Couple of Guitar Covers from Rush-Clockwork Angels

Last weekend, I made a couple of guitar cover videos (The Anarchist and Clockwork Angels) from the latest Rush album, Clockwork Angels. I really liked Alex’s guitar tone on The Anarchist, so I tried to recreate his sound by using a Brit Silver amp model, which is based on a Marshall Silver...

Judgmental Looks at the Golden Gate

Today, while my wife and I were doing the touristy thing in San Francisco and drove across the Golden Gate bridge (I believe it's a requirement that every tourist has to plunk down $6.00 and go across). While sporting my beloved Fractal Audio t-shirt and snapping pictures at the park on the...

Tropical Rock Guitar Instrumental

I put together a piece that starts off kinda reggae-ish and then rocks out towards the end. I used the Axe-Fx II (FW 9.02) for all guitars and bass using slightly modified stock presets and some modified Mark Day presets. For example, the clean rhythm guitar that plays throughout the song...

Where Were you - Jeff Beck Cover

One of my very best friends, Stefan Kalman, recently died mysteriously. A core group of musician friends got together to hold an informal memorial on the beach in South Florida where people brought pictures and shared stories about our friend. Prior to the memorial, I was listening to Jeff...

Steve Vai - Sisters - Tone Match

Yet another Steve Vai tone match attempt. This one is based on a clean Fender Twin Reverb sound. Used an Ibanez RG1570 with stock pickups (neck/middle position). Echo and reverb are from Axe-Fx II preset. There's some light EQ and compression from the DAW. Used Vai's "Naked Tracks" for...

First Tone Matching Attempt - Vai - K'm Pee Du Wee

OK, this match is not spot on (nor is the playing). Used the Cali Leggy amp model and tone matched song from CD, then exported to user cab in order to use cabinet features like room simulation. Used Ibanez RG1570 with stock pickups (Vai's are much hotter). Had a lot of fun with this project...

Trouble connecting Alesis io2 Express, Axe-Fx II, computer & monitors

Just picked up a pair of Yamaha HS80M monitors for use with Axe-Fx II and DAW. Spent the better part of the weekend trying different configurations and can't get everything to work together. It seems that the USB connectivity from the Axe-Fx II and the Alesis io2 interface are not able to work...

Polarity Warning for MIDI Foot Controller Phantom Power Mod

Today as I began to incorporate a Rocktron 5 to 7 pin MIDI cable into my setup to provide phantom power to my foot controller, I encountered something pretty disturbing; The voltage coming out of the DC power socket on the controller end of the MIDI cable had reversed polarity from the original...

Decrypting Amp Names in Axe-Fx

OK, so this is probably going to sound pretty dumb, but is there a decoder ring or something for the amp names in the Axe-Fx? Many of them are pretty obvious, but there are 70 of them and it would be nice to know exactly which amp manufacturer and model is being emulated. I fully appreciate...

ART X-15 Ultrafoot MIDI Foot Controller

Just wanted to make a quick post about the ART X-15 Ultrafoot MIDI Foot Controller, an old, late 80s foot controller I've been using to contol my Ultra unit. It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but if you have access to one, it accomplishes several things and is very affordable on...
