    New Amps Week! Bogner/5153

    No, my AxeFX and FM9 aren’t going anywhere and they’ll still both get more use than either of these, but MORE IS MORE!!!! This all started because I wanted a head for the band I’m putting together. I can settle with the Class D stuff for a cover band doing classic rock/pop/top 40, but I’m...

    AFIII Chugga Chugga IIC++/Recto stuff

    Here's a metal tune I just finished up, if you're not a fan of aggressive, screaming vocals, this most likely won't be your thing. I also curse in it a bunch, so NSFW. Non-compressed to hell and back-...

    "You need to be an engineer..."

    "....to get a good tone out of a Fractal" Let me relay my experience as an AxeFX user a few moments ago; I wanted to try adding a Jose mod to the 6CA7, so I placed an amp, cab, delay and reverb blocks on the grid and went about tweaking the reverb because it's better when it's wetter. I noodled...

    Doug Doppler interviews Justin Crew (Hammett’s tech)

    Right out of the gate it’s Fractal talk! I just started it but figured I’d drop it here. Tight work, @Doug Doppler And @Admin M@ is getting some love as well! Edit- I’m a bit deeper into it, Doug really covers a lot of questions that have been asked since they made the switch to Fractal...

    AFIII A little Gilmour on a Straturday

    Spent some time dialing in Gilmour’s OD tone on PULSE, still a work in progress but I’ll post all the Gilmour presets I have once I’m done working on them. This particular tone has been the most tricky to get, getting the sustain without using too much distortion but also not compressing it to...

    Kirk Hammett On Rick Beato (Fractal content)

    Skip to 1:20:00 (sorry, iPad doesn’t give me the skip ahead option!) Rick asks him about the Fractal and Kirk winds up for a pretty good Fractal pitch!

    Synyster Gates/New Avenged Sevenfold

    Their new album has been out for a week or two and I’m loving it as they took a pretty big left turn into prog waters with the new album. Gates himself hasn’t done much for interviews yet, but I’ve heard the singer say in 2-3 different interviews that “Syn really went hard on programming sounds...

    AFIII Some metal for your Monday

    I wrote this song 10 years ago and was never able to record it how I wanted it to sound until recently. Normally I just ditch songs that I’ve had sitting around that long, but I was pretty stoked with how I did the vocals on the chorus in this one as it gets into some Cornell/Dio territory...

    Yet another Zakk Wylde/No More Tears preset (and solo)

    I've wanted to learn this solo since I was a kid but always lacked the balls, motivation or both. Well the twins finally grew in around the same time I got the Edwards and I figured now is as good of a time as any. I'm going to post the preset, but note that this preset is heavily reliant on...

    Great deal on this pedalboard/road case perfect for the FM9/2 exp’s!

    AFIII Some Ryche-inspired metal

    This is a tune I recorded for TheGearForum's Do Something weekly challenge, I really dig the tones I got in here and figured I'd share this one. Acoustic is a Breedlove and I used my Orville with an Aldrich in the bridge for all the distorted guitars and my Gilmour Strat with EMG's for the...

    AFIII "Interstate Love Song" cover

    Since getting the Orville Les Paul friday I've been going on YouTube and finding backing tracks of songs I know were recorded/performed with Les Pauls, using @austinbuddy's Live Gold to get closer to the ballpark with whatever tone I'm going for. When I landed on the JCM800, something about it...

    Orville incoming! (Update- Recieved + An Edwards LPC!)

    The last week or so I’ve been digging into Les Paul’s a bit more, due to the release of the Adam Jones Epiphone and wanting to see how it compared to Norlin-era LP’s. In the midst of that, I was bit by the LP bug for the first time in 30 years of playing guitar. I only really thought the Customs...

    AFIII The more the Merrier, another Vai preset!

    If you would have told 14-18 year old me that I'd have Vai's actual effects, I'd pester you incessantly about how you knew that and why I couldn't have them then. I let the teenager in me free for a little bit tonight and made a Vai preset. It's 6 scenes, using the effects in different ways, but...

    Latency added by Pitch block/expression pedal

    I noticed this when switching to a preset that has a Whammy loaded in the pitch block, even when the expression pedal is heel down and there’s no pitch effect being used, when I first switch to the preset, there’s a fair amount of latency introduced until I push the pedal down and bring it back...

    AFIII My take on the Balance tone

    This is one of my favorite VH songs and Ed's tone on this was one of my early "Dude, listen to that!" experiences with guitar tones shortly after I started playing. I flub it a few times but I learned it by ear and wasn't trying for perfection...and I'm not EVH! Note- This uses Leon Todd's...

