    Win all Fractal Audio ML Sound Lab Cab Packs (6000 IR's worth over $300)

    Here's my debut song I released a couple of months ago, with all guitars using ML IRs. Super happy with how the tones turned out. Congrats on the new tiny human, Mikko. :)

    'Closure' - Steven McNulty

    Hey guys! I've just put my first publicly available original track up on YouTube if you're interested in giving it a listen. All guitars and bass were the Axe-FX II with mostly ML Sound Lab IRs. https://stevenmcnulty.bandcamp.com/ You can also download a copy here if you like it. It's up for...

    My Custom FCB1010 Labels

    Looks awesome, man! I've recently moved on from the trusty ol' FCB1010 and have been putting together a smaller MIDI rig, but it's cool to know that people are still getting some use out of the designs I made. :)

    'Paper Moon' - Plini (Q2.01 + Cab Pack 13)

    Thanks Miko! For the 'Wombat Astronaut' video I used the Misha Mix 4 IR, and for 'Paper Moon' I used Misha Mix 8.

    'Paper Moon' - Plini (Q2.01 + Cab Pack 13)

    Here we go. The presets are available in the descriptions of both videos. Keep in mind that they both use IRs from Cab Pack 13, so you'll need those.

    'Paper Moon' - Plini (Q2.01 + Cab Pack 13)

    I've actually swapped out the active EMG 707Xs that came stock with the guitar for a passive set of Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentients. I've actually found that the passive pickups have a lot more clarity than the actives. I have a cover of another Plini tune on my channel that I did before I...

    'Paper Moon' - Plini (Q2.01 + Cab Pack 13)

    Hey guys! I've just uploaded a cover of Plini's excellent track 'Paper Moon. I used the new Quantum 2.01 firmware with the CA Tucana clean and lead models, and Misha Mix 8 from ML Sound Labs' Cab Pack 13. The preset is available in the description. Comments/criticisms are welcome. Thanks! :)

    Port City 2x12 OS Wave - V30s + SM57

    Yeah, I've never been a fan of SM57s by themselves either. As far as that sound goes though, these IRs work pretty well. Hopefully I can get access to some better microphones soon so I can produce something better. Thanks for trying them out. :D

    Port City 2x12 OS Wave - V30s + SM57

    No problem, guys. I would love to know what you guys think of them or hear some clips of you using them if you've got the time. :) I might try shooting some more tonight or later in the week.

    Port City 2x12 OS Wave - V30s + SM57

    Hi there guys, I've finally gotten around to shooting some IRs of the Port City 2x12 OS that I picked up back in January. This is my first attempt at shooting IRs and I've only got a less than ideal room and a single SM57 to work with, but I think some of these are pretty decent and at least...

    FW 19 Shirley

    I've recently discovered and fallen in love with the Dirty Shirley model as well. It's probably the most versatile amp I've come across. It goes from beautiful cleans like your clip to full on high-gain perfectly. Great tone and playing. :encouragement:

    How many of you use REAL cabs still?

    I use both. I'm a bedroom player primarily right now, but I think it's just generally nice to have a real cab to play through if a situation calls for it or if you just feel the urge to shake some walls. That said, I'm a student living in a flat with 5 other people and obviously I can't crank a...

    Axe FX II (FW19.00) vs Positive Grid Amp Match

    I'm listening on shitty laptop speakers and I'm not sure which is which, but the first one sounds better to me. (Not that you're asking lol) I'm going to guess that the second one is Bias as it seems to have the slightly odd sound quality that I experienced when I tried it out. But yes, it's...

    Getting close to that Hevy Devy tone.

    Absolutely stunning tone. Damn near identical to my idea of his tone. Was there any tone matching at all or did you just dial it in by ear? I'd love to have a look at the preset if you'd be willing to upload it. :) I'm definitely a huge Devin fan too. He's a great musician and a very down to...

    Strandberg Boden OS 7 Review

    Thanks man. Yeah, I'm definitely missing the option to split the pickups. I'm looking at buying another set of Seymour Duncan Pegasus + Sentient pickups to put in it. I have a set in my other 7 string with push/pull coil splits and they sound great.

    AXE FX VS KEMPER +BOSS .

    Cab Pack 13! Misha Mansoor!!!

