    Directly in the center on the back panel. And not trusting Apple with audio? I'm certainly not an expert with regards to all technology etc, but I would have thought Apple was pretty up there in terms of quality and innovation on stuff? Again don't quote me, but I'd be pretty surprised if an...

    Mixing in Mono makes your Stereo mix better!

    I hope others can pick the tip up early then!!! :D Really? Listen to the bass guitar depth in the lower freqs and the highs / presence in the cymbals, they open up more and gain more clarity! Let me know :D The cut in the mids is really quite substantial (around the 400hz mark). That's a...

    Are your monitor levels right?

    Hey guys! Another interesting concept to throw at you! The Axe FX is capable of some wicked Stereo effects, so surely it makes sense to ensure that it's being portrayed correctly in the environment you're setting it up in right? Do NOT dismiss this video as a "Nah my monitor volumes are...

    Np! I love in the UK so Kalium strings usually cost me £50 a pop! That's $80!!! The pickups are Artec Soaps with a 3 band EQ and 4 way treble cut pot. Probably get a custom pickup one day, but these sound cool for now!

    Modern death metal guitar test: High gain essentials Ultrares

    Boxy as in too much low mid, but I'm wrong about that, relistened, (I'm really tired). It's just thin, whole guitar track is pretty thin, but playing is tight and freqs sound pretty flat (good thing). Just gotta fatten the whole thing up imo.

    Why I love my axe fx II

    My thoughts exactly!
  65. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I trust RDM when they say they honour the 3 year warranty and I've also seen g66 state that they cover the unit not the buyer. Plus if all goes to shit, I have small claims court and Red Dog writing that they offer the warranty etc. Thanks for the feedback!
  66. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I disagree. But my version of "can't afford it" is: can I pay my bills? Can I eat? If the answer is yes then I can afford it. I cycle this question until I've bought the item in full, if I get to the end consistently saying yes then I have been able to afford it IMO. Could if afford it up...

    Hang on a second... Where have I said anything about people having to pay for it in cash otherwise they don't deserve it? I have no idea what you're referring to by "YOUR mentality" what is it you think I'm saying etc? Hopefully I can understand your way of thinking so I can solidify my point...

  71. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Yeah :D
  72. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I understand what you're saying, but I've seen it written that g66 will honour any unit that is bought from them, they check the serial number and if it's from them they will honour the warranty. Just search the forum for 2nd hand axe fx g66 etc
  73. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    G66 are a distributor first and foremost. They just sell the products too, which is pretty unorthodox, but works great.
  74. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Well g66 warranty follows the unit not the owner from what I've read. And warranty was my concern. I'm definitely interested in how they make a profit from it, but surely g66 just sell them cheaper to them... ?
  75. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    They do match it, I spoke with Mike. It's exactly the same as buying it from g66. Same price, same warranty etc.
  76. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    They don't, but they have the XL in stock. Which is £150 more I think.

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Fantastic! Other than the fee for calling Germany hahaha :D this is great news, just waiting for the other company to open in an hour. Feel awkward, but it's my right to cancel and I'm pissed off that they didn't mention that Fractal wouldn't condone / honour the warranty. Plus I run the risk...
  79. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    That's great! That's means I could cover it while I wait for the deposit to come back. They just don't state that you can use a card on the site. PayPal or bank transfer are the only ones on there, but they don't state that they so NOT accept cards. So I hold faith :D

    This has been such a ballache for me man. I'm not sure I can pay G66 by card?

I'm certain the Axe will be...

  82. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Yeah that's true, it's literally just the feeling like a dick aspect, after getting them to skip one in etc then the day it arrives saying, sorry I wish to cancel my order.
  83. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    My logic is this... RDM stated that they have ordered the Axe FX from Europe... The ONLY place in Europe you can get an Axe FX from is G66 right? And the fact they wouldn't drop lower than G66's price is a STRONG indicator that they bought it from G66... This then leads me to believe that G66's...
  84. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Well all I want to know is if G66 will repair it should anything go wrong with it.. If they will then I'm happy to stay with Red Dog Music and have faith that the Axe will last longer than 3 years in my bedroom. It's a cool environment here.

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Alright, problem is I imagine they'll get it in tomorrow and red dog have really high reviews from independent review sites etc.. My main concern is just if it dies after a year I'm kinda fucked. My gut is telling me to cancel and go the g66 route. Means waiting another week for refund etc...
  87. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I can afford it outright, it's just these guys have ordered one in from Europe specifically for me so I feel like a dick cancelling on them with them being a local shop etc. wouldn't surprise me if they bought it from g66 and marked it up in price...
  88. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I think I'll talk to them tomorrow to raise my concerns and then call it from there.
  89. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Damn. What's postage time to UK?
  90. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    So I'm not sure what to do now, I think I'll contact the new company and request a 3 year warranty or I'll cancel my order as g66 is offering far more. What's the failure rate of axe fx's?
  91. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Just saw that fractal offer a one year warranty, so do red dog, so nothing lost here to my knowledge? I think g66 offer 3 year warranty though? I guess I'd just like to make sure nothing dodgy is going on here with my order... It's £2000 of my cash, I can't just find that again if it goes...
  92. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    I bought it outright. And warranty not valid? How long is the warranty from fractal? Need an answer ASAP! I can still cancel.
  93. H

    Red Dog Music (UK)

    Just ordered an XL from these guys (who are selling it for £2700 ish), got them to price match to G66 £2080. The reason I mention this is that Red Dog offer finance options etc for those of you that would like an Axe FX and might not be able to afford the up front whack!

    So regardless of how loud it is, the fact remains you need a lot of volume to push signal so that it can feedback. Irrespective of headphones or speakers :D

    Agile guitars, anyone?

    I played a few customs when I visited the states. I ended up buying an RG7321 that I modified and redyed as it played and sound a lot better. That was a $400 guitar vs $1000+. Lucky I guess?