    AFIII Straturday Night Solo

    Starts off with a little noodle from the camera audio then the audio from Logic comes in. Gilmour Strat into a Dry Bell Vibe 3, one of @austinbuddy 's killer presets from Live Gold I slightly tweaked, the Superlead preset. I put a Klon clean boost in front (which I think was an FET when AB...

    Beta/FW Updates

    I didn’t want to clog up an existing update thread with this, but I do believe it’s a worthwhile topic that covers all three units. Time after time we see continuous questioning or outright complaining about the speed of updates between the III, FM9 and FM3. While I’m not going to drop words...

    AFIII Some metal for ya’ll!

    After a year of writer’s block it seems someone took their foot off the hose recently and I’ve been writing/recording like a maniac again. Just finished this one yesterday. If ya dig Alice In Chains, Pantera and Lamb Of God, ya might dig it…..if ya don’t enjoy screaming vocals, proceed at your...

    NGD- Vintage Strat Partscaster

    Almost two weeks ago I was looking at MJT bodies on Reverb, trying to find a specific kind of body for a 2T Sunburst Strat build when I came across a whole build that caught my eye. I definitely wasn’t looking to spend more than $350, but I sat on the idea of buying the whole Strat for a week...

    AFIII Mastodon “Blood And Thunder” cover (Austin Buddy Live Gold inside)

    Occasionally I feel like busting out a cover and last night was one of those nights! Took way too long to write the drum track out and I wasn’t as concerned about the velocities on the snare as I normally would be because Brann rolls off that damn thing nonstop. These are all Austin Buddy...

    NGD- Gilmour CAR Strat

    Technically, it got here Wednesday but it took me a few days to put it together- If you‘ve seen my posts before, it’s no surprise I’m a massive Gilmour fanatic. Seeing Floyd when I was 11 changed my life, made me want to play guitar immediately and I was enamored with his CAR Strat. I got an...

    AFIII Sunday Solo's with the JPIIC+ model

    I posted a clip a week or two ago of a song I was working on, it had the scratch solo on it so I filmed a video of the actual solo getting tracked today. Use the JPIIC+ model and the wah is dialed in to replicate the Dunlop Petrucci wah. Since this one uses factory cabs I'll drop the preset...

    AFIII IIC++/5150 Metal Fun

    This is just an edited clip I made at the request of someone on TGP, but I figured I’d toss it up here as well. It’s two sections from a song I wrote 20 years ago but am currently re-recording as I always dug the tune. Actually, it just dawned on me now that this is the first original song I...

    Devin Townsend going over his main preset/GP-100 sound

    Skip to 1:24:00 At one point in this stream he was asked if he’d upload his AxeFX presets and he explained that he’s been talking to NDSP about working with them on an Archetype plug-in and he’s waiting to see how that pans out before releasing anything “but if that doesn’t work out I’ll...

    AFIII Some CCV fun

    I spent the weekend re-recording a song I wrote a couple years ago and took the time to work out a solo instead of the improvised crap that was on the original. Used the CCV model with a BB Pre in front. I'm using a Digtech Freqout in the first bit for the feedback on the ends of the notes...

    First rehearsal with the FM9

    Figured I’d share a happy FM9 experience! After the Floyd tribute band thing failed miserably, I found a cover band nearby to hop into. They do a bunch of funk/R&B/rock and it certainly gives me the chance to break out of the semi-prog-metal thing I do at home on my own. I spent the last couple...

    Saw Metallica TWICE this weekend!

    I went to Welcome To Rockville this weekend and my god, what an AMAZING weekend! I missed the first night, but got in Friday afternoon. Metallica closed Friday night and tonight and while it’s the popular thing to shit on them, I have so much respect and love for that band. If anyone goes to a...

    AFIII Quick, pretty stuff.

    I've been working on thrashy metal song all weekend with a bunch of trem picking and palm mutes, so to cap off the night in the studio I started playing with some of the new blocks 17.01 gave us with some chill playing. Found a tone I really dig using a Dirty Shirley in combination with the FAS...

    Mastodon - Hushed And Grim

    Not sure how many Mastodon fans are here, but this is the only band I've ever had in my life that's progressively released better and better albums as time has gone on. I was never big into them during their caveman years, but once they released Crack The Skye, I was hooked. They basically...

    FC 1 Pedal 3 picking up FC 1 Pedal 2 Movement

    Good eve, I have 2 expression pedals plugged into my FC-6, a Mission Engineering EP-1 and a Fractal EV-1. The EP-1 is dedicated to wah and the the EV-1 does whatever else. EP-1 = FC 1 Pedal 2 EV-1 = FC 1 Pedal 3 When using my the EP-1, the volume kept dropping out as I'd move the wah pedal. I...

