    Amp Blending Fundamentals?

    1: I usually choose the amps to blend based more on the gain structure and one or two specific things. Like say you prefer the low end of a Mark 2C+ but you don't feel like the midrange is great, and then you see that you like the midrange character of a Diezel VH4, you could blend the two and...

    Help getting this tone....Deadhead by Devin Townsend

    Hevy Devy is the original reason I got an Axe FX! The biggest thing with his echo is Parallel Processing. It's basically a way to get a sort of "Wet/Dry/Wet" rig without having to use multiple amp or cab blocks. I use it on every single preset I make! I put an example of one of my presets below...

    QOTSA - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire

    Nowhere near completed, still have to track some background guitars and other instruments, the only thing I've touched as far as post processing on guitars is setting levels and the filter effect at the beginning on the drums and guitar. All guitar and Bass tones are Axe FX 2XL+ into an Apollo...

    Ok, ready to make the jump back to Gibson’s

    No you're 100% correct, I just meant that like if the stock pickups aren't what you're looking for that's changeable, but how it feels in your hands and the physicality of it can't be changed, at least not without some surgery and a hefty bill! The other reason is cause I've sat down with a Les...

    Have you delved into pickup swaps?

    I hated the stock pickups and wiring in my Les Paul when I got it, it had coil taps and a db boost. I first tried out the Slash set but quickly decided they weren't for me and I swapped them for a set of Seth Lovers and 50's wiring with treble bleeds, and I've been happy with it for quite a...

    Ok, ready to make the jump back to Gibson’s

    As with any guitar, play as many as you can and focus more on how it sounds unplugged and most importantly how it feels. Pickups, tuners, pots, caps, bridge, tailpiece, can all be upgraded or changed if you want, but the neck and body are forever on a Les Paul (as opposed to a Fender where you...

    AxeFX2XL+ As a guitar teacher online

    I'll walk you through the setup I've used for this that worked really well for Zoom lessons. Axe FX mono preset, into Input 1 of my Apollo Twin, Microphone into Input 2 of the Apollo. I could have used my HS7's for monitoring but that can be hard to do when using a mic for talking too as the...

    Decent Tone but totally dynamically flat, doesn't sound like a guitar?

    What trick did you use?? I'm always tweaking trying to get my presets to sound more organic, and the biggest improvement was figuring out how to use the Room controls, but I just go by ear so I'd love to know what trick you used!

    Ugly squeal after palm muting, Gates don't help

    Funny enough, I had that same thought and went to change the batteries only to remember I'm using Seth Lover's LOL

    Ugly squeal after palm muting, Gates don't help

    FET Boost is like 10 on the level control but only like 2 on the drive control. I'm mostly confused cause this has never happened before, even on the same preset, I've used it for months with no adjustments or issues

    Ugly squeal after palm muting, Gates don't help

    SO I've been having an issue where when I play staccato like palm mutes, after the note stops it's like a squeal on the tail of the palm mute. I've tried changing cabs, changing cables, etc. but nothing stops it. It's only on high gain presets. Anyone else experience this? It's a JCM 800 #34...

    High frequencies that regular amps don't have + Help on preset needed

    I've dialed in a nice straty SRV/Hendrixy preset, and I love it but I'm noticing that the high frequencies are a lot more piercing than like a regular tube amp. I know moedelers have a wider frequency range than tube amps and regular speakers, so I'm wondering, where would I put a high cut in...

    Volume Drop only on one side??

    Yeah, I don't use the scenes, I just switch between X/Y on the drive block and turn the delay block on and off. But I'll try output 2 Edit: Before I get hate for not using scenes. I usually do, it's just that this particular preset was built for and only used in the studio, so I don't have a...

    Volume Drop only on one side??

    I've been having an issue off and on for a few months and it's gotten to where I'm actually worried. So I have my Axe FX set up as follows: Output 1 Left into input 1 of a Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII, and Output 1 Right into input 2 of the Apollo. The issue is that randomly the volume on...

    Eric Johnson high frequency roll off?

    Eric Johnson high frequency roll off?

    As Sprint said, pick choice has some to do with it. EJ uses the red nylon Jazz III's, he's actually got a signature pick. The tonal difference between like a .6 Tortex VS 1.0 Tortex aren't much. But the tonal difference between a regular tortex pick and a nylon JIII is surprisingly drastic. It...

    Eric Johnson high frequency roll off?

    So what I'm gettin here is amp set with no treble, combined with really bright speakers? That would actually make a lot of sense how he's simultaneously getting a wooly tone that cuts through the mix! I'll test that out! Also, any IR's you'd recommend would be awesome, I'm horrible at picking...

    I don't know what that means though, what does optimized vs non-optimized DO? I don't understand how it makes a difference if there's no audible or detectable difference?

    Eric Johnson high frequency roll off?

    I've gotten somewhat close to EJ's legendary Violin tone, it's not really that complex of a signal chain. BUT!! I cannot for the life of me get that round high end? His lead tone always sounds like the cab has a thick quilt between the speaker and the mic, cause the high end is liquid smooth and...

    What's your I/O Instr IN % ?

    Depends on what instrument I'm using. With my humbucker guitars I have it set around 45-60%, with my P90 or SC guitars it's at like 65-70%, with my bass with active preamp it's set at like 25-35%. In all honesty, the whole I/O levels thing confuses me so much, I've read the manual but still...

    How do you get a good Jazz tone??

    I'm using my one and only (currently), Gibson LP Trad w/ Seth Lovers. I can get close using the neck pickup and the "Boutique 1" model, but it's still slightly breaking up when it gets to the point where I'm getting enough sustain

    How do you get a good Jazz tone??

    I have no problem making slightly broken up tones, and crystal clean tones are easy, but how do you get that nice warm jazzy tone?? Any time I dial in a clean tone it feels "weak", like it's sterile and has no sustain no substance. So how do YOU go about dialing in a good jazz tone??

    Mushy/Muddy Low End Amp Settings??

    Sorry, I should have been a little more detailed with my issue! "Giving Out" meaning that when I play lower notes, it feels like the "amp" is collapsing, I don't know a better way to put it? LOL It reminds me of when you turn a vintage tweed deluxe up all the way and the amp just kinda farts out...

Only issue is that on lower notes it feels like the amp is giving out, which I'm thinking is just one of the deeper amp block parameters? I've turned...

    Having trouble with setting up dual amps

    Is there a way to get the amps to come out of the left/right outputs? Like the way I have it setup in my studio is that left goes to input 1 of my interface and right input 2. I think my main issue arises when I try to pan them.

    Having trouble with setting up dual amps

    Volume. I can’t seem to get to sound “right”. Like when I have a dual amp setup in real life, with real amps, it doesn’t double the volume when I turn one on. But with this, it’s like one amp overpowers the other really bad. I just feel like I’m doing SOMETHING wrong. I just don’t know what.

I add in the “cable” from end to end (as one...
