    NGD - Epiphone Firebird

    I’m still loving this guitar. I’ve not been impressed with Epiphone guitars generally over the years, but also got a Noel Gallagher Riviera this year and they’re both cracking guitars, especially for the price. I genuinely can’t believe it only cost £499. And yet I’m still eyeing a Murphy Lab...

    Help with Adam A7X studio monitors for AxeFx III

    My small room is an acoustic nightmare with an open door behind me, furniture for the sound to bounce off, as well as an 80’s arcade cabinet. BUT, I have a pair of A7X’s and they sound incredible with the AF3 with zero tweaking. Definitely not boomy, but plenty of low end even without a sub...

    NGD - Epiphone Firebird

    As I have more than enough Les Pauls, Strats, Teles, etc this year I’ve picked up a couple of guitars out of my comfort zone and ones that sort of do their own thing. Honestly it’s been really inspiring and made me play a lot of different styles. I picked up a Jazzmaster earlier this year and...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    Finally got round to getting this pack myself and completely agree. If you look in the manual, Justin recommends/suggests the 4x12 basketweave.

    250$ for Metallica Black Album Preset

    I forget the exact video, but I followed one on that channel that was a tone tutorial for all the albums for the AF2 with a bunch of free irs. Obviously they all apply to the 3 and imho sound fantastic. They’re still my go to presets for Metallica and sound way better than any others I’ve...

    Show us the Quilts!

    My 2012 CS Strat. It’s supposed to a flame top and the shop I got it from also had its brother that was very flamey. Actually wish I’d got that one now, but preferred the quilt at the time. Still a beautiful guitar, if a bit showy. It sounds and plays amazing.

    No space on the wall?

    Thanks very much for this. Exactly the situation I’m in as I’ve just put three more wall hangers up on the last bit of free wall space. This looks ideal.

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    The MRSH M25 pack has been my go to cab for most of my presets, so convinced myself I didn’t need this new pack. I was going to ask if it really was that much better than what is already perfection for me, but looking at the last few pages and Justin’s comments, I know the answer. I know what...

    5 Minute Tones

    I hope Leon doesn't mind, but I'm going to go ahead and post his latest 5 minute tones video. In the last couple he's been talking about my favourite amps. For years I played nothing but Les Pauls and Marshalls, but the AF3 has broadened my horizons exponentially. I feel like I've been...

    PRS Guitars Question

    This thread made me realise that I hadn't played this guitar for a few weeks, so fired it up tonight with some Marshall presets and Sweet Child O' Mine does it feel and sound good. I still maintain it's not a Les Paul, but shit the bed it's an incredible guitar. I haven't had time to play...

    IEM for home: How to run Imac Youtube into Axe Fx III to hear backing tracks etc....

    Yeah, I do this to play along to YouTube and music, etc and as others have said, just have the AF3 connected by usb. I have three Axe as the input and output, balance the levels on YouTube, plug headphones into the Axe and away I go.

    PRS Guitars Question

    To add my two cents, I’d agree with this. I have a few Les Paul’s, including an R8 and was looking at getting an R9, but went for a core 594 McCarty instead, just for something different. Plus it was about half the price of an R9. It’s an incredible guitar in literally every way and I’ll never...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta (Beta 6)

    I don’t know if it’s something I’m doing, or that it speaks to the quality of York audio IRs, but I found I wasn’t getting any better tones with the dyna cabs. It was MUCH easier to get the tone I was after and I could get the same tone as my much loved York IRs, but it’s not making me want to...

    Calling Mark Day

    I’ve said it before numerous times, but a lot of Marks videos from around this time are a big reason I was sold on Fractal. I bet he’s directly responsible for a LOT of sales. This one is my personal fave.
  16. Nik73

    Can I just say, I love this thing!

    I think the biggest compliment I can pay the AF3 (my first Fractal product) is that it was the end for me. The end of a long search for something that could get decent tones at a sensible volume without feeling like I was settling. This thing (obviously) gives me way more than that and I’ve...

    Whats Cliff doing now?

    Totally off topic, but he really was. Comic genius. This is my favourite Clouseau moment.
  18. Nik73

    Whats Cliff doing now?

    Thanks for this. This feature was actually something I didn’t like when I was using a Helix. For me, it’s more option overload and I spend too much time tinkering, ending up with ear fatigue and something I think sounds good. Then when I come back to it realise it sounds pants. Its only because...

    Very nice guitar, congratulations. Definitely had to do a double take as it looks like the brother of mine. Almost the same photo!

