    ART SLA users; power amp sims ON or OFF?

    Another vote for the PA sims on with the SLA-1 here :D You`ll find you can slighly change the character of an amp with the MV and how high it`s set, most older style amps do sound better with the MV set high.

    Art SLA-1 rig

    This is a really good point, The axe has so many tweaking possabilities that you can tailor it to the different EQ curves of different speakers and also different rooms to a degree. I`m using the Scumbacks here (H-55 & M-75) here with my SLA-1, it sounds pretty damn good through those...

    Still happy with your Art SLA?

    Another SLA-1 user here, I still enjoy using mine and i`ve not once thought about replacing it since it`s been here, so that probably says something. I did own the VHT 2-50-2 and whilst thats an excellent poweramp, for my needs here the SLA-1 has taken it place very well. I`ve been...

    Noob Question: Downloading firmware?

    It may be worth trying out another Midi interface perhaps, I couldnt get the UNO to work here at all no matter how hard i tried, i switched to the Edirol UM-1 and havent had an issue since. It`s weird as some computers do work with the UNO well, just not mine.

    Which cabinet for ART SLA-2?

    I`d agree with this recomendation, The Avatar gear is well priced and it`s also cool that their speakers are pre-broken in. If you can stretch yourself for some scumbacks www.southbayampworks.com then just in my humble opionion they are the top of the range. I did a lot of speaker swapping...

    New to the Axe FX, looking for help regarding power amp

    Re: New to the Axe FX, looking for help please! I can speak from experience with both the VHT 2/50/2 and the Art SLA-1 into a Quadbox loaded with GB`s. The VHT is an amazing poweramp, i`ve done a lot of A-B testing with the VHT and the ART SLA-1, running the SLA-1 in Bridged...

    Anyone Running Mono Output

    I think you`ll need to create a set of patches for mono use, just in my experience i find it`s best to have a seperate set of patches for each intended use. There`s plenty of memory in there and it`s quite easy to copy a preset to a different location, then edit it from there to...

    ART SLA Performance report !!

    Maybee try swapping one of the V-30`s out with a G12H-30 or variant of that speaker, that`ll add some highs and lows that the V-30 can sometimes lack. I tried a few different speaker combinations before settling on a scumback M-75 (GB voicing) and a scumback H-55 (simular voicing...

    Axe Fx Vs. Line6 Vetta II HD... and gear for Axe...

    I can back this up also, I had the VHT 2-50-2 here at the same time as the ART SLA-1, i bough the SLA-1 expecting to flip it as i thought there was no way it`d sound as good as the VHT. Well i now have the ART SLA-1 and the VHT went, to my ears the Art is flatter sounding whereas...

    Challenge: Alice in Chains

    Did you manage to tweak a patch to get close to your Bogner yet Hunter? I`ll have a go myself next week through my FRFR setup, i`m plugged into my SLA-1 and guitar cab ATM but can get pretty close using the Brown amp model. Will report back if i can nail those tones from Dirt going FRFR.

    Help with cabs please

    I totally agree that a well designed/built 2x12 can sound bigger & better than a 4x12. I`ve had some great results with the SLA-1 running into a hardwood 2x12 loaded with scumback M-75 & H-55`s, these are voiced simularly to Celestion Greenbacks and Celestion Heritage H-30`s(55hz). I a-b...

    My second Axe-Ultra freeze-up...feeling a bit more concerned

    I had the same thing happen here on 7.14 last weekend. It locked up a few times, but at the time i was doing a lot of tweaking, and once i had everything tweaked, the axe was fine. I`m not worried at all, when i`m playing out the axe has always perfomed flawlessly and i`m...

    Hardwood Rack Case

    G`day Steve, The SLA-1 is quite suprisingly loud, i run in in Bridged Mono mode which is around 280 or 260watts, usually leave the volume on the sla-1 on full and run the axefx volume 1 on 2 o clock. It`s pretty close in volume to the 50 watt plexi.

    Hardwood Rack Case

    Cheers mate, The wood on the rack case is called Jarrah, it`s a native Australian Hardwood, our dessert climate produces some quite unique hardwoods over this way.

    Hardwood Rack Case

    The ampfest was a total blast :D Some great gear there, the highlight definately being Aussie legend Dave Leslie ripping it up on a couple of full stack SLP`s linked together, geez that guy can play!!! The AxeFx more than held it`s own thats for sure, i had a few guys come up...

    Hardwood Rack Case

    Hey thanks for the cudos everyone ;) This is pretty much my first venture out with the AxeFx so it`ll be interesting how it stacks up in a room full of some of the better amps down under here. I`ve got a laminated brief rundown of the Axe that i`ll have alongside it, just to give guys the...

    Hardwood Rack Case

    We`ve got an ampfest down here in Sydney this weekend, i`m flying across from Perth which is a good 4hr flight, i`ve been running around trying to finish this rack case off in time so i can display the AxeFx there. I`ve spent the last few nights dialing in the Axe at volume trying to...

    ART SLA-2 users and S.S. power amp users get in here please

    I think you`ll be very happy with the SLA-2, I finally found the time to crank up the AxeFx into the Art at volume, was very happy with the results. It does just as good a job as the VHT 2-50-2 IMO, it`s probably a little more neutral if anything which is pretty much exactly what you...

    How do I set up my Mac to record from the Axe digital out?

    I may try this myself, just wandering if there is any noticable difference in terms of sound quality by running the digital outs vs analouge? cheers.

    Wow... changed the way I'm using my Axe just a touch...

    That`s the beauty of this thing Jeff, I`m equally as happy going FRFR as i am going through regular guitar cabs with the Art SLA-1, it`s as if Cliff covered every possible angle with the AxeFx. How do you find the tonespotter?

