AFIII Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine breakdown cover

Here's my little homage to Meshuggah's greatest metal breakdown. I pay tribute to their music and their nifty synced lighting. Friedman amp models everywhere for this one. :)

AFIII Dream Theater Pull Me Under solo - 5 different guitars

I did an experiment to see how much the wah impacts the guitar tone, regardless of the guitar used. So here are 5 guitars through my Dunlop JP Crybaby wah playing the Pull Me Under solo with the same amp settings on my Axe FX III (Friedman HBE V2). You decide. :)

AFIII Mission Impossible cover

Really happy to finish up a heavier cover of Mission Impossible. I used a Friedman and USA Lead for much of it, but the delays and verbs were where it really shined I think. Enjoy! :)

AFIII 2020 - new instrumental with Andy Wood on Axe 3

Just released this song today for some good metallic fun. I played all guitars through my Axe 3 and the incredible Andy Wood put a ripping solo in the middle on his Axe 3 as well. Hope this 2020 is better than the actual year. :). Enjoy!

Petrucci Majesty 7 Purple Nebula - review

I did a quick review of my new axe. This is the first Majesty I've ever owned and I'm quite pleased! And here's also some goofy fan art I made with it. :)

AFIII Heart - “Barracuda” cover video

I was finally able to do a proper recording of Barracuda with my singer and the trusty Axe III. We modernized it a bit, but we also love the original so much and tried to stay true to it at the same time. Hope you enjoy. Stay happy and healthy!

AFIII Van Halen “Jump” solo

I gave this one a whirl so yes, there are mistakes, but I'm willing to live with 'em because I learned from this little adventure. :) This was recorded on the USA IIC++ model as I was really trying to replicate the solo and its phrasing, not so much the tone. It was good fun!

AFIII 7 string tune with the Friedman HBE model

We are releasing our EP on Friday 11.29, so we dropped this lyrics video of an entire song in advance. All the guitars are my JP7 played through the Friedman HBE. It is a lyrics video, but I at least put some footage of the guitar and Axe3 in there. :) It goes without saying, but the Fractal...

Dynamic compression - best method for cleans?

What have you all found to be the best way to get your cleans compressed enough to stand out properly in a mix? Do you recommend one compressor in particular or the dynamics processor? If it's the dynamics processor, I don't know anything about that and could use some advice. Let me know your...

AFIII Testing a solo tone - USA IIC++

I watched @2112 (Leon's) video tips on creating a lead tone with the USA IIC++ and tried tweaking one for a live lead tone. This sounds good at my desk, but I'll have to hook up my rig and see what I can do once I am playing through the Matrix and Port City OS cab. But I think this will be...

A big thanks to Leon Todd (2112)!

Yes, I could have sent a message, but I wanted to publicly thank you because I know MANY of us feel this way and new Axe users need to know about your work. You have REALLY helped me save tons of time and learn so much about my Axe 3. I just wanted you to know that your videos and patches are...

AFIII Infinite Eve - 7 string rhythms

The amazing Eric Hill just remixed our first single, so I retracked the rhythm guitars for a nice chunky tone through my Axe 3. I keep tweaking, so this recording was during the evolution, but I like it for this tune. Hope you enjoy!

Our new single/video done with nothing but AX8!

We just released our new single along with the video. I used the AX8 for all the guitars! I just switched to the Axe FX 3, so this will be the only song using the AX8. But I loved it!

I downloaded some patches from the Axe Exchange and for whatever reason, the individual effects (in regular mode) or the individual scenes (in scene mode) will not show up on the main screen in the 8 blocks even though they exist when you look at it or edit it on Axe Edit. How can I get these...

I was inspired by seeing another guy's recent takes on this solo, so I just plugged and played with no real tweaking on the Eruption preset on my new Ultra. Obviously, the camera is just picking up the sound via its own mic. It's all coming through a couple of Event studio monitors. I'm slowly...
