    Engl E580

    I had one for 8-9 yrs and sold it for the exact money I paid for it. Was a great unit and very versatile. I had it paired with a Mesa 2:90 and sounded great. However it is just a preamp and in my opinion you can get all of the same tones and much more with an Axefx3.

    Than you Leon. Just tried your preset with fw16.05 and it sounds awsome, instant Nuno and i haven’t started tweaking it yet to work with my guitars.

    New Warmoth soloist body

    This just arrived, very happy with the finish. Will be transferring the neck and guts of the orange guitar into this new soloist body. I made the orange soloist about 10 yrs ago but my finishing skills were lacking. Anyway it is basically a PC-1 copy with sustainiac And SS frets with original...

    Let’s see those Les Pauls!

    Yes, I did the whole thing from scratch. The neck inlays were tedious, and getting the neck joint right was also not easy. I’m happy though with how it plays and sounds, and I’m quite particular given my love of EBMM guitars. Can’t remember exact cost but about $1000 + a couple months of work...

    DLR content... Sad

    Exactly. I saw him live a few years ago and he was godawful for the entire show, and was sorry I paid money for that lousy embarrassing performance. I’ve seen many great vocalists live but DLR is pathetic at best.

    Yngwie blues album

    I had the unfortunate displeasure of seeing him live at Generation Axe last Dec. and it was god awful. He left his guitar laying on the stage feeding back for 10 minutes at 5000 dBs and his more recognizable tunes like Far Beyond the Sun were almost unrecognizable from the mindless shredding...

    Why Has Slash Not Fractalized Yet?

    Also, after seeing him last summer his tone was killer, I mean really great. Why would you want to mess with it? He can afford all the amps and techs he wants. Its not like he's lugging these amps like us into gigs.

    Saw Toto this weekend

    I saw Bobby Kimball a few years ago with Toto and he was great but Joseph Williams also sang on quite a few of their hits. Actually live there is not much comparison, Joe easily blows Bobby away and is a much more versatile singer. This is a multi-talented band with Luke and Paich handling...

    Saw Toto this weekend

    Completely agree with you, I saw them June 10th at Casino Rama (just north of Toronto). Best show I've ever seen. Luke was on big time and his tone out of the Bogners was to die for. Joe was a standout and the rest of the band was supper tight. Couldn't imagine a better show.

    Is pickslating usless, this guy say YES

    I know for me pick slanting does work. I've gone through a couple of periods recently were I haven't picked up the guitar for a week or two. When I come back to it my playing sometimes feels clunky, especially alternate picking, this actually happened to me just yesterday and I remembered the...

    Queensrÿche - Eyes Of A Stranger FULL COVER w/vocals (all AX8)

    Killer cover! Perfect in every way.
  42. guitvai1

    Horror of horrors, I could hear my sound in my cab.

    I concur with NeoSound. I use my Matrix Q12's to dial up my tone at home at fairly high volume and they seem to transfer really well to the PA. To test this I A/B'd our PA against the Q12's in a rehearsal studio and they were pretty bang on.

    DANN HUFF - DON'T LEAVE ME IN LOVE

    Sounds great, nice solo. Pinch harmonic missing at 0.20, correct?

    How do you increase your guitars volume when playing a solo?

    I just change scenes and have the solo scene output boosted by about 4db.

    Pete Lesperance sure can play. In fact when I saw him live with the Axe fx I ordered mine the next day.

    Ray Gun sound on Rebel Yell?

    I just found it better when playing live just to do a screaming pinch harmonic and vibrate the crap out it with the whammy bar.

    Cliffs of Dover Patch/static question?

    Try your axe fix in another building.
  51. guitvai1

    Cliffs of Dover Patch/static question?

    That's a ground hum issue, nothing to do with the Axefx. That's the same sound I hear when my guitar is unplugged and the cable end is laying on the carpet. You likely have a computer with a big monitor in front of your guitar and the gain is ridiculously high. Or...your speakers, amp, and/or...

    Bedroom Players Vs. "Pros" & the Blanket complaint

    I found the best way to really test your patches is to get your normal bands PA in a rehearsal studio and listen to how they sound through the PA board and speakers. I was happy to discover that they were pretty bang on with what I was hearing through my Matrix Q12s (FRFR) powered by a Matrix...

    Saw GNR live in Nashville last night...

    I saw them in Washington DC a couple of weeks ago and couldn't agree more with your assessment of the show. Slash's live tone was great, really thick and he played great too as did the other guitar player. I thought Axl was really energetic and put on a great show, and the set list was long...

    EVH Wolfgang Special thoughts?

    I have an EVH Wolfgang Special, the Japanese made one. It's an awesome rock guitar in a lot of ways. The Birdseye maple neck with stainless steel frets is one of the best playing necks I've ever played. The pickups are very powerful and "meaty" sounding, and it feels good around your neck...

    Atomic CLR vs Matrix Q12a

    New Lukeather tone

    No, the necks in my opinion are nothing like the JEM's. The JP6 is closer to the JEM/RG Wizard necks in my opinion. I used to exclusively use the RG Wizard necks but I've since switched to a narrower fatter neck which feels more comfortable to me. The Luke III neck has a bit of a soft V...

    New Lukeather tone

    I absolutely love my LIII's which I have two of. Both models have the HH setup and stainless steel frets/mahogany body and roasted maple neck as they are limited editions. The tone is off the charts in my opinion and the playability second to none. I tried the Luke 2 side by side but it just...

    A lot of Luke's tone comes from the EBMM Luke III guitars with Dimarzio Transition pickups. I have two of these guitars and they don't sound like anything else - it's a very smooth tone.