    Really like those tones there Hunter, Which cab sim did you use on this patch? i thought the playing was pretty damn good!!

    Recabinet 2.0 Modern and Vintage - Out Now!

    I`m finding the only one that works for me so far is the Green 4x12 also, but it`s got a less low end than the stock Axe IR`s. Using the Reference mic IR`s and adding the R121 from the Axe helps, i guess i`ve gotta give it more time to tweak these to work with the Axe.

    Recabinet 2.0 Modern and Vintage - Out Now!

    Downloaded it as soon as i recieved the email, cheers Shane. Really digging the new Greenback 4x12 IR`s with the R121, getting some nice results blending it with the axeFx`s Cali 4x12. LOL, i need a day off to demo all these cabs :mrgreen:

    About to buy ART SLA-2 -- Hookup question

    Once you recieve your SLA-2 you`ll see on the outputs where to wire it up for bridged mode, it`s labelled pretty well on the back of the SLA-2. It`s pretty straightforward, mines all rigged up in the rack so i cant take pics right now, but you`ll see what i mean once it arrives.

    Would this work? FBT Verve 8MA content

    No worries at all. Thanks for clearing that up for me, looks like i`ll have to decide between 2 x 8MA`s or 1 x 12MA. Looking forward to hearing a few reports on the 8MA

    I`m a tad hesitant posting clips up here, some of the clips up here are outstanding, and i`m no Steve Vai :D This is the Plexi 2 into the Cali 4x12 with the R121 mic sim, recorded direct into garageband, no eq, just exactly what i was hearing straight out of the axe. I...

    Would this work? FBT Verve 8MA content

    I`m considering picking up a couple of 8MA`s to run in stereo. Just wandering if it`d work linking an 8MA and an 8M together, using the first 8MA (amplified speaker) to power the second passive 8M? Or alternatively doing the same thing with the 12MA and 12M. I see they have an XLR out so...

    Another thing i LOVE with the axe-fx...

    Mate i`m totally with you on this :D It`s very cool having the ability to run through a regular poweramp/guitar cab alongside a FRFR setup. I`m just getting into this myself, it`s also pretty handy being able to eq either one so they both fit in well. I`ve found the same as yourself...

    Can one Verve 12MA pull off the Brootalz?

    Sounds like a blast Steve :D I`ve come around to the FRFR side of things myself, i guess it`s taken me a while to get my head around not plugging into a quadbox. I`m gonna have to get me one of those 12MA`s, the Adam A7`s kill at home friendly volumes, LOL, but i cant see...

    Had some fun last night

    The SLA-2 sent it packing Steve :mrgreen: Ahhh, well thats probably overstating it a little, i just didnt find much difference between them both, the one thing i miss with the 2-50-2 is the presence and depth controls, but aside from that i`m loving this thing. I`m considering...

    Verve 12MA availabilty

    I`d be really interested to see how the 12m goes with the SLA-2, i`m considering going down the same path as i have the SLA-2 here allready.

    Had some fun last night

    Had a blast last night with the standard. I`ve admittedly been neglecting the FRFR side of things, have been playing through an ART SLA-2 and a quadbox loaded with scumback M-75`s. That has sounded so good that i havent really spent any time dialing in the FRFR monitors. Well last...

    Post Your Rig!

    Now loaded with the 2/50/2, I cant get over just how good the axe fx sounds with this poweramp into a quadbox. Still running the poweramp sims on but with the cab sims off, i`m one happy camper with this setup!! :D
  46. B

    Post Your Rig!

    Here`s mine Finally got around to building myself a shockmount 4U rack case, it should work well, only downside is the weight but at least everything in the rack will be safe and sound. The Crown Poweramp will be replaced with a VHT 2/50/2 as soon as customs let me have it :D...
  47. B

    WOW! Recabinet!!

    I really dig Clawfingers IR`s too, the ReCabinet IR`s just add more choice. I`m using a few of the Recabinet IR`s on some of my patches, they sound excellent. I think Java summed it up well, they seem to be somewhere inbetween the old Axe FX cab sims and the new 6.0 cab sims.

    Hi Chris, Thanks mate, i`m still not 100% happy with he recorded tones but just need to spend a little more time dialing it in. I did the drums on Battery ages ago and made a few backing tracks, imported that MP3 into Garageband.

    Hey cheers Tim, not at all mate, your one of the few over at AGGH who knows what this thing can do :D Thanks Java, i`m finding that i prefer a mix of Mic settings, the R121 is the standout for me but it sounds great mixed with the "none" setting too. Cheers for clearing that up.

    Hell Aint abad place to be

    Thanks a lot for the kind words :D I`ll upload the preset`s onto the exchange later, i used a couple of different patches, using the JCM 800 and the Plexi2 model. I used the Mono Hires 4x12 20watter with the R121, along with the old stereo cab config with a Cali on one side...

    Just another ACDC clip, trying to get that pissed of snarling Marshall sound here. Again usuall disclaimer, i`m only messing around into garageband and having latency issues, makes it hard to put a track together but i did my best :D http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplaye ...

    Some AC-DC

    Thanks mate :D i think i need to add some midrange snarl if i can dial that in, i`m messing around with a couple of different cab sims also to see if that gets me closer. Really digging the mono Hi-Res mix of the 4x12 25watters and the 4x12 30watters.

    Hi Steve, Thanks mate :D i`m a total recoding newb so have a lot o learn in that regard, trying to tweak here to get a more authentic ACDC tone, 6.0 is sounding just amazing here, will try and put that to use in a re hash of this clip. I`m in Goomalling which is about 90mins east...