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00

    So this is completely unrelated to the firmware, but if there is one word that comes to mind about the last few pages it’s arrogant. So infuriating to me and in twenty years of using forums, I’ve only ever used the ignore function for one person and can’t believe it’s on the most friendly one...

    Axe-Fx III Factory Presets Release 19.04

    After upgrading to fw 21 last night, and in my very humble opinion, I think the factory presets have never sounded better.

    Leon appreciation thread!

    Echo everything said, Leon is an absolute legend. When I first got my AF3, I was watching so many of his videos that stuff like this was showing up in my YouTube recommended videos. Love it!

    Headphone/monitors for rich sound

    Another vote for the Adam A7x from me. I had the JBL 305s and thought they sounded good, until I got the Adam’s. Totally transformed the sound for new with no other changes. Not cheap, but well worth it in my opinion.

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta (Beta 1)

    Absolutely, they should be different and have their own voice. Probably didn’t explain myself very well, but I didn’t want it to sound just like a LP, just in the same ballpark. No doubt it was user error, but mine wasn’t. Not bad by any means, just not where I was expecting. Like I said, with...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta (Beta 1)

    So, I'm a big Les Paul & Marshall guy and my number 1 guitar is a '58 reissue that, to me, is something very special. After moving on from some serious family health issues a couple of years ago, I was all setting on picking up a '59 reissue to go with it. The AFX has broadened my tastes amp...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta (Beta 1)

    Sorry to be that guy, but does this update need an amp block reset due to the change in amp modelling? I’m sure Cliff would have said if it did, but just wanted to check. Cheers

    Who's your go to Fractal guru?

    This is the way. As has also been said, the forum is an amazing fountain of knowledge. No matter how oddly specific the issue is, someone will know. I remember at about 2130 UK time on a Sunday night I was having issues getting software modellers to work with my Mac using the AF3 as audio...

    Default AMP/CAB settings muddy compared to Youtube Video?

    Not much help to the OP, but I’ve found the opposite. Leon’s videos were a big reason I got the AF3. Like this video, I loved how he picked an amp and cab and it sounded great on default settings. No endless tweaking, high or low cuts, etc. When I got mine, I couldn’t believe I was getting the...

    If I want to play at low volume, is it better studio monitors or FRFR speakers?

    Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy 1000+ LIVEGOLD TonePack for Cygnus X2

    Hey AB, I bough both this and Live Gold when they came out as I’d just bought an AF3, my first Fractal product. This pack was so helpful in hearing what this beast could do and not tweaking endlessly. It was also great in helping me start building my own presets, especially with amps I wasn’t...
  35. Nik73

    If I want to play at low volume, is it better studio monitors or FRFR speakers?

    I’d also recommend getting the best you can afford. I’m similar to you and only play at home, so use studio monitors am really happy with them. Plenty of volume and low end, even without a sub. I had JBL 305’s when I first got my AF3 and it sounded really good, they’re great for the price. Then...

    The Deadly Dual Amp Thread

    I just followed the video and used two vibroverbs in mine tuning for my guitar, but didn’t bother with the more in depth tweaks or cab settings. I’ve said it numerous times, but the YA audio IRs take presets to the next level for me without any tweaking.
  37. Nik73

    The Deadly Dual Amp Thread

    Thanks very much both for reminding me about that video. I watched it a few years ago, but never got round to trying anything. Had some fun today dialling a preset in with some YA Princeton IRs. Don't get me wrong, I think his preset sounds great with the AFX2, but good lord you can hear the...

    I loaded the beta up tonight and was having another run through Cooper’s master class, just to refresh my memory with all the handy tips and tricks. Went through dialling in the first presets (clean, EoB and classic rock) doing my usual substitute for YA ir’s and a few tweaks and sweet baby...

    Axe FX too overkill for bedroom only playing?

    Funny Chewie, because I was doing the same. Money obviously plays a big part in this decision for the OP, and understandably so. I felt a bit bad for harping on about the Axe FX is the greatest thing ever, when it’s a lot of cash when you factor in a cab, monitors, etc. Saying that though, I...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06

    I got a chance to get stuck in to this update today and it's sounding fantastic all round. Have to be honest and say I'm not noticing much difference between the beta, but I didn't get chance to spend a lot of time with it unfortunately. Off topic, but it's amazing the difference some ear...

    Axe FX too overkill for bedroom only playing?

    I’ve been a home player only for years now and tried literally every modeller to get good Marshall tone at sensible levels. My neighbours were great and didn‘t complain, but even a 5w tube amp is too loud for a small semi detached house like mine. My 100w Marshalls would make things move on the...
  45. Nik73

    Plexi. Who's got one?

