    PRS Silver Sky Comparison: USA vs SE

    Hey everyone! I said I was going to make this video a while ago, but just got the courage to get started with it early November and even then it took a while to finish. I tried to provide a variety of sound examples that would highlight the differences between the two (or lack thereof for the...

    Ibanez JEM7VP vs Ibanez PIA3761

    Hello again everybody! This time, I tried my hand at comparing these two Ibanez Steve Vai signatures. Both guitars are pretty cool, even though I haven't gotten along with very many Ibanez guitars in the past. @York Audio IRs on everything, as usual. Axe Fx 3 on all the tones of course. I...

    Is the Axe-Fx worth $450,000?

    Is the AxeFX worth $450,000? Probably not to you and me--there's only one person insane enough to buy 129 amps ;) But maybe take the three amps you use the most and see what amount that adds up to and compare it to what you paid for the AxeFX!

    Axe-Fx 3 Cleans much better than Axe-Fx 2? Comparison/opinion about.

    I'm an AxeFx2 owner and i just saw some videos on youtube demonstrating new AxeFx3 clean sounds (almost all fender amps). I felt impressed, they seems to sound really much better than those in AxeFx2. Is it only a sensation of mine or there has been that great improvement i felt about? I'm...

    Diezel Herbert vs Diezel VH4 shootout

    There are couple videos on youtube comparing these two amps, I didn't like the way they sounded so I decided to record my own. Both amps recorded exactly the same way, with volume that I would typically use when playing with band.

    Don't take the Axe-Fx III for granted! (Tried Line6 Helix)

    I talked myself out of writing this thread a couple of times but then thought it could bring some sense or realism to this forum so let's do it. I just hope this doesn't become "one of those threads". Let's try and keep things civilized and honest. I've been on this forum since the Axe-Fx...

    How can I brighten and make my fx3 presets crisper and closer to the amp I’m modeling ?

    I have a Tubemeister36 next to the fractal fx3/xitone and I’ve been trying many presets and twisting many knobs and I just can’t get the amp to sound like the original amp. I notice the same thing with my 72 vibrolux. I can get closer with the vibrolux but there’s still something missing. I am...

    Fractal vs UAD Amp Emulation - Friedman DIRTY SHIRLEY

    Very often I am asked this question "which one is better"? I made this video with emulation A and emulation B by Friedman Dirty Shirley. I did not use my patch, I preferred to leave the basic settings. NO FX, only dry sound. Judge you, I love them and use them both. Same guitar, same amp, same...

    Video - Went geek deep into comparing the Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II

    So I wanted to play through the Axe-Fx III and the Axe-Fx II with quick switching to really compare the playability and feel side by side and came up with this preset that allows me to do so. Here's a video of me comparing some amps and different settings. The end result was that "maybe" the...

    AFIII VIDEO: Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II - Comparing the amp block

    Day two with the Axe-Fx III. The first requests were all about creating a fair comparison between the III and the II. I didn't really expect there to be any difference at this point because there hasn't been many advances in the firmware yet but here's a video that's fair. FAIR = same IR, same...

    Guitar Pickups Don't Matter?

    Check this video! This topic gets mixed opinions but I felt like sharing my attempt of once again replacing stock pickups in one of my guitars. Granted most of my guitars are premium instruments so the stock pickups are usually good to begin with but I've had everything from Ibanez to Squier in...

    Axe FX amp model comparisons Vol.1: Mesa Boogie MK series (video inside)

    Hi guys, I thought it would be fun to make a new video series for my Sonic Drive Studio's YouTube channel in which we compare Axe FX amp models of similar voicing. Now, these comparisons aren't meant to be very scientific but they'll give you a good idea of the similarities and differences...

    GetGood Drums snare comparison + ML Bulb Zilla + Darkglass

    My good buddy Nolly and the guys from Periphery just released GetGood Drums and their first product The Matt Halpern Signature Pack. I was playing around with the pack and it's exactly what I was hoping it'd be. All the snares are incredibly punchy and well tuned. I have to say that I've been...

    Is Axe Fx Viable?

    I have heard from people like Ola Englund that the Axe Fx isn't as good as real amps. But isn't tone really subjective? Personally I think that Periphery has some of the best sounding guitar tones that I've heard on an album. I haven't bad much experience with real tube amps but I really do like...

    AFX Standard versus the AX8

    Hey guys! This is AX8 related (promise) but requires a bit of preamble... So about 6 months ago I got my hands on an O.G. Axe Fx Standard and ever since I haven't been able to get along with it. The gainy-er amps tend to sound dark and lack that high-end air and clarity which I love for high...
