    Short Ver 5.01 recording using stock presets.

    Here is a clip I put together tonight. Drums are programmed with Superior Drummer 2.0, I used Euro Blue for the rhythm, Studio Lead for leads and Smilefans P-Bass patch. Http://soundcloud.com/porkchop-xpress/first-mix-1-003 Take 2 (new bass line)...

    Non-Tweaker's Delight; A Story of Stock Presets

    I will be the first to admit that I am not an advanced "tweaker". After owning an Ultra for 2 years and moving on to the Axe II in August, I feel very comfortable with the Axe-fx and how to manipulate it. I have been through every menu and advanced parameter and have tinkered with how those...

    A quick video clip of me noodling around...

    Just messing with the preset "Modulation Mayhem". I think it's preset 368 or something like that. Anyways, I just got a new iMac from my wife for Christmas, so I just learned how to record to video with it. The video is just a little mindless noodling.

    Seeking advice on humbuckers...

    I'm trying to decide between Wolfetone Dr. Vintage's, Lollar Imperials or WCR Godwood pickups to load my Guild Bluesbird with. Does anyone have experience with these and if so, how did they perform?

    A word on how different guitars and pickups interact with the Axe-Fx...

    After reading through many threads about topics relating to how presets and patches sound through different individuals setups, I thought it was worth reiterating how different guitars and pickups can have an extreme influence on the end tone. I have recently been using an Artist Series Eric...

    Got mine. Holy crap...

    Got my Axe II last night. I can't believe people are still comparing the Eleven Rack to this thing. It's even a major improvement from my beloved Ultra. I can't believe how good the factory presets sound. My only real gripe with when I received the Ultra in 2009 was the facory presets didn't...

    Another quick Ultra clip...

    Well, I didn't have much interest in the first clip I posted this week, but here is another clip anyways. SoundClick artist: Porkchop Xpress - Pentatonic Variation

    A quick Ultra recording...

    This is my assignment for one of my Berklee classes this week. It is a theme vs. variation improvisation exercise. We were required to stay in Em pentatonic. Just thought I would share. SoundClick artist: Porkchop Xpress - Theme vs. Variation Improv

    Two Years Gone

    My name is Dave and I'm a gearaholic. It's been two years since I last bought an amp or effect. I bought the Axe-Fx Ultra in April 2009 and it effectively put an end to my GAS (for all gear other than guitars). What an amazing piece of equipment. I have used the Ultra in live...

    The new James Tyler Variax

    Anyone else interested in these? I was talking about getting one of these for when I go to Korea for a year and my wife suprised me by preordering a tobacco sunburst JTV-59. I know Line 6 isn't the most popular brand in these parts, but this guitar looks pretty nice. Anyone else thinking...

    The end of my G.A.S.

    OK, I have been very hesitant to post my review of the Axe-fx Ultra because I wanted to make sure I was clearly out of the honeymoon phase. I feel like I am now ready to give my honest opinion on this black box of tone. A little background; I am a casual player. I have played the guitar for...

    Ver. 10.03 Marshall type tone clips

    I was playing around with the Marshall sims after I upgraded to 10.03. I think there are a few decent examples of picking dynamics and volume knob tweakage in these. There were just two aimless clips where I was just screwing around. I had to cut them in half to upload them into Soundclick...

    Freddy King - San-Ho-Zay

    Here is my take on a blues classic, San-Ho-Zay by Freddy King. The first chorus a as close to note for note that a hack like me can get and the second chorus is just me dicking around in the style. Hope it sounds OK. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... ID=9638949

    Mission Engineering SP-2R makes noise through All Access.

    I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this. My brand new Mission Engineering SP-2R makes static noise when I plug it into my Rocktron All Access. When plugged directly into the Axe it is perfect, but I wanted to run it through the MIDI controller to control fx parameters. I already tried...

    Acoustic clip

    This is me screwing around with the notch filter on my Taylor. I'm running Yek's Acoustic patch with the Mama Bear 7-7 IR direct into my Zoom H4. Please disregard the playing. I'm going to try to put together a song using the acoustic along with electrics sometime this week. Anyways, here's...

    Raca Appreciation Thread

    Raca's patches are amazing. I have been wowed by a lot that the Ultra is capable of since I got it, but loading Raca's patches into it brings my enjoyment to a whole new level. Great tweaking! I don't have to change a single parameter and these settings sound incredible. I find myself...

    expression pedal fuzzies

    A few new V9 clips...

    I had 30 minutes after updating to 9.00 to play around tonight. Here are a few clips I got on the fly. Please pay very little to the actual playing. (I've never played the star spangled banner before in my life) Anyways, a few clips. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... ID=8436008...

    I came home from work and it is my wife's Birthday. We had dinner and I mixed my wife a few drinks. I went down to my guitar dungeon to work on some of my Berklee class and there it was. In all it's glory, the Atomic Reactor FR! What a great surprise, I didn't think I would get a chance to...

    A couple more blues clips...

    Here is another assignment for my class tonight. Thought I would share. The Cm Melody is the required piece and the Improv is just some off the cuff stuff. The stipulation was that we needed to stay in 8th position of Cm Pentatonic or Blues scale. Staying in that box makes you really think...

    A quick sloppy PI Fuzz clip

    Hi everyone. I just updated the firmware, so I got a few minutes to check out the new drive pedals. WOW. The 808 sounds JUST LIKE the real deal. I took about 14 seconds to dial in this PI Fuzz, so please don't judge it or the playing too hard. I only had about 20 minute to screw with the...

    Vista 64-bit users, what MIDI interface are you using?

    Recorded a couple of new clips just nessing around...

    I was just flipping through presets tonight listening to the different sounds each and every one made. I'm a little surprised that so many people swear off the factory presets immediately. I did spend most of the day programming my own patches which is more exhausting, but well worth it. I do...

    Built my first patch...

    OK, so I've gotten to play with my Ultra about 4 times now and am becoming increasingly impressed. The parameters and capabilities are so deep you really have to dig into them to understand. I have a ton of clips that I recorded just from the presets, but last night I finally got a chance to...

    In two weeks...

    I will finally get to plug into the Ultra. It has been sitting at my Mother-in-law's house for the past three weeks. I am going to ship a guitar there so I have it ready the day I get there. I'm thinking the Les Paul is probably the one I'll ship. I am itching with anticipation and I think I...

    Tell me more about the delays and reverbs...

    Is self-oscillation possible with the delays and the reverbs? Can a good sounding analog/tape delay sound be had from the delays? If so, does anyone have any examples. Please give me a better idea of what the 40 tap delay is all about. I read the manual and wiki, but I don't think I...

    This is going to be torture...

    I'm moving from England back to the states in June. I just sold a bunch of equipment to buy the Ultra. I want to order it now, but I don't want to get it then ship it over to the states in a giant crate where it can get smashed. I could carry it with me, right? Well, I have three small kids...

    Has anyone concentrated on tweaking the effects?

    For instance, has anyone come up with a thru-zero flange or Bi-Phase? Stuff like that. Just trying to emulate pedals.

    Do I need a power conditioner?!?

    Hi, I am going to be buying an Ultra as soon as I sell a few of my pedals off. I have never owned any rack equipment, so I am venturing down a new path here. Anyways, my question is; Do I need a power conditioner? What are the benefits.