    You’re welcome Teun! I use it with my 80’s metal preset using the 800 mod as well and it absolutely nails it. For the standard 800 I‘d also recommend the YA T75 pack. I really can’t praise the YA IRs enough.
  46. Nik73

    Plexi. Who's got one?

    This is the way. Mixed with the York Audio M25 mix 3 for me, really lets you hear the honk and bark.

    The Deadly Dual Amp Thread

    I found the same thing, but then realised I wasn't changing the bypass mode to mute. Cooper's Fractal Friday video on the subject is a quick, but very useful watch.

    I finished this today and, as a big Beatles fan, thought it was fantastic. Let It Be has always been one of my favourites, but now it’s no.1.

    Oh okay, NOW I understand PRS!

    I found the pickups on my 594 were way too high from the factory and the overall tone was too harsh and a bit fizzy for me. On my Les Pauls I’m used to to running the bridge tone wide open, but have it down to about 7 on the 594 and, with the lowered pickups, it made a huge difference to the tone.
  52. Nik73

    Oh okay, NOW I understand PRS!

    Late to the party, but congratulations Doug, lovely guitar. I was the same and never "got" PRS'. I picked up an SE Custom 24 a few years ago in a sale, but wasn't impressed.

    Help with a Plexi tone

    As they often do, watching Pete's video again inspired me and I tried following along with the AF3. For the 50W JMP I used the Plexi 50w 6550 and it took just a little tweaking to get that tone you're after with my LP R8. Same with the 1959 using the 159 SLP Jumped. That was using the York Audio...
  59. Nik73

    Help with a Plexi tone

    I use the jumped 100w Plexi with mix 3 from the YA M25 pack (impedance curve basketweave) and it sounds absolutely glorious with a Les Paul. Keep the high drive above the normal and there’s plenty of kerrang, bark and honk and any other positive adjective used to describe Marshalls.

    AXIII without foot controller

    I only play at home and had my AF III for a couple years without a foot controller. Never needed one, until I got one! Couldn’t be without it now. I find the FC-12 very Apple-ish, in that it’s so intuitive to use and seems so simple, but the stuff it can do is incredible.

    I picked up the M25, Friedman and Princeton packs earlier this year and have been over the moon with them.

    It really is an amazing time. For years I played nothing but Les Pauls through Marshalls.

As an example, I can't believe I missed out on Fender amps for all...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.05

    People will always debate which modeller sounds best (it’s Fractal ;) ) and there’s numerous videos/demos where they do sound almost identical. What elevates Fractal gear for me is that it’s so easy for an average Joe (like me) to get an incredible, realistic tone. No high/low cuts, EQ, etc...

    Inexpensive guitars

    Back in 2016 I bought an Epiphone ES-335 Pro II for only £265 new in a sale. The build quality is incredible for the price, but I could never get it to stay in tune. Tried loads of different things, but foolishly just gave up with it. I actually thought I’d loaned it to a friend who was just...

    Searching for Marvin ….

    Why not try building a preset yourself from scratch? I LOVE researching artists, gear, etc and then using that in the Axe to try and get the sound.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.04

    Interesting. The Archon is one of those amps I’ve tried to like after a lot of positive comments, but I just can’t get along with it. I thought it must be me, but watched a few demos of the real amp and the Axe has it nailed. Just not for me.

    I’m the same. Got off work early and spent the afternoon letting rip loud enough to annoy the neighbours. I grew up in the 80’s and was a huge fan of the “hair metal” bands of the time. That was the reason I picked the guitar way back when and it’s always been my favourite guitar tone. I have...

    I’m after some advice from the group and trying not to drown in too many ir’s again. I LOVE the YA M25 pack as a one stop shop for everything Marshally and was wondering which pack would be the best to do the same for the Fender type amps? This one or the 4x10 Bassman? Thanks in advance.

    100% agree Leon. Well, 50% I suppose. I haven’t tried the Tweed yet, but only because I can’t stop playing the 800 Mod. Just so easy to get a fantastic 80’s metal tone and it squeals like a pig with harmonics. Couldn’t help but play some early Skid Row, especially Youth Gone Wild a dozen times...

    Problems with my new AXE-FX III: It does not sound good?

    Yeah, I love mine. Like I say, even better with Cygnus! I've tried those EQ's with every pair of headphones I've had and didn't think it improved things at all, probably worse to be honest. Not needed with the Sennheisers, in my opinion.
