    AFIII Prog fusion track with weird bass tritone tuning

    Recorded this new proggy fusion track this week called "The Tanagran Triton" with my Axe fx II (there is no II prefix!). The bass was recorded direct using a vst amp plugin (Brainworx). The bass is tuned in tritones F#CF#C. A rather weird tuning that generates some new ideas and sounds for me...

    New prog fusion track with my new Ken Smith bass!

    Not sure if many people are still watching this side of the forum anymore :) ....But here is a track I just finished. I bought a Ken Smith Burner 6 string bass two weeks ago and this track was a sort of test for me how the bass recorded. It doesn't disappoint I have to say! The track is called...

    Cool Guitar Synth Sound!

    Came up with this guitar synth sound. Synth block going into a Multi Delay block, Band Delay. Using volume pedal to swell the notes. Sounds pretty cool I think! Playing the middle part of a new track in this video.

    AFIII Solo tapping piece video (with TABS!)

    New chordal tapping solo guitar piece that I wrote. A little bit inspired by Tosin Abasi's and Tim Henson's playing, but not trying to copy anything. Tabs are included in the video. If you want a pdf of the tabs let me know. Sounds from the Axe fx. Thanks for watching, Barend Tromp

    New track called "Begging for Tony". Here I use a hybrid tapping/slapping technique on bass from my recently published bass books Next Level Slap Bass (Volume 1 & 2). This technique is an imitation of the sound and technique of the Chapman Stick which I played long time ago for seven years...

    AFIII Jeff Beck on fretless bass

    This is my hommage to my number one guitar hero Jeff Beck. When I heard about his passing I had to do something. I wanted to emulate every nuance of Jeff's playing on 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers' in detail on my fretless 6-string bass. The solo (at 2:42) is my own interpretation. I couldn't...

    So I bought a Boss GT1000Core

    I was on the waiting list for a FM9. But it takes much too long and I needed a small unit for a live project, didn’t want to lug around my Axe fx II plus MFC. So I bought a used Boss GT1000Core for 450 euros. I have to say so far I am really pleased with it. I had to get used to it because I...

    Boss GT-1000 Core or HX Stomp?

    I maybe want to buy an extra modeller/multi fx. I have an Axe fx II and I am waiting for an FM9. But I am just on the G66 waiting list for one month or so. So this probably will take a year waiting or so (?). I don't want to lug my Axe fx II and midi controller around and I want a simpler setup...

    AFIII Ode to the Crimson King

    Just finished a track called "Ode to the Crimson King". Not trying to copy things, just my own interpretation of their music and an ode to this great band. Both Axe fx II and III used for guitar recordings. Bass is recorded direct with the Brainworx Ampeg B-15N plugin added. Hope you like it...

    Bass wah block settings?

    Question for bass players. Do you use the wah block for bass? If so what settings do you use? I have a Dunlop Bass wah 105Q and I like that sound. I am trying to get something similar out of the Axe fx II but have a bit of a hard time getting good bass wah sounds. Most of the settings have too...

    Can you save controllers and modifiers?

    Bass solo piece video with whammy, dual delay and capo "Double Whammy"

    First new piece in 2022 called "Double Whammy". I used my Axe fx II on my bass. Fx are two delays in series and whammy. I use an open tuning with capo. Sound quality is not great because I quickly recorded it with my Ipad.

    AFIII So I borrowed an Axe fx III; fusion dance & fretless bass

    Noise floor Axe fx II vs Quad Cortex

    I had a Quad Cortex on loan from a friend this week. No intention to buy it but just wanted to try it. I liked my Axe fx II mark 1 more for most things. Especially the effects. Captures are pretty good on the QC. Amp modelling is more or less on the same level as the Axe fx II I think. But what...

    Weird half time shuffle, fusion or what is it?

    I recorded this new track. It has been long since I recorded a half time shuffle. So it was about time to do it again. I play 6 string bass and guitar on this one. The mix is not completely finished. Guitar is Axe fx II, bass is recorded direct in the soundcard with some plug ins added later...

    How to get a Ross compressor sound?

    I have an AnalogMan Bi-comprossor pedal which is a copy of both a Ross and Orange Squeezer pedal. I especially like the sound of the Ross.

    Setting threshold for Pitch (and Delay) block?

    I am working on an idea for a new piece. This piece has a intelligent pitch shifter with two voices each with it's own delay in the pitch block and then going to a dual delay. Producing a rhythmic pitch delay sequence. Nice sound in itself. But now I want to add some bass notes at the same time...

    Why is the Reverb input mono?

    Is there a reason why the reverb input is mono? Say you have a dual delay or a pitch shifter (or any other block) with hard panned signal and put a reverb block at the end of the chain. When the other blocks go into the reverb you lose the stereo panning. Is that correct? If the reverb input was...

    Sitar and bass: Pink Floyd Goes India

    Just finished recording "Calcutta Zoo" (Pink Floyd Goes India). A new song from my upcoming solo album. My brother made the video. In this song I play sitar, bass and guitar. Guitar is Axe fxII. Forgot if I recorded my six string bass through my Axe fx II or direct. Hope you like it!

    Weather Report tribute -"What would Zawinul Do?"

