    At Venue with Soundguy: What reactions have you had regarding stereo setup?

    Tyler, Typically yes, most venues/soundmen have a couple of D.I.'s for Bass and/or keyboards for example, but I think it's always good to C.Y.A. (cover your ass) in the event that the sound-person brings two (2) D.I.-boxes...one for keys...one for bass...and NONE for your guitar-lines to...

    At Venue with Soundguy: What reactions have you had regarding stereo setup?

    Sterotomy...we can make it together! Hi Tyler, When you tell yek "you may be limiting yourself," IDEALLY, there is probably some truth to what you are saying. However, I'm pretty sure yek/Axexander is well aware of the pros & cons/limitations-vs-benefits of mono-vs-stereo rigs at the...

    Guys, If I'm not mistaken, Tom has (very recently) settled on the: Axe-FX II-->Matrix GT1000FX-->Port City 2X12 Cabs (POWER-SIMS=ON; CAB-SIMS=OFF.) I could be wrong though? Bill

    Matrix GT800fx v GT1000fx - review + vids

    Hi Trazan, I REALLY appreciate that informative explanation. Thank you so much! I'll have to give this some thought, and of course if I end up with a new amp (such as a Matrix GT1000FX) I will do the necessary preset & global gain-staging. Thanks again...and yes you "made sense!" Bill

    Axe-FX II: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Coldshot

    Tyler, I think you did an excellent job. That said, I do sort of agree with schlagdog not so much as your "Cold Shot" attempt, but just the Rotary-block in general? I can NOT get the Rotary-block/Leslie-sim to sound like any of the iconic Leslie-sounds I grew up listening to? If I...

    Welcome Phil Collen of Def Leppard to the Fractal Audio Artist Roster

    Funeral, Not sure who your rant was directed at, but in defense of MY statement, I was defending Joe Elliot (indirectly) by explaining that the way he use to sing back in the 80's put a tremendous strain in his vocals/throat. I actually met Phil Collen (back in '02) and he was a super-cool...

    Welcome Phil Collen of Def Leppard to the Fractal Audio Artist Roster

    Steve, Actually singing like that is pretty easy on the voice...Singing the way he did on the original LP's back-in-the-day...Now THAT is HARD on one's voice - LOL! ...But I knew what you meant! Bill

    Using the AXE-FX II with the 4 cable method. quality of effects Compared to Eventide?

    Good points! In fact, what you explained (about demoing with the amp-models, but then using the "real-amp" live, and the Axe-FX II as a high-end effects-processor) is something that John Petrucci does, correct?!? Bill

    Tone matching of my earlier amp videos... Diezel Einstein, Framus Cobra, Mesa Mark IV

    Hog Frappe... Guys, Feel free to take this "bro-mance" to "The Lounge" or via a "Private Message" the smell of cock-breath is frankly making me ill at this point - LOL! Bill

    Megadeth's Dave Mustaine officially joins the ranks of guitarists using the Axe-Fx II

    MegaFX... ...Also hard not to notice that his lead-guitarist (the amazing Chris Broderick) gets a great tone with it and is an incredibly intelligent and articulate guy (and player/musician.) I'm thinking that that one rainy day, Dave started asking Chris some very pointed questions about...

    A/B Test EVH 5153 vs. native model in V. 6.01

    Real deal... I guess it depends on which is considered the "real amp," but I knew what you meant - LOL! I've often thought that if you were not in the same room AND being the person playing it (feel) then I'd bet lots of/most people could be fooled! Bill

    Axe-Fx II Firmware Version 6.01 Up

    It's a small price to pay, right?!? If someone told me I could get all of these sounds, but I just had to deal with re-tweaking presets on most Firmware-updates, I'd take that all-day-long! - LOL! Bill

    Wow! Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Acoustic Tone From Heaven!

    No problem...Well done!!! Hey Pat, That's cool. Sounds like you had some bad experiences using a more modern (stripped down and less powerful) version of the Fishman Aura. That old Gen-1 version (which I own) KICKS ASS, and I dunno why Fishman ever got away from that design or...

    Wow! Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Acoustic Tone From Heaven!

    OK... Patzag, Tell us how you really feel about the Fishman Aura? - LOL! How long ago did you spend your 3 days with the Fishman Aura to determine how terrible it was (for you)? I ask because the product-line has changed quite a bit over the years, and there are so many...
