    Live blues tones on the AXe

    Interested in comments; Is this a blues tone you would find useable? We get so few live recordings in band context I thought this may be useful to those people wondering about more low gain tones. http://forum.fractalaudio.com/ultra-std-recordings/90332-blues-tones-ultra.html

    BLUES TONES ON THE ULTRA

    Two tracks from a live private jam a few months ago. The playing is disgusting but I'm really happy with the sound. 1981 Ibanez LR-10 with SD Antiquity pups. Ultra----Matrix.....2x EV12L.........Zoom recorder.....Rehearsal studio. Just for the record: I know my phrasing is terrible, as is my...

    ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE ULTRA!

    Just got back from 5hrs of jamming with the Ultra and I have to say I'm totally happy with the patches I've set up for my LP and Strat. The Axe II is obviously a more sophisticated machine but as a pragmatic ex pro player the Ultra, Matrix 800, and 2 EV 12Ls do everything I need. A few...

    AT A CROSSROADS WITH THE AXE FX: WHAT TO DO (Long post, with paragraphs)

    I posted this on TGP and got some really useful, thoughful advice (unusual, I know) so I thought I'd now post here as well. For the sake of context. I play Blues, Jazz, Fusion, and pop/rock styles of all kinds. No metal/punk/or grunge. I play in small to medium venues often unmiked. I...

    THUMBS UP FOR THE MATRIX GT800FX

    I promised the Guys at Matrix I'd write a review when I purchased their amp and I've waited till I could put the amp through its paces properly before making comment. Music room/Bedroom reviews don't cut as far as I'm concerned. I've owned the Matrix for well over 6 months now and had the...

    Any love for the old KORG A2/A3 ???

    I’m in the process of deciding what to sell in order to get an AXE II, and plugged my old Korg A2 to compare them……….. Despite it’s age the A2 holds it’s own quite well. Although specwise it’s nowhere near the AXE it does sound about the same through a pair of open backed 12Ls I plugged...

    EQ TIPS TO MAKE MY STRAT SOUND MORE VINTAGE.

    I have a ’88 Fender Strat plus, lovely instrument, and had enough refinements to convince me to buy a strat after 30 odd years with Ibanez and Gibson. I currently have Dimarzio Area 58s and a 61 installed, and whilst they are great pickups and I do like the sound, they don’t sound...

    Ultra & Matrix V Ultra & Mesa Mk III Power stage

    In an attempt to get a little more tube response I hooked my Ultra up to the power amp of my Mesa MkIII amp. Surprisingly the MkIII was thinner and brighter (0 presence and no pull Deep). It took a lot of global eq to get the Boogie to sound ok. I've no doubt that at gig volumes the...

    How do you connect 2 expression pedals + midi controller at the same time

    I have a perfectly servicable midi controller that suits my needs (old ADA MC-1). It has no added expression jacks etc. I'm currently using 2 mission pedals and the MC-1 with my ultra and would like to do the same with the AXEII when I buy one. I don't want to use the Fractal midi unit or...

    POWERAMPS: COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES

    Whatever happened to the industry standard specs that enabled me to compare watts to watts, STN to STN etc. I’m thinking about buying the Matrix power amp mainly for size and weight. I’m currently using a Crown XLS 602 which is perfectly adequate for my purposes. I would like however to...

    Anyone use a mixer INTO the AXE: For multiple guitars etc

    First post, great forum, great product. I just bought an Ultra less than a week ago. (I'll let the AXE II settle in for a few months before I think about an upgrade.) I'd like to be able to run an Electric, Acoustic, and a Mandolin into the Axe. Using a mixer to even out the input levels...