    I made a homage to Zawinul/Weather Report. It is a remake of 'Milky Way' the very first Weather Report song on record from 1971. I played multiple fretless bass tracks through my Axe fx II. The last (12 string guitar) part of the song is a sort of reference to Ralph Towner who played one song on...

    Axe-Fx III or FM3 for effects only users?

    I am still on Axe fx II. Wasn’t really planning on upgrading as I can still do what I want with the Axe II but the recent effect improvements got me thinking. I only use a few amp models. Maybe 10 at the most. I almost never use dual amps. I am more interested in effects and effect routings...

    New trippy proggy fusion vocal song "Acid Washed Colors"

    Are controllers and modifiers saved in a Block?

    Any good envelope filter sounds in the Axe-Fx II?

    I have been experimenting a lot with envelope filter sounds in the Axe fx II. Especially for bass. Tried both the filter and the wah block with modifiers. Also tried some presets by others.

    How to sync the Tremolo to a Metronome?

    I know how to set up the tremolo to BPM but when you play for example a square wave tremolo with a metronome it’s impossible to get in sync because it doesn’t start at the beginning of the cycle on the first attack. There is no run feature in the tremolo as far as I know. Is there a way to set...

    Using only expression pedals with no MFC?

    I have an MFC with three expression pedals. However for some gigs or when I am at home I don't use the MFC at all but only use the expression pedals and Axe Edit to control my presets.

    Octave divider low cut??

    Systech Harmonic Energizer possible on Axe-Fx?

    Can the sound of the Systech Harmonic Energizer be replicated with the Axe fx II? Any ideas how to get that sound? It's sort of a mix between fuzz and filter/wah. It's the sound that Frank Zappa uses a lot in his solo's. Also replicated by the TWA Triskelion pedal.

    Can we get rid of the update warning?

    Personally I find it a bit annoying that I get a warning each time I open Axe Edit that there is a new update of AE. When I am on an older FW I don't want this new update. And I don't see a reason why you should get that warning. When I want an update I will find out myself. Not a major thing...

    This is not specific to any FW because it was always like this as far as I can remember. I can't hear any changes when moving the low and high cut 'knobs' in the Octave Divider algo.

    Oil Can Echo Reverb?

    Apparently mine has not! I have the Axe II for more than two years and I thought I wouldn't be interested in effect pedals anymore once I bought it. But I still keep looking at youtube videos of some nice new pedals. Also I still use some pedals along with my Axe. Some of them sound better than...

    Best way to connect my bass? Fx only

    I want to use my Axe fx as an effects processor only. Not using the Amp or Cab block (I prefer the tone of the Aguilar over the Axe fx bass amps) I want to use my Aguilar Tonehammer preamp and my Matrix GT1000FX poweramp connected to my Bergantino AE212 600 watt 4 ohm cab. I can think of two...

    Experimental fusion trio Thrang

    Here is a compilation video of some new songs from my experimental fusion trio Thrang. All guitar sounds coming from the Axe fx. Sound is coming directly from the camera so no fancy studio mix. Hope you like it.

    Anyone using Korg Nanokontrol 2 for Axe fx real time control?

    Just got the Korg Nanokontrol 2 for my birthday. I will use it to control Ableton. But I thought it might be also be great to be able to control Axe fx effects parameters with it to have more real time control. Got it to work with Ableton but not sure how it works and how to set it up with the...

    Two new Allan Holdsworth Pitch delay sounds

    Got inspired by watching a recent Holdsworth concert on Youtube. Seems he has some new weird pitch delay sounds which I have never heard from him before. The first one is sort of a recreation of his sound. At least my impression from that. It's very hard to hear how the pitch shifter settings...

    Modifier ON OFF question

    I am trying to get a faster response of the ON OFF (min/max) modifier. What I mean is this: I am trying to create a killswitch effect by attaching the ON OFF modifier to the bypass state of the volume block. But when rocking my expression pedal the OFF state happens about half way of the...

    What's wrong with the USA 400 bass amp?

    I have been experimenting with this amp lately. But I can't get it to sound right. It sounds very thin and with very low volume compared to the other bass amps. I have AB'ed it with others amps using the default setting and the difference is very apparent. Even with the fat switch engaged and...

    New solo bass piece with FAS bass amp

    Recorded a quick video of a new bass piece called "G Spring". Bass is in tenor tuning. I used the FAS bass amp for this with a very soft delay and reverb. 'Discovered' the FAS bass amp today and it's my favorite bass amp for now. Hope you like it!

    Can this set up harm my amp?

    I have a gig tomorrow and want to try this set up but I am not sure if this can harm my amp. Since I recently blew up an amp on the music school where I teach I am a little pre cautious. Still not sure what happened there (wasn't using my Axe fx by the way). So this is what I want to do: Guitar...

    Who is using the Formant block?

    Never really bothered about the Formant block until yesterday. I discovered that it can be nice for some things especially when combined with the Drive block. Maybe we can share our experiences with the Formant block in this topic? Would be nice to know how other people use it and exchange some...

    New solo piece using two different delays in series

    Finished a piece today I was working on for some time now called "Lost Home" and made a quick video. It uses two delays in series (one very long and one medium delay). I also use a volume pedal for the intro and a second expression pedal to kick in the reverb (around 2:00) Third expression pedal...
