AFIII "Rio" by Duran Duran video

Here's a video of "Rio" by Duran Duran that my 80's tribute band put together this summer. Audio here is recorded live from the video session. Axe-Fx III is handling the guitar and synth tones and I also used it to add a little re-amp to the bass as well.

Fractal Audio AxeFx 80's L.A. Preset

Hey friends! This preset is inspired by what was the sound of the guitars of many important productions of those years. The Los Angeles Sound that I adore immediately makes me think of greats of that period such as Michael Landau, Steve Lukather, Dann Huff, Michael Thompson, Tim Pierce and many...

My band's new single (All Axe-Fx II XL): Room For Zero - Too Bad [80s pop]

I see a lot of higher gain tones showcased here, but not a ton of pop / indie / alternative stuff. I thought this might be nice to show off here. All guitars are direct from the Axe II into my Antelope Discrete 8 via SPDIF. We usually use the Axe as an interface to record the parts + DIs...

Favorite underrated 80s riffs?

What's up dudes! I’ve had people requesting this video on my channel for quite some time, so I finally decided to do it! ;) I think there are loads of sick riffs from the 80s/early 90s that got little to no attention, so let’s give these guys some credit! These are just 5 among my favorites...
