My latest Axe Fx Tips and tricks video

You, my friend, just solved an issue that I've been working on for so long! That idea just blew my mind with the possibilities I can now make happen during performances. One thing in particular, Map of the Problematique by Muse, I no longer really need a DAW to play that song anymore. Thank you...

Aligning LFOs with the band

Hey, how exactly are you aligning the sequencer on it’s first step? That’s exactly what my problem is! Your help would be vastly appreciated.

Hey! Thank you so much that means a lot! Unfortunately I don't really have any knowledge about transferring to other Fractal devices. However, check out the first couple pages in this thread. I believe some users did figure out a way to get these presets working on Axe Fx III and an Ax 8. I hope...

York Audio SV-210 Cab Pack is out now!!!

I am late to the party on this one, but these tones are incredible! It has a very direct hit feel to the ears.

The cab is F165: 4x12 Citrus 57 C, no mic is used for the sim. On the Origin of Symmetry tour, Bellamy would use Orange amps and cabs. So I wanted to incorporate that older tone of his with the diezel tone.

Crystal Echoes DAW Plugin

I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed before. But has there ever been a VST plugin designed for crystal echoes? Perhaps even a user version of it from another vst? I want to try applying that sound to strings!

Merry Christmas to you as well! I hope you enjoy what you hear. As for the cab on preset #33, tell me which song you are referring to and which scene. Everything is numbered differently in my system. I'll let you know when you get back to me, cheers!

I planned on making some sound cloud demos for this package. What I'll do is pick a few songs that give a wide range of all of the different tones used, and hopefully that should help you here. I can send you the stems as well.

Its an option for sure. In my style of managing my rig as a performer, I like to set it up so I don't even have to think about anything while I'm playing. The only time I use tap for BPM is when I'm in freestyle mode. As for the pickups, I use the psychopaf's in my Manson's! Yes, they are very...

Thank YOU! I made this with the idea of being able to play every song with its own preset so I can have the proper bpm in place, with everything else mapped out accordingly. And you can only have so much cpu capacity. Let me hear what you do with the clean tone! I level matched everything the...

Hey, good question! There are different fuzz's, cleans, and drives. But its not that the tones are broadly different, things are different in each song. You'll have different bpm's, delay rhythms, pitch pedals, modulation types etc, for every song. Plus, there can only be so much CPU capacity...

I forgot the name of it and Im not with my rig at the moment. But once you download the presets you'll be able to see all about that. I spent the most amount of time on his fuzz tone. I tone matched the beginning of Psycho and it came out pretty good. I hope you like it!

Awesome! One of the factors that motivated me to do this is that Matt Bellamy has so many different interesting presets. For any guitar player, I recommend Stockholm Syndrome, Micro Cuts, and Blockades to start with. Fun songs to play, not hard to learn, and the effects are cool. Map of the...
