I had a recording session today, we tracked 2 songs. I have worked with this engineer a few times on various projects but today was the first time I went direct during recording, I've always been a tube amp head, But I have spent as much time as possible playing through some nice cans and...
Have the 800w Matrix power amp, does the job well paired with my 1960A, however it caps out rather quickly (maxed out volume and limiter light on but not quite distorting the speaker). For anyone else I think its perfectly loud, but for my band which is essentially a high tech modern doom band...
This is just a hypothetical vague question, curious as to opinions on it. (By the way I know that the amp sims are great on the axe, I know that the digital converters are also great). I'm wondering if theoretically an ada conversion between a tube preamp and tube poweramp is more ''disruptive''...
Hello FM3'ers
Just got my FM3 and its great! Jumping from a FX8 so a bit of a learning curve. I was thinking about using it live with Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III. I am not a fan of FRFR's. The manual recommends using the effects return/ power amp in and disabling the power amp and speaker...
Hello guys, I still have my AX8 (Amazing Unit) and I’m waiting for the FM9 on the waitlist (that wait has been quiet long) While I wait I’d like to use my AX8 into a Mesa Mark V 25 head, the purpose is to use the AX8 (Effects section only: drives, modulation, filters, delays, etc no Amp and Cab...
My cousin asked me a few weeks ago to record some guitar tracks for a couple songs he's working on. I knew I wanted to use the FM3, but wasn't sure on how we were going to capture the sounds.
We had a rehearsal and I played through the FX loop of a 5150 and a Marshall cab and while it sounded...

Hey guys, freshie here.
I remember the mod of FractalAudio wrote a statement a while ago that "A power tube has a very flat frequency response and they all clip roughly the same. If you put a resistive dummy load on a tube power amp (assuming it doesn't have any intentional frequency shaping)...
Hey dudes an dudettes!
The Axe Fx III is the brain and centerpiece of my studio.
I use it for amp modeling a lot but it also functions as my main sound card device so I always record via USB.
Together with the LB-2 it works so well with my tube amps.
It's so easy to get great tones with my real...

I have for sale a Splawn Nitro amp head. 100 Watt. Excellent condition. Works perfectly and is an absolute MONSTER!! If you are looking at this, you KNOW what this amp is. I am asking $1399 & $85 shipping.
Splawn website say:
*All the Splawn tone with more saturation and voiced for a...
I was wondering if any of you have been in the situation where you go to gigs and there is tube amp already set up? Do you have your favorite/personal preset---just-in-case---ready to go w/o amps and/or cabs for those situations? or you just run the preset straight into the tube amp as they...
I wonder if anyone is having this issue with the AX8.
When I roll down the volume on my guitar on a distorted preset it is not naturally cleaning up like tube amps do.
I am not too sure if this has to do with the setting I have on my noise gate or if the AX8 does not simulate tube amps well...
Looking for some help to make the most of what I have or what I should get in place of what I have. I'm assuming many of you axe fx owners have come from tube amps that didn't get used like they should, for whatever reason. Please shed some light on this privileged issue for me, if you can.
I'm...
I need to ship a tube preamp and poweramp which has 16 new tubes from New York to Alaska and wondering the safest way to ship it, so nothing gets damaged. I will have to ship through USPS and I plan to insure it but want to make sure it's packaged correctly, so if USPS some how drops it, they...
Hey, hey my Fractal brothers.....
I thought I'd share my basic reaction & just plain shock as to how good the new FX8 is.....
My Fractal journey started not that long ago w/ the AX8......Here's a link to where I had my eyes opened by Fractal Audio & its killer community...
Hey there guys - short background for my question - I have never had any FAS unit, but I had both Kemper and Atomic Amplifire - first one for 1.5 year, and second one for two week testing period. I am pretty traditional in terms of my rig, and after using these two units I know that going direct...
Tryin' to use poweramp modeling with a tube power amp + real cab (with p.a. off it sound very well but it's not possible to obtain the poweramp overdrive except of turning up volume and damage my ears...), hoping to reduce the double compression (modeling plus real p.a.) tweaking randomly:
SAG...
(Disclaimer - Noob - first post)
I jus picked up an AxeFX II XL, MFC etc ... I want to run it front of my amp for bar gigs. I have experimented with disabling cab and power amp simulation, and still am not really satisfied with the preamp sounds. If I enable preamp and power amp sim, it sounds...