    As usual Mikko, you've done an impeccable job. I jammed with these all afternoon and found a few favourites, but all of them are great and very usable. Between this and Cab Pack 7, I've got an IR flavour for just about every situation. You better stop making each cab pack so comprehensive and...

    'Atlas' - Monuments (Firmware 19.00b3 w/ Cab Pack 7)

    I actually learnt it from a tab since it's written in an open tuning which I'm not familiar with. Learning it didn't actually take too long; most of it was learnt over a weekend. Most of the riffs are based on each other so there's a bit of overlap in their rhythmic patterns and whatnot. Getting...

    'Atlas' - Monuments (Firmware 19.00b3 w/ Cab Pack 7)

    If the sound in your head isn't that of a tube amp, then I guess there's no need to fork out the extra cash for an Axe-FX when any modeller can do what you're after. The type of tone that has become inextricable with the genre isn't exactly the sound of a vintage tube amp on the edge of breakup...
  27. StevenMcNulty

    'Atlas' - Monuments (Firmware 19.00b3 w/ Cab Pack 7)

    Yeah, as far as I know he used the Pod XT on that album. I read somewhere a while ago that he doesn't like the sound of the Axe-FX; go figure.
  28. StevenMcNulty

    'Atlas' - Monuments (Firmware 19.00b3 w/ Cab Pack 7)

    Thanks. It means a lot to hear that from you. :) I definitely agree with you about the mix of that album. I've found it a bit difficult to listen to since it came out last year, but I find the writing good enough to make me look (hear?) past it. The tone for this video was certainly a lot more...

    'Atlas' - Monuments (Firmware 19.00b3 w/ Cab Pack 7)

    Guitar cover of 'Atlas' by Monuments. It's a fairly straightforward song, but it's deceptively difficult to get all of the right hand stuff tight and clean. Altogether it was pretty fun to learn. The tuning is John Browne's usual tuning; Ab F Bb Eb F Bb Eb. It's been quite a while since I've...

    Port City OS2x12 V30 IRs - SM57 - Sean Ashe (37 FREE IRs!)

    My mid-semester break is coming up the week after next, so I should hopefully have some time to try shooting some UltraRes IRs of my Port City 2x12 OS with V30s.
  31. StevenMcNulty

    I think I've been trying the wrong amp all this time...

    I don't really use drive pedals at all, but I find that the Mark IV is probably the amp that is least in need of a drive pedal in front. There is a lot of gain on-tap, and you can create a clean boost with the input trim/boost switch and have it switchable using scene controllers and modifiers...

    NGD: Port City 2x12 OS Wave and Matrix GT800FX

    I'm going to look into getting some IRs and recordings done with this setup when I get a chance. I'm pretty busy at the moment with moving into a new flat and university starting up again, but look out for a new thread in the User IRs section within the next couple of months.

    NGD: Port City 2x12 OS Wave and Matrix GT800FX

    I think that something has gotten lost in translation. If you look at my preset layout that I attached to my previous post, you'll see that I've got the FX Loop block running a parallel chain off to the side before the cab block. That is sending a signal that hasn't been processed by the cab...

    G3 modeling thread

    I think that you're slightly misinterpreting what I'm asking Cliff (either that or my internet sarcasm detector is malfunctioning). What I mean is, will the "reboot" of the modelling engine be so significant that it will benefit the sound of the FAS original amps to a similar extent as the...

    G3 modeling thread

    Just out of curiosity, will this "G3 Modelling" have any significant impact on the FAS original amp models compared to the impact on the models based on real amps? From what you've said, the improvements seem to based more so on accuracy to the real amps, but you said that it's a "reboot" of the...

    Default Metronome Level?

    Yes, again I think I'm being misunderstood. If it isn't already possible, I would very much appreciate that same saved tempo functionality to be applied to the metronome's LEVEL parameter. Currently it resets to -20dB after every reboot. It seems unnecessary, to me anyway, to have to adjust it...
  46. StevenMcNulty

    Default Metronome Level?

    I understand how to alter the volume of the metronome, but what I'm asking is if it is possible for that set value to remain on a global or preset level after a reboot without needing to alter it every time.
  47. StevenMcNulty

    Default Metronome Level?

    Hey there everyone. I have no idea if this is an odd or stupid question, but is there a way to set the metronome level to a global/preset value that will be recalled upon reboot in the same way that you can set the global/preset tempo? I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious to...