    Another convert on the way!

    My uncle was visiting from Virginia and has yet to try any Fractal gear. He gave me my first guitar when I was 11 and is an outstanding guitarist/vocalist in his own right. He's been using a Fender Mustang and some Mooer pedal, I'm not sure if it's a pre-amp type thing or just an IR loader, but...

    I joined a Floyd Tribute band last night!

    I've been considering joining a cover band recently just so I can get out and have some fun playing guitar in a band again, as I was the singer in the last 3 bands I've played in in the last 15 years. I miss it! I also recently ordered a replica of Gilmour's Red Strat from MJT, which I'll have...

    AFIII Starting to work on my Gilmour/PULSE tones

    Now that I've got the Gilmour EMG's in a Strat (my Red Strat replica is currently being made by MJT!) I figured I'd get a jump start on dialing in some PULSE tones, which are my absolute favorites of Gilmour's. The audio is coming straight from Logic, not my phone. I'm getting the feedback from...

    Stereo power for FM9 rig.

    Good afternoon all, I'm thinking about how I want to get my FM9 rig set up and I'm going to be running it into either two 2x12's or two 1x12's (I'll have a stereo rig onstage while sending a mono signal to FOH) but I'm not sure how I should go about powering them. I don't want to add a rack to...

    AFIII Acoustic/Electric tune, kinda Zeppy/Big Wreck-ish...

    ,,,,with 1/16th the talent. Every bit of guitar/bass is the AxeFX, minus the 57 I used to mic the acoustic with. There's 9 tracks of acoustic on this; L/C/R and channel is a mix of the 57, AxeFX and a DI from the AxeFX I tweaked in Logic. Slide guitars is the Comet Councourse preset and the...

    AFIII My rendition of "Hurt"

    I've been playing an acoustic/vocal version of this song for years, which is basically a cover of Sevendust's version of it. I put my own twist on it and I think this is the first song where I didn't record a distorted guitar on. Definitely exorcised some demons with this one. Practically...

    AFIII “Lonely Ocean” The Most Proud Thing I’ve done Yet

    So a few months back I found out some devastating news that seems like it’s finally caught up to me with no way of getting out of it. This crush me at the beginning of the year and has continued to do so. I’ve been in therapy and we’ve discussed using music as an outlet, as I’ve had issues...

    AFIII No More Tears-era Zakk Wylde Preset

    It's been a while since I plugged into a guitar cab and cranked up, as I generally just use my HS5's. I plugged my AxeFX into the return of my Peavey XXL head, going into a 2x12 with some WGS Retro 30's. I figured the power amp modeling would benefit the tones being a solid state amp, but they...

    How To Prank A Guitar Player

    My buddy Nacho is one hell of a dude. Great person, very intelligent and one of the funniest humans I've ever met. But he's also extremely gullible and quite naive when it comes to gear.

    Some help with my talk box preset?

    Not a simulated talk box, a real one. Just for curiosity's sake, I wanted to see if I could have an all-in-one talk box preset where I run an SM57 into the AxeFX and have that signal come out through output 1. I'm just recording in my house and I have an Scarlet Solo with a mic input, this...

    Bought a Strat yesterday (AKA: Single Coil Tones Are Ridiculous!)

    I’ve primarily been a metal guy for a while and all my guitars have humbuckers which don’t really lend themselves to getting Strat-style tones. I’m a major Gilmour and EJ fanboy and was really wanting to cop some of those tones, so when a Classic 50’s Strat popped up for $300 locally, I picked...

    Weird iMac audio issue

    Just a suggestion in these trying times-

    I’m starting to see gear pop up in local classifieds for dirt cheap and surely it’s from people who are finding themselves out of work with the first of the month approaching/funds running low. While it’s an opportune time to snag up cheap gear, it’s also being sold because someone is finding...

    Momentary switch questions

    Good day, gentlemen! I’m building several footswitches for my FC6 and I’m slightly confused about one aspect of the build and wanted to confirm before I order everything- 1 of the footswitches will just be a single momentary switch to control my Freqout, which will be in a loop on my III. Do I...

    Anyone know where to get a single button, momentary footswitch?

    In a Hammond 1550Q enclosure. Preferably plain, brushed aluminum or plain black. I use my Digitech Freqout all the time and don’t want to take up an additional footswitch on my FC6 so I’d rather have a small box to put on my board to control it. I don’t want to use a dual as I have other plans...

    Shift or crossfade block between Scenes
