    “Wasted Years” Acoustic cover

    This popped up in my YouTube feed. I’ve always loved the original version by Iron Maiden. Now that I’m older and play my acoustic more, this version really got my attention. Looks like it’s three years old so as usual, I’m late to the party.

    Recordings sections in the forum suggestion.

    I’m just discovering these areas and am really enjoying all the great music our talented forum members are sharing. Instead of separating these into different sections based on the model of AxeFx used, can it all go into one Recordings section? I just realized that I’ve mostly been looking the...

    Taylor T5Z Pro (New Version) Grape Vine

    This thing is fun! It’s 5 lbs, 10 oz, so it’s really easy on my back. I didn’t buy this thinking that it’s going to sound like my full-size acoustics so my expectations weren’t very high but it sounds fantastic through my Fishman amp. Even though it’s strung with 11’s, it’s very easy to play...

    Guitarists Anonymous

    Is there such a group? I think I need help. 😁 Another guitar has caught my eye and I worked out a nice discount for it. I was thinking to myself that it’s been a while since I’ve bought a guitar and then I realized that I just got a nice acoustic recently. Before that, I just got a bass in...

    "My Effin' Life" book

    Anyone read this? I'd love the Kindle version but it's priced a bit outside of reasonable. As a huge fan of Rush and currently being on a bass kick as of late, this book has caught my attention. Is it worth buying?

    NGD - Taylor 814 CE Builder’s Edition

    I’ve wanted this guitar for a long time and finally had an opportunity to buy it! These days I find myself playing my acoustic with others much more than with my electrics. The beveled arm rest is a game changer for me. It’s so comfortable to play for long periods. This particular one has an...

    MIJ EVH Wolfgang

    This was a nice surprise as I got it at least a month earlier than I was expecting. I was in the market for a US Wolfgang when I saw the MIJ series as an option. Man I love this guitar! The two things that I’m not totally into are the strap locks and the kill switch. The strap lock is a bit...

    Beato Book Interactive

    I love watching his short video tips with creative ideas but some of them are a bit advanced for me to fully understand. He also turned me on to Mateus Asato which motivated me into finally doing a deeper dive into learning music. So far, I love that he incorporated videos and music samples to...

    Strandberg True Temperament Boden+

    I suck at taking pics so this is the Sweetwater photo of my new guitar. I was aware of what the True Temperament frets do for chord sounds but I didn’t realize that it uses a different tuning to take advantage of it. Luckily, my FM3 has a programmable tuner! How many times can I say that Fractal...

    Does anyone have tips on how I can emulate the NiN “Closer” synth bass sound?

    I thought it’d be easy to drop an envelope filter block but apparently I don’t have a clue as to how to make it do what I want. A band that I sit in for plays this song in their set and I used to cheat by using a wah but it’s a stretch. I know my FM3 should be able to handle this sound but I’m...

    The most portable setup.

    I love it when I can make one trip from the car to set up. A friend of mine who plays drums wants to jam and he has nothing at his place except his drums. So I remembered that my Loudbox doubles as a p.a. and wondered if it would work with the FM3. Of course it does! :) My Strandberg weighs...

    Wish Geddy Lee Sansamp

    I did a search and didn’t find this in other threads or Yek’s Master list. Either the YYZ or 2112 version would be great, although the 2112 would be preferred.

    Friedman ASC-10 + FM3 = :-)

    This monitor is a great solution for those who are used to playing through amps and feel something is missing when playing through studio monitors or a p.a. I missed the punch in your gut feel that I got from my regular amps and I noticed that I was getting ear fatigue when I played through my...

    Poltergeist Pig preset

    I finally upgraded from an Ultra to an FM3. After scrolling through presets, I can’t tell you how happy I am to find the Poltergeist Pig preset is still in here. That patch makes me laugh every time I hear it. Has anyone made music with it? If not, I think we should have a song contest using...

    Integrating the Mark V with the AxeFx with an All Access?

    There's not much in the Mesa manual regarding it's midi footswitch. I was wondering it it's possible to integrate it's midi with the AxeFx using an All Access. For instance, I'd like to make a patch that will make the amp go to Channel 1 clean and have the AxeFx add some chorus. Any ideas?

    "Song of the Highlands" ("Eruption" patch)

    I have no idea how you guys get Soundcloud links up here so this is an experiment. This was recorded 90% with the stock "Eruption" patch with the reverb toned down and bass rolled off. After doing so many patch mods and creations, it was cool to take a stock one and have fun with it. The out of...

    Preset patch "Chop Shop"

    I was going to set an EVH patch and remembered that there's a bunch of presets in the AxeFx that were supposed to be based on his sound. While they're a bit outdated, I did find some usable "parts." "Eruption" patch #32 is a close base sound when you turn off the enhancer and delay, then...

    Rewiring a guitar to two volume pots

    I know this is a stupid question but I have a PRS SC245 Trem that I love except I wish it came with the four-knob configuration as I love to lower the volume of the neck pickup and blend it with the bridge. Since I rarely use the tone pot, I was wondering if I can rewire it into a second volume...

    ELP "Hoedown" track

    I made this because I was taking a break from some music projects. I figured I'd share it since I left the keyboard solo out and it might be cool to hear a guitar solo in there instead. Anyway if anyone is interested here's the track. http://www.box.net/shared/135fxkbm9q

    I never got to play through one and am in a Gary Moore Marshall Guv'nor/JTM45 phase. Is this pedal unique?

    "Black and Blue" Anyone want to jam?

    First of all, I want to say that I suck at the blues but that doesn't stop me from trying. :) This is my interpretation of the blues and it has clams. Yes, good blues in my head needs clams. I originally did this as a demo of my new toy (G&L Carved Top). The guitar is so fresh that I haven't...

    Recommend some drum midi packages?

    I usually write my own drum tracks but recent flareups of my chronic lazy ass syndrome has led me to using drum grooves. The ones that I bought are Toontracks Rock and Monster Midi packages. Right now, I'm looking at Groove Monkey's offerings but wanted some opinions. Generally speaking, I'm...

    "Junkyard Jam"

    I was messing around with EZDrummer's Twisted kit (thus the "Junkyard" title) and decided to record some bass and a rhythm over it. InsideOut was kind enough to lay down the leads. This is a pretty modest effort on my part compared to the tone gods here but I thought I'd share since I really...

    I had a demo tune on my iPod that has a cool drum midi. I decided to convert it and do my own thing to the track. It was a lot of fun jamming over this so I thought I would share. Please excuse the slop as it wasn't really intended for anything serious. :oops: By the way, the title comes from...

    15 Speaker Comparison video by Rivera

    Man do I feel stupid! After all this time owning my AxeFx, I finally turned the Input 1 knob all the way up. Now all the presets make sense. :oops: No wonder they always sounded weak.

    Effects loop placed after cab changing sound

    After downloading Dweezil's Eruption preset and modding it, I wanted to take some of the load off the AxeFx cpu by using external effects. The problem is that any time that I put the loop block after a cab, it makes kind of an out of phase sound. Is there a way to compensate for this? I...

    Guitar World video review

    Good to see the AxeFx going into the review circles. Overall it's a very positive review with the guy going through presets, but the problem is that their audio made some of the gainier samples fizzy. I can hear the digital bashers already. Cool demo of the Clockwork Banana preset. :D

    Rhythm, lead, and bass with an Axe

    I recorded this for my 40th birthday, so some wanking liberties were taken. The lead is with a Les Paul and the Mark IV patch. Rhythm, a YJM Strat with I believe a Marshall patch, and bass was done with a Jazz Bass and a Brownface patch. I still haven't dialed in my bass exactly the way that...
