AX8 vs Amps & Plugins

[2112]

A few amps (plus the X-Load), a few AX8 models and a few plugins. One riff. What's your favourite ?

Many sounds are great but i choose Mesa Dual Rectifier 3CH. For closer result with AX8 you could use AX8 Recto 2 Red, because Recto 1 sim is based on 2CH rectos. But that's just a tiny detail, doesn't matter. Great video overall, thanks!!

Hey Leon, do you wanna buy a 2 channel rev f dual rec? I think you need one to compare with the fas model

I have a 2 channel rev G that's holed up in the studio we're tracking at, but I did this a while ago with it

Big logos are so mainstream.. if you change your mind I'm only in Melbourne. I could meet you in Adelaide?

Btw, I got myself an sc245 last week! Wow, What an axe!! I can see why you seem to have it in your hands for so many videos!

I bet those two make a mighty noise! The sc245 is an addictive guitar

I don't get that 245 addiction, the PRS 25"scale length is the bees knees

I like having both, with a 24.594 thrown in for good measure
Not sure which I like best, depends on what I'm playing. I know that 25.5 is not for me.

I'll take one of each thanks

And to finally comment on your video - it's incredible how close they all are in the mix context. I was expecting the differences to be more dramatic. Did you use the same IR across all amp groups?

Same IR, which kind of goes to show how important the IR really is
