Greetings, first post here. I'm on the fence and about to pull the trigger on an Axe Fx III mk 2, but figured I'd post about my (kind of) unique situation.
I'm unable to find literally any information about this anywhere online, which leads me to believe that I'm in the minority of people...
Hey everyone! 1980s... what an iconic and inspiring era of music that was! Whitesnake's Is This Love is one of my favorite songs of all times. In this quick cover video, I am taking you back in time, where every single note mattered back then! Enjoy!
Hey all! I just recorded a cool very melodic improvisation over an amazing 6/8 power ballad backing track. Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did!
Hey all! Recorded a cool new melodic blues guitar solo with my Kiesel Delos strat and my sweet Axe-Fx 3. This tone is so addictive man! Any smooth blues fans here?
I'm new to AXE FX III and am looking for some guidance. I've been following the artist ZEP for a while and he has some really cool bass & guitar sounds and was wondering if anyone could help me recreate some of the sounds he uses in his music. I'm not allowed to post links since my account is...
Could anyone help me figure out how to connect my FM3 to GGD's Goldstack cab simulator? I use it in standalone mode, connected directly to the FM3 interface via USB.
This is for Stel Andre's contest, I had tons of fun recording it. Some melodies, a lot of bends, a bit of shred...basically a bit of everything. I followed my insticts and recorded pretty much the first things that came to mind, without overthinking it and searching for the "best solo possible"...
If Whitesnake would call me to join them, then this is what I would sound like! lol :D Hope y'all like it.
Using my Axe Fx 3 as my time machine to get me back to the cool 80s!
Hi, I have a question about the body on the Majesty. I find the shape is really interesting and I’m just wondering about the sides and the bevels…I know the bottom side of the guitar seems somewhat normal thickness but the top side is really thin. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the...
I have large hands and I need space for playing on my guitars. That's why I made these mods:
Stratocaster: Knobs/switch height
Telecaster: Switch position and bridge, replaced pickguard
PRS: Volume knob position, humbucker covers
Les Paul: Greeny Mod for neck pickup, removed pickguard...
I just love 80s style Synthwave with epic guitar or sax solos. So here's a nice solo I played earlied with my Axe-Fx 3 and my colorshift Kiesel Aries. Enjoy!
I'm trying to set up a preset that emulates my real pedal board which includes drive and modulation pedals but otherwise produces a clean guitar sound when plugged into an amp and none of those drives are activated. Anyone have any recommendations for amps and cabs in the AX8 that have a clean...
Hey everyone! Hope you are all well! Got a new guitar from Kiesel, this amazing Kiesel Delos. The tone, combined with my Axe-Fx 3 is just divine!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Anyone using a Mono dual guitar case with a Floyd Rose guitar?? Curious as to how well your guitar stays in tune during transport. My most gigged axes are a Gibson Les Paul Classic and a Jackson Soloist with an OFR. I’d love to cut down on cases, but don’t want to risk having to balance the...
Hey all! I'm back with another video of my viral series "Emotional Melodic Guitar Solo"! This is my 6th installation and I really hope you guys like it. Key ingredient again this time, Melody. What else! Loads of it. Check it out :)
Hey all! Recorded a melodic blues solo in Em last night and thought I should share it with ya.
Few words about this one. Went slow and easy on it. Reason is that I am practicing a bit of my control lately. Mainly my pick dynamics, my guitar tone dynamic range and how to learn to use my volume...
My band's single is released (album due early 2023)
all guitars are axe FX 3 -deliverance d60 more and archon- with Leon Todd's Lt TV mix 7 ir (special thx to the man @2112 you rule).
Enjoy and merry Xmas + happy new year to everyone! 🎄🎁🎅...
Bought this a few weeks ago to mess with. It’s actually built really well for an import guitar and has some nice spec choices: stainless steel frets and compound radius. Only $400 too. Worth a try and a great platform for modding.
Hi all, does anyone have the Carvin VLD1 drive and use it on the ax8 using the FXloop block and use it as the amp and cab sim?
