    Funk rock with a dash of latin

    Hey guys, We're almost done with a new song, it's quite different from the stuff I've done in the past. I went to town on the AC30 for a change and the tone really shaped my playing on this one. Enjoy :)

    Old song new video: easter eggs for 80s/90s rock fans

    Hey guys, We did a video for the song "Can I Borrow Your Bass" off our debut album (released about a year ago). My drummer is a huge fan of 80s and 90s rock, and there's heaps of hidden references all through the video to take you down memory lane. The track itself was done over a year ago. If...

    Wireless FracPad with Axe FX II and OS X

    Hi guys, My AFX II is usually connected to my Mac, so on a hunch, I bought FracPad to try something, and it worked! No additional hardware required. All you need to do is use the MIDI network setup. Create a network MIDI port between OSX and the iPad app. Point the live routings to the Axe FX...

    New original track - Prog rock/metal with a southern twang

    Hi guys, We started recording material for a new album we're working on, this is the early draft mix of the first track. Been having a ball with some amps that I don't usually use this time, especially the AC30 which I used for the lead (I'm usually a JVM guy). HBE's were used for the heavy...

    Axe FX II does some swinging prog rock in this animated video

    Hey guys, The drummer from my band put together an animated video for one of our songs. All guitars were Axe FX II. I think it was a Diezel VH4 for the rhythm and a JVM for the leads, but it's been awhile and I've been switching between guitars and amps so I could be terribly mistaken... In any...

    A couple of visualization videos, with guitars powered the AFX II

    Hey guys, My band released an album last October, since then we have been gradually putting together music videos for the songs.

    TCF BigBox Plexi Clean patch

    Hey guys, I picked up the TCF Big Box pack, I’m really digging the Plexi clean patch and whatever cab it’s paired up with. I made a few slight tweaks and added on some verb and crystals for an ambient clean patch. We’re in the process of tracking our first album at the moment, and this patch...

    Yoko - Fusion/Rock (original)

    Hey guys, I finally got around to doing the FINAL FINAL FINAL tracks for an album I've been working on since forever. This is the rough mix of the guitar tracks, with tentative drums and bass.

    Prog-fusion rock type thing (USA Clean 2, CA Triptik Mdrn, Angel Severe 1, Plexi 50)

    Ahoy mateys, Trying to be a busy bee while the year is still young, managed to get another track done this week. Quite pleased with the way this turned out, I was quite aggressive with the EQ when mixing and it seems to make the tones sit a lot better in the mix overall. I've been using a...

    Epic instrumental rock (Recto2 Org Vntg/VH4 Slvr/Plexi 50W/JTM45)

    Hey folks, Another piece being reworked for pre-production, decided to do this one with only the Waghorn and get some new tones for that guitar. I am digging the JTM45 BIG TIME for cleans, it may well be my favorite clean amp at the moment!

    Ballad type thing (USD Clean 2 + Fox ODS)

    Howdy folks, Back with another preproduction track for the album. This time all the cleans are the USA Clean 2 model with The Amp Factory's "cab legends" Fender room mix IR, the leads are a Fox ODS with the OH studio mix 412 EV IR, and the chunky rhythm is a Bogfish Strato with an OH studio...

    Some swinging hard rock (VH3 Silver + OH V30)

    Hey folks, My resolution for this year was to be productive, so I decided to get off my ass in week one and start finishing stuff. The work on the demo continues, finally got around to retracking this (though it still needs a bit of reworking...) The rhythm guitars are the VH3 slvr -> OH...

    Beetlejuice - NGD

    Finally got around to recording something with my new 7-string Waghorn, she was worth the wait :) Also finally got around to arranging this song, I've been meaning to do it for probably like 10 years now.. better late than never I guess. Might as well kill two birds with one stone while I'm at...

    Instrumental rock - FAS Class A, 65 Bassguy, VH4, HBE, Brit Super

    Hey guys, I've started working on the preproduction tracks for what I hope will finally be my first album (20 years in the making... some things don't get better with age!), I'm digging the tones coming out of the Axe (although my playing mixing and playing could still use lots of work).

    Original track - several amps (Brit brown, Diezels, AC30, JTM45)

    Howdy folks, Putting FW15 through the paces today with some preproduction for an album that should hopefully be done by the end of the year. I used my 7 string soloway and Tom Anderson classic on this one. For the Anderson - Clean (Tx Clean), Dirt (65 bassguy), riffy bits (Diezel HB3)...

    I can't play the blues (but this ODS 100 sounds pretty good)

    Yo guys, 20 years playing guitar and I'm still clueless about the blues... I traded one of my guitars for 1999 Tom Anderson Classic awhile back so I've been dabbling in stratty tones, and man have I been missing single coils all these years! Got a cool tone happening (to my non-bluesy...

    Another preproduction track - Severe2, TX Clean, JVM, TAF + OH cabs

    Hi guys, Slapped together another track tonight. I am REALLY digging the Severe2 amp with the OH Marshall 4x12 + V30s! That's a sound I've been chasing in my head for a loooong time. The TX Clean is pretty spanky as well, seems to pair nicely with the TAF fender cab with a bit of the room...

    Reamping from inst in - mono track + 3db?

    Hi guys, Was looking for some info on reamping with the Axe FX II. I read on the wiki that at some point the USB out was upgraded to enable stereo recording of the inputs as opposed to mono previously. I also noted that the reamp signal should be set at 0 dB. In wondering if recording a...

