Making Yek's amp models write up even better......

I have valued Yek's amp model thread for a couple years now. I also value all the users on this forum. As I have dabbled into new amps I always read Yek's write up and GREATLY appreciate when users offer settings, patches, ideas, and deep tweaks in the thread on the particular amp model. This is...

Jackson Browne 'Naked Ride Home'

Can anyone get me close to the main guitar on Browne's Naked Ride Home? On headphones it is the guitar in the right side. Chimey. Amp and settings and guitar type for that tone would be appreciated. thanks,

Agreed. Seems like every other week I find a new amp to drool on. Recently is was the 1987X Jump. This box just keeps on giving.

1987X jump - deep editing help

I am not usually a Marshall guy but started liking this model. I created this patch. Playing alone I think is sounds pretty good. But today playing with the other guitar player, bass, drums, and vocals it sounded a bit digital. Anyone understand deep editing that would like to take a stab and...

Fractal Audio AMP models: 59 Bassguy ('59 Fender Tweed Bassman, 5F6-A)

I used to have a 59 RI and loved it, but I could not make the AX8 give me the magic. Tried this above setting, now I am on my way to glorious tones. Delicious cleans and gotcha crunches. Thanks! Great amp in Fractal.

Fractal Audio AMP models: 1987X (Marshall 1987 Vintage Re-issue)

I just discovered this amp. Wow. Love the roll off volume to clean - and the roll up volume for crunch. The tones are great. For Cab I was using F189 4x12 Creamback Mix (Cel) and loving it. For experiment I tried F110 1x15 SV Bass Subkick - rolled of volume on neck pickup. Added some nice creamy...

XiTone 12" Active Wedge or Atomic CLR Neo MkII?

Yes, numerous threads dealing with Xitone and CLR. I have never tried the CLR and its advocates are many. But I did get a Xitone 12" powered wedge and am very happy with it. Mick was far better than average to deal with, it is a bit less expensive to the CLR, and mine sounds great at very low...

FAS amp models

In a recent thread, "So, what's everyone's favorite amp model?" Someone recommended the FAS Modern III. I tend toward Fenders (cleans and crunch) and use an ES-335 most of the time and have not scanned the FAS models for a couple years, but thought I would give it a try. Caveats: My 335 is in...

Any thoughts on Sony WH-H900N Bluetooth Headphones?

Costco is running a pretty good price on these. Was thinking of stepping up my game for headphones for multipurpose: general music listening, mixing, and AX8. Anyone here use them or any other recommendations in the price range $180...

XiTone Active Wedge - Ported?

Mine is like Bman. No port. But best speaker I have ever owned - at both bedroom levels and open throttle in a larger space.

Using Xitone Powered Wedges as recording monitors?

Agreed. Comparing mixes with different systems is great. My use of "incredible" was mostly for the revealed articulation and clarity of all the parts that I was not hearing as well in the Mackies.

Using Xitone Powered Wedges as recording monitors?

I just ran one of my Logic recorded mixes through my one Xitone Wedge, it sounded incredible. The articulation, clarity, and punch were remarkable. I usually use a pair of Mackie HR824s in the studio. While I have been a bit frustrated with them, I had no idea the difference that I would hear...
