    The Pop Tart thread

    The fact, that the AxeFX is not the only top of the line modeller anymore (it has to share the spot with the Kemper now) makes you so nervous, that you act like kids? You must be very worried! Why does the mod just closes the thread and you are fine again.

    The Pop Tart thread

    Relax people! Nobody ist taking your AxeFx away. In order to to enjoy a Kemper you have to be open minded at first. I am always reading something about the look of the amp. Yes - it looks odd when you see it the first time. But if somebody would offer me a rack version, I wouldn't swap. I...

    Kemper Profiling Amplifier

    Whatever people think about the Kemper. One fact is is sure: There was no competition to to the AxeFX before. Now, finally there is a competition (alternative choice), even though both are different devices with different aproaches for different musicians. That's great. It will bring more life...

    Kemper Profiling Amplifier

    This funny looking lunchbox sounds great and you don't have to tweak for hours. The concept is totally different. I owned an AxeFx and didn't like it because it took so much time dialing in the right sound. In fact I never got to the right sound out of it. I am after blues rock sounds not fusion...

    The new MATRIX GT800FX. THE amp for THE Axe-Fx

    Hi everybody! As a non AxeFx user, I still read the forum from time to time. While I was looking for a light weight power amp for my PodHD500, I found this thread about the GT800FX. Here is my story: I while ago, I bought a AxeFX Standard, tested it very intense with all kinds of amps and...

    Ich hab's weggegeben Teil 2

    Das sind aber anscheinend nicht viele hier. Denn die etwas zynischen mit einem verachtenden, beleidigten Unterton angereicherten und mit entsprechenden Icons versehenen Antworten sprechen eine deutliche Sprache. Aber das liebe ich ja so an diesen Frevel-Threads! Jetzt kommt es ganz dicke...

    Ich hab's weggegeben Teil 2

    Nee - die nicht! Aber der Hersteller oder der Vertrieb. Da war sogar zu lesen: "...besser als ein echter Röhrenamp...". Da fühle ich mich dann doch ein bischen verarscht.

    Ich hab's weggegeben Teil 2

    Da ich grundsätzlich an einer Lösung, wie es das AxeFX darstellt interessiert bin, schaue ich von Zeit zu Zeit mal hier ins Forum, um zu sehen, was sich in der Zwischenzeit so getan hat. So habe ich vor einiger Zeit mal danach gefragt, ob jemand mit dem Gerät überzeugende Bluesrock Sounds...

    Ich hab's weggegeben Teil 2

    Leute, das ist ein echtes Armutszeugnis!! Da äußert sich jemand zu eurem Heiligtum und ist nicht so angetan von eurem Fetisch, schon kommt eine Salve Entrüstung und Verhöhnung zurück und am Ende wird der Thread auch noch geschlossen, damit wohl Leute wie ich, sich nicht mehr der Meinung des...

    Classic Rock / Blues Rock Sounds

    Not bad at all. But if you compare it with the real thing it's still sounds compressed to me. A bit artificial. If you listen to the attack of this example for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWp-Mazmf88&playnext=1&videos=H5zcnbo5nh8&feature=rec-LGOUT-exp_fresh%2Bdiv-1r-6-HM Sure it...

    Classic Rock / Blues Rock Sounds

    That's a perfect example. I went to see a concert with Markus last winter in Neuss. Go Music Session with a female singer (forgot the name). I was a little disapointed by his sound. He is a good player though. It was nice, but not really cutting through. The dynamic punch and liveliness of a...

    Classic Rock / Blues Rock Sounds

    I did heavy research on clips, opinions, statements so far. But there seems to be no serious professional player around in the style of the ones I named who uses an AxeFX. The only ones are those fusion or heavy player in the style of Petrucci, Vai, Friedman, Mitchel. They are very competent and...

    Classic Rock / Blues Rock Sounds

    The AxeFx is a good tool for heavy rock and fusion rock sounds. The effects are very good. But there seems to be no AxeFx user out there in the line of well known blues, blues rock players. All the artists who support the AxeFx are from the heavy or fusion route. There is no demo with a...

    Six months on with the AFX (and Verve 12ma)

    I really hear you. I made the same experience. I tweaked for 3 weeks 5 hours a day and I am finally back to a real amp. Nice to hear, that I am not alone. I thought already, something is wrong with me. :D I am free again and my amp sounds better than before. I miss the good effect of the Axe...

    Can someone replicate this tone?

    Before you sell your amp you really should get the Axe for testing. You will need a whole lot of time. I mean really long time. It took me 3 weeks 5 hours a day. Didn't get what I want. People told me, that 3 weeks dialing tones is not enough. If you go by what they say, better calculate 1 year...

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    Would you post a clip of your sound? Play a few phrases also on the low E- and A- String in your sample. I am excited to hear it.

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    I will give it a try. But I'll take a break for now. The Axe is already sent back. But a friend still has one he could borrow me. Like I said, I am still interested, but I refused the FRFR solution from the beginning on, because of the statements about the missing amp feel and the another reason...

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    Tomorrow I will get some active pa speaker for rehearsal. I am going to buy 2 LD Systems Revolver 15A. It's actually ment for the singer. Maybe even for small clubs. If I get a chance to try the axe with it, I will give it at try. It's still here and waiting for the pickup back to G66. Maybe the...

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    :lol: You make me laugh. Hey - I mean 3 weeks 5 hours a day and still not the right sound? Come on! Something must be wrong with the usability of this thing. If I wait till next year to get my sound out of this box, my version of the Axe is probably outdated by then. I bet. That's why I just...

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    I posted this thread a couple of days ago, but it disappeared for some reason. I stated that there are no good blues rock sounds possible with the Axe. My combination was AxeFX Standard > SS power amp (350 Watt per side) > 1 1xEL12L Thiele cab and 1 1x12 V30 Thiele cab. I got a few answers with...

    Axe Poweramp/Cab sounds quite cold with no punch

    Back after testing a while. Checked out a Engl 2/50 power amp. Sounds very powerful but I lost the possibility of using the power amp sims of the Axe. With it engaged it wasn't so great. Without it needs a lot of loudness to start working right. Switched back to my good old Samson and changed...

    Axe Poweramp/Cab sounds quite cold with no punch

    Great forum here! Thanks for your response. Same with me. That seems to be the problem. The biggest step - to get rid of old habbits. Didn't mean to. Yes - but shouldn't it sound good on lower levels? I will get a SLA-2 to check. And I will stop comparing for a while. When I buy a new tube...

    Axe Poweramp/Cab sounds quite cold with no punch

    The amp is low quality for sure. But I didn't want to buy a lot of equipment just to realize afterwards that it is not my thing. I just didn't think that there is such a big different between solid state poweramps in general. The Art SLA-2 is also a low budget product at least when I look at the...

    Axe Poweramp/Cab sounds quite cold with no punch

    I agree! For the Axe I to change the way of thinking (hearing). I really want to convert to this way and I hope I can. It is a 30 year habbit now and hard to change. Yes. People are saying they don't feel the latency. I really do feel it. Maybe this is a reason for the impression of the...

    Axe Poweramp/Cab sounds quite cold with no punch

    Hi, I am using the following equipment: Samson Servo 260 SS poweramp into 2 1x12 Thiele cabs loaded with EV12L My problem: Whatever tone I dial in, it always sounds a bit cold and thin in comparison to a real tube ampb. It sure is very transparent but for my opinion allmost too much. It lacks...