    Tool - Schism

    Howdy folks. A quick drunken Friday night cover of this song :) Had the multitracks lieing around, finally got around to working out the guitar parts. I used the VH4 channel 3 for the tones, with the OH modern cab series English v30. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the patch, as is my idiom :(

    Symphony of Destruction cover (CAE 3+ Lead)

    Howdy folks, Managed to sneak in some guitar time while my 2 month old daughter naps :D Finally got around to laying down the tracks for a Megadeth cover. The mantra for the day is DAMN YOU MARTY!!! I can never, ever, nail any of his solos :( I read somewhere that they used a CAE for...

    Enter Sandman (USA Lead Green)

    Hey guys, Metallica are finally coming to Singapore. They were a huge influence on me in the early years, decided to do (at least one) cover before they play in August. Wasn't particularly going for a clone tone, but I tried to keep it in the ballpark. Also, I almost never ever use a wah, so...

    Fingerstyle jazz (Chambered 6-string Soloway, deluxe verb)

    Hey guys, I've been working on some chord stuff (that I've neglected... for years :() and decided to throw together a quick clip on the fruits of today's labor. I'm not a jazz purist by far, just a dabbler, so the tone and playing are probably a bit off! This if firmware 10.12 btw, still...

    Panic Attack (DT cover - mark IV)

    Hey folks. I was actually going to try this last week but the song intimidated me:( I decided to have a proper crack at figuring it out today and managed to get most of the rhythm parts down.

    Welcome Home (Coheed and Cambria cover - Marshall Super)

    Hey guys, Did a quick cover of Coheed and Cambria's Welcome Home. Google tells me they use Axe FX Ultra's with the Marshall Super amp sim, so I fired it up on the Axe, dialed in a couple of quick patches and laid down the tracks.

    Blinded by Fear (ATG cover, FAS Modern II)

    Hey guys, My friend let me watch At The Gates at the Wacken 2008 last night and it blew my mind, so I decided to finally get around to covering this song. I doubletracked the rhythm guitars, the FAS Modern II is a pretty darn brutal amp!

    Reptilia (The Strokes cover). Hello Dirty Shirley!

    Hey folks, Recorded with the Dirty Shirley for the first time. Usually I'm on the JTM 45 but I thought I'd go for a change this time. 'Twas a fun song to cover too.

    Suggestion: Soundcloud Group

    Hi guys, There are some many awesome clips here and I want to check them all out but having to click into individual posts to do so means I can't do it while I'm at work or otherwise occupied, so sometimes I end up missing out. I thought it would be great to have all the clips compiled...

    Chop Suey (S.O.A.D cover + Recto Red Modern)

    Hey folks, I'm not much of a recto person, having spent most of my time with the Marshall-esque tones (JTM 45, Friedman BE/HBE, Marshall Super etc). Decided to whip out the Red Recto for this track, as preliminary research suggests a dual rectifier was used. The acoustic guitars this time...

    No One Knows (QOTSA cover, JTM 45)

    Howdy folks, Back again with another track. Not metal this time :D Sadly there's no Ampeg VT22 in the Axe-FX. This my impression of what Stoner Rock tone sounds like by way of a Tube Driver feeding a JTM 45. This song has such a dirty groove!

    Raining Bloooood! (Slayer cover. JCM 800 + OwnHammer V32)

    Hey folks, Seems like I have the thrash metal bug, here's a quick cover of Raining Blood. Haven't played some Slayer in awhile, it was fun busting out the chops tonight. I didn't dare even *try* and wing the solo... I have no whammy bar, and am a loser with the wah. And well.. I'm not...

    Smoke and Mirrors - Symphony X cover (Malmsteen strat + Plexi 50)

    Hey guys, All these Malmsteen threads had me itching for some neoclassical metal! Decided to whip on the underused Malmsteen Strat and make a Yngwie-esque patch with the Plexi 50 High. I've been listening to some Symphony X again and decided to try and learn Smoke and Mirrors. Got a long way...

    Battery cover (w/RockBand backing track)

    Hey folks, Been meaning to get around to covering this song for *years*, finally decided to get off my ass and get it done. It's missing the solo because I am a loser on the wah but I hope to add it in soon when I figure it out... I wasn't trying to clone the tones, these are just...

    HBE meets Lead Yellow in a rock/metal track

    Howdy folks, Been putting in the hours with the Axe FX II since firmware 10 came out, just put together a demo track with the HBE (hands down my favourite amp so far) and the Lead Yellow. Really digging how these 2 amp tones mix, the HBE seems to cut more while the Lead Yellow holds the low...

    Metal track with AFXII and new Ownhammer Mesa V30

    VH$+6160 goes thrash/death metal

    Hey guys, My other band is also in writing mode, hopefully we are close to getting this done. I laid some some guide tracks and am really digging the tones on FW10. Mixing the 6160 and VH4 channel 3 yields some pretty brutal results!

    A jangly pop/rock song with the Herbert

    First "full" track with Axe II (ambient/rock)

    Ambient pop - full track (Malmsteen Strat -> Axe FX II w/ deluxe verb, buttery)

    Howdy folks. Someone suggested I should post my stuff on Soundcloud instead of Box.net so I am creating a new thread for this track.

    First AxeFx track - some ambient clean guitar

    Hey guys, Here's the first "proper" thing I have tried to record since I got my AxeFX II. Clean tones are a deluxe verb, dirt is the buttery. I am smitten with the reverb and crystals :D We tracked vocals and bass tonight so I will update this when the mix is done, but am really pleased with...

    From the ElevenRack to the AxeFX II

    Howdy folks, been lurking here for awhile I sold my ElevenRack a couple of months back and have had my Axe FX II for a couple of months now. My experience with the Axe has been overwhelmingly positive, just a couple of observations below (that may or may not be useful): 1) I miss the front...
