Everything's sounding better to my ears in FW. 24.00 so I've updated a personal favourite with some level tweaks and a delay change.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas. See you on the other side (of it).

Prompted by Dave Merrill's quest for the same, I've strapped this Strat Leads II patch together for fun. It was a good opportunity to create some different tone textures and test-drive a couple of newly acquired Vintera II Strats. The videos will tell the story. Requires FW: 23.00 beta 1 or...

Got this today at a local shop Fender Aerodyne Special Stratocaster in Speed Green Metallic, made in Japan. It was not the guitar I was planning on getting, but I just could not say no... Looks, feels, sounds, plays amazing.
I also learned today I have been trying to make my telecaster sound...
Yep. Lucky me, eh? There are six of their newbie axes stacked up here. I shot the '61 OW Strat today and wrote a reasonably period-correct preset to suit the video (below). Have a crack at it if you're interested. The '57's up next. I'll run the same preset for that one...
I've been on a bit of a bender lately, trying to concentrate as many of my favourite factory tones along with my own combos and effect choices into a single preset. It's good fun. The band I play with is heading out in a couple of weeks for two-three months and I want a preset that will...
Yesterday I put up a demo/review of the 2022 Charvel Pro-Mod Platinum Pearl HSS HT. As usual I wrote a preset to suit the subject and there were a few comments from people wanting to know more, and could I share it, please? So, here 'tis.

A couple of classic amps, some classic stomps, a little speaker compression here and there... If you're a fan of their respective styles I hope you can enjoy this one. Tweak to taste, etc. Cheers.

So everyone's posting these Jazzmaster Acoustasonics today all over YouTube.... What do you guys think??

Yesterday I put up a new preset for the Axe-FX III called 'Burg's Dumbles V2'. I didn't want to leave out FM3 owners so I've ported that preset over and streamlined it a little to suit the FM3. There's some FM3 exclusive stuff in there as well - stuff that wasn't included in the Axe-FX III...

A nice lovely surf guitar song.

Hi everybody,
Here's one little jam over one of the awesome Elevated Jam backing tracks.
Used my Fender Stratocaster YJM and Fractal Audio Axe Fx 2 straight to Logic X Pro.
After owning the Axe Fx II and now the III, I realized I never actually explored all the cool amps we have, so I decided start exploring them. I am going through all the amps, starting from the very top with the Fender 5F Tweeds. Anyone have any cool tricks on using the tweeds?
Hi there!
Here's the first recording I ever made with my AX8.
Recorded at my home studio last year (2018). I'm playing a HSS Fender Strat loaded with a JB in the bridge and Kinmans in the middle and neck.

Just a little track I put together a few months ago.

This is a modified Scene 3 from my 'Fenders...' preset suite. I've tweaked it for the Johnny Marr Jag which has pretty low output pickups so you may need to back off the Input Drive if your guitar is hotter. I wrote it for a little improv piece that can be viewed below. I won't lie: I was in a...
Yesterday's 'cleans' demo/preset was so much fun I thought I should up the ante a little and move on to some medium gain. This preset also features 8 Scenes but with 8 different amp/cab pairings. Use it, abuse it and make it yours. I've called this one 'Midtown'.

Trying to create a single preset that encompasses most of the tones MMJ uses. So far I got the clean tone down: Clean Fender type amp, Delay and reverb obviously, maybe a compressor.
It's the dirty sounds I struggle with. I'd like to just add a drive pedal into the preset to get the dirty...

I'd like a combo amp 1x12 or 2x12 (stereo preferred) and I've been considering the Katana 100, older Fender Mustang III/IV, or maybe even one of the Blackstar ID core 100/150 (since they have stereo effects loops) or the ID260TVP. I used to own a Mustang IV and it has a stereo effects loop and...
I just picked up this 2003 Korean Fender Showmaster, and absolutely love it! But I can find very limited information on specs on it. I do know it was fenders last shot at a superstrat before acquiring Charvel and Jackson. I can find most specs from older reverb posts, but nowhere on what pick up...

This is a very raw and clean demonstration of what these combos sound like straight out of the box. It's 100% unprocessed with my Stratocaster (neck pickup on the left and bridge pickup on the right) and the IR's doing their thing with pretty much default amp settings on the Axe-Fx. Enjoy!

Came up with something different for me while trying out the new Fender Tweed Deluxe IRs from ML Sound Lab.

This idea came together better than I expected, I might keep it...
I've been keeping it "real" with these past clips and recording the first thing that the sound inspires me to write. This time I wrote the happiest song I've done in years and I think it's because of the juicy and sweet attack of the "Prince Tone" sound.
