need the right IR or maybe disable the volume pedal?

    Silverface Patch thread

    But that is mostly related to your technique and where you play the strings with your right hand? Since fingers are softer than a pick then don't be afraid to have a the gain fairly high. If it doesn't compress you probably won't get a useable sound. I think Wes was also turning up the amp...

    It depends more on what I have to play of course, but mostly I just use the same patch and then the volume/tone of the guitar to get a good sound. Jens

    FRFR best choice?

    I have used QSC K10's for 5-6 years and they do the job really well (I am of course not really objective I guess) ! I also have no doubt that the CLR's are great though I have only tried them twice! Jens

    Very nice! :) Thanks for taking the time! It's fun to hear the patch with another instrument. Yes, I had just switched to the Double Verb Vib. It sounds fuller, more low mids I think.

    I don't think there is to be honest, but I don't know. Maybe check around or ask it in the lounge part? I am sure some guys know? I know Gilad's playing quite well. Really like that. The Mike Moreno stuff I am less familiar with. I like a lot of the Lage Lund and Julian Lage stuff as well :) Jens

    I am a bit quirky when it comes to IR's, I pretty much exclusively use far-field IR's from Jay Mithcell. There are 3 in the AX8 and Jay has shared another 3 on the forum some years back. Why I use them is a long story, but I like that they sound more like a real speaker cab and then I cut in...

    Let me guess that you mostly use clean sounds?

    Yes I have done most of my concerts and records with AxeFx since 2010: Tours, TV, radio all of it. There's a clip of my band playing on Dutch tv with my Ultra.

    Roland EV5 expression pedal calibration error

    I just calibrated my EV5's last week and they seem to work just fine? Did you calibrate them under the setup - I/O - Pedal - Pedal1 CAL Once you've calibrated you have to remember to press enter not exit, otherwise they don't calibrate (I did test that :D ) Jens

    Axe Ultra sound cabs and FOH..

    At the end of your signal chain in the axe you make a separate path that goes to a cab block and to the FXloop. That way the signal is send through a Cab IR and out to output 2. You could also consider switching so that output 2 is used for your power amp and the XLR's are for the PA? Jens

    Extremely newb type question about boosting....

    Extreme settings will give you extreme results, so maybe don't always expect that to work? In this whole discussion it is a bit difficult because the quality of a tone is a question of taste so what I find useable or great you might completely dislike... I am not sure if I am correct in this...

    Extremely newb type question about boosting....

    I guess it matters how much of the drive you want from the pedal and how much from boosting the amp, so I mostly start with drive set very low and level quite high and then I dial that in. I have sometimes found that it sounded better to boost a little less and use the drive in the pedal, but I...

On other stuff it's wah or whammy. I am begining to mess a bit with tap tempo stuff I think I could use that very well...

    2 amp limitation

    No, since the point is that you don't need more than 2 amps to make a wet dry wet setup with an axe, but you do need to know how to use the unit. Try to look at the picture again and figure out what is going on and which signals goes where. Jens
  95. Jens

    2 amp limitation

    It does not sound like you really need more amps for that, sounds like a question of routing. Edit: Something like this? ( I know it's not an AXEII patch, but for this it should not matter too much.) Jens