If so, how did you do it?
Thanks
this suggests a potentially interesting new feature: the ability to set up guitar input profiles customized for each guitar that would adjust impedance, volume boost/cut, maybe EQ, and possibly compression to get each guitar to a similar place to work well with stock presets.
so I’d use my...
Using Stereo amps 5153 blue and AC20. Just using the guitar to get clean and dirty tones. Guitar has Brandonwound 59's that are unpotted. Guitar is MIJ Stat wired vol,vol,tone. Bass tones are the SVT amp model. Preset downloads in YT video description.
All,
For my project studio at home, I run Logic Pro X with Axe FX III as my main audio user interface for the sake of simplicity. I'm able to record guitars, synths, re-amp guitars, etc. with no problem. What I'd like to do is process previously recorded audio with outboard gear (for example...
I run my Axe Fx 3 through my Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro's primarily. I also have HS8's when possible. Guitar is Schecter Hellraiser.
Facing a few issues:
Volume is low on both studio headphones and speakers
Metal presets sound good on studio monitors but are unusable with studio headphones...
What's up again everybody!
I made another video discussing the upgrades I did to my EC-1000 that I posted about a few months ago now. If you want to jump straight to the sounds, you can skip to 3:50.
The short version: I installed some Gotoh locking tuners, the EMG 57/66 TW set, and a side...
Greetings again everyone,
I made another demo video a bit ago on my Schecter Nick Johnston USA (one of the earlier ones) but then immediately had some car troubles so I forgot to share it here. This is a really cool guitar and is/was one of the first modern Strat-style guitars I enjoyed, even...
Some time ago I asked here for some colour suggestions for a guitar I was building for myself as part of an apprenticeship with a friend.
Here it is completed!
The first variation of the Eos model, by Rui Silva Guitars (the idea is to have different configurations on the same shape with this...
While technically I've had the guitar for a week or so, I just finished my demo/review so I figured I'd share it with you all. The tune this time is more for the heavy crowd, even though that's not been the main thing I've been trying to write these days.
It's a pretty solid guitar with a cool...
My bass player and I are looking into using the Axe for live sets.
I have 4 main patches I use with the bass patch the same in each preset.
On occasion, I change presets which gets a cut in the bass audio and my guitar. I time my changes so that my sound does not get altered. The bass does not...
I'm building a custom guitar as part of an apprenticeship, and I'm coming to the phase where I need to decide on a finish for the body (neck will be natural wood).
We're leaning towards something metallic, or metallic but a bit translucent with the wood texture coming through, tell me your...
Hi guys,

currently im looking at Balaguer - thinking of ordering a custom 27" baritone to use for Drop A, 6 string....

Hey guys! Hope all is well with y’all.
Been using the Axe FX III extensively in the studio for processing guitars, bass, and synths, and wanted to share “Rerun,” which we used the Axe all over (Hofner bass in the verse, Fender Mustang & Godin Session in the choruses, DSI Prophet ‘08 in the...
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Forum, so hoping I'm posting this in the right place :) Using AX8 at the moment, but will eventually upgrade to the AXE-FX III.
Looking to see if anyone has or can suggest a Lead Guitar patch for Bad Horsie / Steve Vai (and Rhythm if there is one)?
I'm a guitar player...
I thought here would’ve a good place to share my entry. If you wanna participate, you can do so by following the instructions on the Kiesel Guitars Solo Contest 2019 Facebook page. Hope you enjoy it
Hi everyone!
Here's a little tune I came up with today while watching "Full Metal Jacket" for the xxx time :)
My Ibanez Premium "Custom" and Axe Fx 2 straight into Logic X pro.
Hope You gonna like it :)
Cheers!
After almost 2 months off, these are the first notes I managed to make today 🙏 More than anything else it was an outlet, sorry ...
Here I used my Doug Aldrich preset for Fractal Audio AxeFx2.
I tried to do my best with guitar sound of "Red Barchetta" of Rush..
I saw some tips here in the forum that helped me a lot.
but when I finished, I was very curious to know what the Bass sound would look like in the AXE III.
