Played my Axe-Fx II for the first time today...feel a bit let down

I just spent the better part of the evening dialing in tones, downloading from the Axe Change and getting creative. Man, this is where it's at! Everyone was right, the presets aren't that great, but doing something as simple as just adjusting the EQ in the Axe-Edit software makes a HUGE...

Played my Axe-Fx II for the first time today...feel a bit let down

This morning before work I tried running the Axe to the FX loop on my Peavey. Aside from the crazy amount of feedback I was getting from the amp (didn't have my HUSH plugged in though), the tone was MUCH fuller. It sounded like a tube amp :) I guess I was expecting the sound to be richer out of...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'm anxious to play around with the Axe some more, but I'm currently stuck at work. I thought about running the Axe through the Peavey FX loop as well. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see what happens.

Played my Axe-Fx II for the first time today...feel a bit let down

Hey guys, I got my new Axe-Fx II today and went through all the presets trying out the different tones. I particularly like the DAS Metal and FAS Modern for metal tones, as metal is what I predominately play. I don't know if it's because of the speakers I'm using (M-Audio BX5) or what, but I...

Metallica patch needed

Hi guys, has anyone tried the silent underground patches with version 10 of the firmware? How much tweaking is required since those are for version 9? I get my Axe-FX II tomorrow :)

Strongly considering Axe-Fx II; just a couple questions

That's a good point. I'm sure there are more than enough tones that I'll enjoy with v10 ;)

I plan to run it through M-Audio BX5 D2 studio speakers. I'm looking for that studio polished sound, so I'm guessing v9 will be the way to go, but we'll see.

Strongly considering Axe-Fx II; just a couple questions

Based on everyone's comments, going through the forums, checking out tones, and comparing functionality, I decided to go for the Axe-Fx II. I just placed my order and I'm stoked! I've read a lot of people are unhappy with firmware v10. I'm wondering if I should roll back to version 9 once my Axe...

Man, that was quick! Unfortunately, I don't have an Axe-Fx so I can't check it out ;) I really appreciate you taking a run at though!

Strongly considering Axe-Fx II; just a couple questions

I really appreciate everyone's input! Looking at my finances though, I'm wondering if a used Ultra might be a better choice. I'd be about $1000 cheaper. Does anyone have any experience between the two? Thoughts?

Thinking of buying an Axe-Fx Ultra, but few concerns

Wow, that's really cool of you to do! I'd be looking for rhythm tones from primarily Master of Puppets, and the Black Album. I would be playing a LTD EC-1000 with EMGs, and using M-Audio BX5 D2 studio monitors. Thanks for the tip on viewing from the beginning. It looks like there are presets...

Thinking of buying an Axe-Fx Ultra, but few concerns

Hi, I'm torn between buying a used Axe Ultra, or saving up for a FX-II. I was looking on the Axe Change and didn't see any tones to download for the Ultra. Everything appears to be for FX-II. Is there a repository where I can find some? I noticed a zip someone made on the forum with a bunch of...

Strongly considering Axe-Fx II; just a couple questions

Thanks for everyone's input! I like the idea of maintaining that great tube sound at lower volumes; this is something that I struggle with on my Peavey. Since I live in a condo I can never play too loudly. It also sounds like the tones not carrying over between firmware isn't that big of a deal...

Strongly considering Axe-Fx II; just a couple questions

Hello, I'm extremely new to the world of amp modeling and digital effects. I tended to stay away from amp modeling due to the stigma of it not sounding like a real tube amp. I currently play a LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 6505 212 combo, and just recently picked up a used Line 6 Pocket Pod from...
