    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)

    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

    In the Cavern of Zen - A place with too much Reverb.... :)

    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

    Silverface Patch thread

    Hi Guys, I got a few requests to post my AX8 patch on this and a few other videos. Since it is a work in progress I'll just update this thread once in a while. Here's the current version recorded yesterday: I've only had my AX8 for two weeks so this works well, but I still need to fine...

    Converting Gen 1 .sys ex to Gen2?

    Hi Fractalites! I just got my AX8, and besides getting lost in the insane amount of amps :D, I am having trouble finding a way to convert some of my Ultra IRs to the AX8. Maybe it's a noob mistake and I am not searching for it in the right way, but how do I do that? Jens

    HiPi WattFuzz

    The Good things about vacations is that you have time to mess around with stuff :) I am beginning to get why Gilmour likes the Pi Fuzz / Hi Watt combo. This patch has more note definition than I normaly get with Fuzz effects, I might even want to try to incorporate a fuzz pedal into my main...

    5 years of travel, gigs, albums, videos, teaching and lots of practice

    Maybe a bit out of proportion to make a post out of this, but when I started to think about it the list became so impressive that I it was hard to resist :) 5 years ago I bought this AxeFx Ultra from G66. Since then it has been my main rig, which means that together we've done: ca 1000...

    It never gets old

    to me anyway.... We just played a showcase at the "Jazzdag" (Jazz day..) here in the NL, which means quickly changing between bands, short sets and lots of stress with bookers and journalists in the crowd. In any case. The front of house engineer looks at my foot controller and goes...

    Here's an interesting point of view on Overdrive!

    Here's a very interesting perspective on overdrive and why it crept it's way into electric guitar music. To me it's an eye opener with the connection to African instruments and styles Jens

    Another cd recording with my Ultra! :)

    I had a great time recording with my ultra yesterday! We got the whole album and it's great to have a 45 sec soundcheck and then several amps and effects all fixed. I am sure the fractal is one of the main reasons we can get a cd done in one day :) Jens

    Demo Video for Coffee Break Grooves

    Hi Guys, Chris from Coffee break grooves was so kind to ask me to do a demo of one of their backing tracks so I made this short improvised solo with my "new" Yamaha guitar. I am obviously a bit out of my comfort zone in this style, but it was a nice challenge :) Hope you like it! Jens

    NGD

    So... after a lot of thinking about 22 and 24 frets. The reason was that I found an Ibanez artist that looked like a solid-body version of my AS2630 so I did not even notice that it was 24 frets right away. I cam across this '77 or '78 Yamaha SG1000 and thought I'd check it out because it was...

    24 fret/22 frets and neck pickup

    I keep hearing about 24 fret necks messing up the sound of the neck pickup on electric guitars. I found a really nice guitar that I might buy, but it is 24 frets (and I need to drive a few hours to try it...) What do you guys think? How much is that a factor in the sound of the guitar...

    Cafuzztrophy patches

    I never could get any tones that I really liked out of the fuzz boxes in the AxeFx, and since I've been listening a lot to Led Zeppelin lately I decided I'd try to make some patches that worked for me and my humbucking guitar :) Here's one of them, I am also quite pleased with this simple...

    Hi, There's been some discussion on making crunch and rhythm sounds lately so here is one I did in my lunch break. 10 minuters dialing in 5 minutes recording. Amp - Cab that's it.. Let me know if you want the patch. Maybe I'll try to do a few more if I have the time. Jens

    Foldback Distortion simulator

    AxeFX cd recording

    Input Jack of ES335/Epi Sheraton

    Compression at the end of the signal chain
