Axe-Fest East – Boston Amp Show - April 27-28

[effulgent]

Just wondering, why is everyone playing the AX8 and not the FM3 at this event?

I haven’t seen an ax8 anywhere at the show, just axe iii and the fm3

No one was playing an AX8. Everyone played the Axe-Fx III and FC-12.

No live jam ? I would love to see that (and play if I could make it there, sigh...) !

I’ll make a video tomorrow, it’s pretty stable; got to meet the programmer and pick his brain for a while — I’m really excited to get one

Did anyone actually get to play through the FM3 at all or was it just there for display?

We’ve been playing it, it’s phenomenal

Dweezil has such great presence and is very friendly and open. I asked Dweezil if he thought his dad would have embraced digital modelers like the AxeFx III and he felt very strongly that he (FZ) would have. He told us about a recording that Frank made playing through a (Roland?) GP-8. I don’t recall the song. I’m glad I got to catch some of his presentation.

Sorry.....I'm a newb. Was thinking those were the AX8 floorboards. Still surprised that they weren't demoing the newest piece of gear, but maybe it wasn't ready in time.

How many people would have had the time to set up patches for playing in front of a room full of Fractal addicts?

Heard your question on live feed.

Great question and great reply!

Thanks Unix-guy! How does one access the feed? I’d like to see what I missed of Dweezil’s presentation. I’d also love to see Marco Fantons presentation. I was caught in traffic on the Massachusetts Pike and arrived very late.

Search for the Fractal Audio page on Facebook. The live sessions are now posted as videos.

Marco was great and so was Andy Wood (who I've never really heard before).

Oh, and Johnny A. was very nice, too.

Here's a link to the page:

The FM3 was available to play in another room and all the artist played in the main room on the Axe-Fx III.

Enjoy it!

I'll be spending all day driving home from Oregon to California
