    Pretending by Eric Clapton

    Has anyone had any success with creating a 'Pretending" preset by Eric Clapton on the the Journeyman album? I think it's one of the best recorded tones ever but can't get close. Probably to do with the vocal wah type tone on the outro solo. Any ideas?

    Blank Bank?

    Hi everyone, sorry for this I know I should know the answer but I've been off the scene for a while and playing catch-up. Would somebody kindly tell me the quickest way to create a blank/empty bank? Thanks...

    3 Sigma Audio IR's

    I haven't really kept up with the latest developments so forgive my ignorance if there is an obvious answer to this. I've just purchased a few IR's from 3 Sigma Audio (some cabs and acoustic IR's) and they come with Fractal Audio folders but these still have .wav extensions whereas I thought...

    Low Frequency hum - wtf - help!

    I've recently noticed a problem with either my AxeFX or possibly another part of my system and quite honestly I don't have a clue why it's happening and even less of an idea of how to fix it. I'm hoping one of you guys might have an answer because it's driving me mad. So basically, whenever I...

    Question for Mikko......

    ......and anyone else suitably qualified to chime in! I've just purchased cab pack 18 and am really enjoying trying out the different IR's and mixes, I'm getting some really nice warm results yet with plenty of clarity and punch. One of the main benefits I'm finding is that these IR's help some...

    A remarkable coincidence?

    I swear this is absolutely true. On the very same day I loaded Quantum b1 I was suddenly a much better guitarist than before, noticeably improved feel and tone in my fingers, and all of my guitars sounded and played way better than ever. It's really weird? For all I know I could be a sex...

    Small wish?

    When inserting a block and scrolling down the drop-down menu would it be possible for the choice of block 1 or 2 to come up automatically when hovering over the required block so it's a simple click to choose rather than having to scroll over and physically select the 1 or 2? In other words...

    Recommendations for full-bodied clean solo tone?

    Greetings fellow Axe-fxists (?) I'd like to create a full bodied smooth clean tone with plenty of character but no hairy break-up or thin/weedy sound which can be used for clean sounding solos. Ideally something that could take a drive block to add some girth without getting into the fuzz...

    Can anyone point me to the post where Cliff gave advice on getting closer.......

    .....to FW17 by tweaking a few things? I'm actually loving 18 but it's driving me mad searching the forum for Cliff's post. I just want to try a couple of things out on an older preset.

    Preset or advice needed for mag/piezo equipped guitar

    Hi guys, I've just picked up a PRS Hollowbody II which has mag/piezo pickups and I'd like to have a single preset which enables me to route both (or a mix of either) through two separate signal paths. I'm happy to try building one from scratch but I wondered if anyone can recommend an...

    Midi guitar and all that nonsense.

    I've always been intrigued by the midi guitar thing, right from the early days of Roland rack stuff, through all the VG units and most recently the GR55 all of which I've sold on pretty quickly. Despite all the promise the actual experience always left me feeling underwhelmed. So I just picked...

    Short road trip through Maine

    I'm in Nova Scotia Canada for about a week or so and decided to drive over to Maine and visit the White Mountains and take a look at Mt Washington like you do. I'm really surprised how run-down the place is, loads of derelict homes with rusty old cars outside of the main tourist areas. It's...

    Advice on getting rid of flubby bass?

    How do you guys go about tightening up the bass without making the high end shrill or leaving the tone too thin and weedy? I've tried the cut parameter and taking some bass out with the amp block GEQ but it doesn't quite do it as I'd like to keep some low end kick but a bit more defined and...

    Best damn Comfortably Numb tone ever

    This was just posted on the Fractal Audio Facebook page. Sounds great to me, full fat version with lots of shizzum going on. It would be such a treat if Edoardo chose to share his patch but failing that I was thinking how cool it would be if M@tt would host a tone seminar on the forum to show...

    Decided to sell my AxeFX II

    It's been a long journey for me starting with the standard when it first came out and then onto the II with lots of highs, and a few lows, along the way. I'm not a pro player but after my family and work, playing guitar has been a lifelong passion for me. Owning the AxeFX has been a life...

    VOL/Wah with one pedal. Boss FV500?

    I want to get an expression pedal which would act as a volume pedal by default on all patches but change to a wah pedal by using the inbuilt switch. From what I can tell the Mission SP-1 is the pedal of choice but I can't track one down in the UK. Does anyone know if the Boss FV500H will do...

    Is the AxeFX concept outdated?

    I've been thinking about tone creation this Sunday morning and thought I'd share my random thoughts. Conventionally, all modelers including our esteemed AXeFX, seem to use a similar template based around replicating the tones of existing makes and models of amps, effects and cabinets. For me...

    Tone matching question

    I've always shied away from attempting a tone match mainly because of my technophobia but inspired by Cliff's tutorial video where he tone matched another modeler's patch I decided to give it a go today. The results were no great. The tone I was trying to match was based on a clean Bassman amp...

    Triaxis models - why no cabs?

    OK, sorry for the dumb ass question but I'm not familiar with the original unit and I'd really like to know the answer. I was scrolling through the list of amp models on the Wiki and noticed that the Triaxis has no recommended cabs, presumably because it is a pre-amp, so under which...

    Which expression pedal?

    I'm planning on getting an expression pedal, either a Mission or Boss, but not sure which one to go for? Mission seem to have several available. In order to keep things simple I'd like to have it set globally as a volume pedal with a switched wah. Alternatively I could go with 2 pedals with one...

    Axe FX freezes after updating firmware

    I updated the firmware to 10.09 using Fractal Bot. Everything went as it should, but now my AFX freezes randomly (about 5 times in 20 minutes). Screen locks up, no audio and none of the controls work. One time the screen went completely blank. Switch it off and on again and it seems to work ok...

    Help with clean lead tone.

    Forgive me if this doesn't make a lot of sense. I've been thinking about trying to get a particular clean lead tone. The AFX is great for gritty cleanish tones but I'm thinking of something smoother with virtually no grit or break-up, but not ice-pick, chicken pickin' stuff. It's easy to get a...

    Roll back or not? Undecided

    For me 9.02 was an amazing experience, the best tones ever and an absolute joy to play. I've been trying to recapture some of that with V10 ever since it was released but no matter how I try there's always a nagging doubt. I just don't get the same feeling as I did before. In particular, the Mr...

    Amp block advance parameters always set to same default?

    New Adam A7X's

    Picked up a pair of Adam A7X's today to replace my KRK V7's. I was never that happy with the KRK's, always seemed a bit harsh. In comparison, the Adams are fabulous, lots of clarity without any harshness so I'm very happy and I'd definitely recommend them.

    Artist Patches?

    I know a lot of gear snobs will turn their noses up at this but imo some good quality artist patches would be a great addition to the AFX arsenal and be a great marketing tool. I'm thinking of people like Steve Vai, Neal Schon, John Petrucci and Alex Lifeson. Maybe configured for single coil and...