I confess that I'm not a good bass player. but I tried hard..
And yes...
hi
I tried to make a simple example using the AXEIII with three instruments at the same time.
I used a factory preset from solo Synth ( 246 funky synth) and added ampeg svt for the bass guitar and the Bandmaster for rhythm guitar.
All instruments with yours inputs and outputs.
Some reverb...
I need help getting a good bass tone for modern metal like periphery. Can anyone suggest some good presets, IRs, settings to help me out? Much appreciated :)
Hi everybody!
Here's one original little tune I came up with last night during my Insomnia episodes. No distortion this time!
And hopefully, it's gonna turn in proper full length instrumental one day :)
Axe Fx 2 and Guthrie Govan Charvel straight into Logic.
Hi guys,
Here's my version of Paganini's 24th Caprice. I mixed my own variations with some of the original violin ones.
Axe Fx 2 and YJM Fender Stratocaster into Logic - Lot of fun!
Hey all, back at it again with some more modern metal music!
In terms of production, this song is similar to the last song except for a couple of things: This one has EQ and Compression on most of the tracks (Drums, Guitars, Bass, Vox, etc.) I've slowly learned how to apply this to make a mix a...
Hi people!
I released an entirely self-produced instrumental album in March and I`m sure some people in here might have some fun listening to it. It got loads of melodies with shreddy moments, all wrapped up in a futuristic and post-apocalyptic sounding environment..... Pretty happy how it...
I've been contemplating going wireless for a while now. First I wanted to hear from some people who have changed already to see if it was worth it to them. I play 2 times a week in an environment that it would be helpful. I'm specifically looking at the Shure GLXD14R but I'm open to suggestions...
Hi Everyone!
Here's my take on this super awesome solo!
Using Fractal Audio Axe Fx 2, with "ML Sound Lab" factory cabs in stereo:
(4x12 USA TRAD 57-121 left)
(4x12 USA TRAD 906-421 right)
BTW, entering ML Sound Lab competition as well, for a chance to win some awesome cab packs :)

Does this always default to none? How do you guys run yours? I'm not really finding much info on this. I'm using a Friedman Be VI with a 4x12 Fractal GB M160. Any advice on that one in particular?
Hi guys,

Like last year, I'm making a Guitar Advent Calendar for 2017, uploading a new video every day until christmas, playing 24 different christmas/advent/winter songs on 24 different guitars (or similar stringed instruments..), all recorded directly through my AX8. Here's a link to the playlist; a...
My humble tribute to the immense Ronnie James Dio. One of my favorite singers. In this video I used my #HolyDiver Patch. Unfortunately the quality of the base is not the best.
I hope you enjoy and do not forget to ***SUBSCRIBE!!!***
Hi Guys,
Not much of a poster on here as you can see lol. Had my Axe FX 2 for about 4 years I suspect though.
Anyway here is a little composition featuring the Fractal, a Tom Anderson & Suhr. Think it was Quantum 8ish.
Thanks,
Mike
I was so much mesmerized by this exceptionally beautiful composition, that, back in the day, I formed and named a band, 'Terminal Frost'.
Gives me goose bumps, each time I hear Mr. David Gilmour play such a fervent solo!
Please feel free to comment, like, share and subscribe to my channel...
Hey guys, here's a tough thumping riff I made for my E.P.
Split coil really helps with the Fryette D60 as well as some multiband compression!
Let me know what you think! How have you made a similar tone?
Hi Folks!
Since I always share here some covers, here's, for a change, one of my original instrumental songs I wrote some 5 years ago, and just found some video shots for it, shooted also while ago, so I decided to compile quick video for it :)
It's recorded with Axe Fx of course, so, hope You...
Hi guys!
I have just finished recording my latest tune, which is a hybrid of prog rock and classical music. Featuring fretless guitar and bass, a full orchestra, and a LinnStrument.
All guitar & bass is axe fx, each using far field IRs I captured myself.
It was certainly fun to make. I hope...
