Axe-FX clip - clarity and definition under gain

Hi guys,

I'm recording a friend's band (mostly commercial American rock in a similar vein to Alter Bridge) over the next few weeks, so I've done a few preliminary mixtests. I thought I'd share this one since it shows off how clear the Cold Sweats are under loads of gain.
I recorded this with my Blackmachine B6, with its pair of Cold Sweats, though only the bridge pickup is used here. I ran it through my Fractal Audio Axe-FX Ultra, using the Mesa/Boogie Mark IV and Diezel VH4 patches through the 4x12 German and V30 cabs. Excuse the naff sounding "bass", it's actually my guitar pitchshifted down an octave. The real recordings will have real bass on them. The guitars are quad-tracked.

You can listen to and download the clip here:

Hope you enjoy it!

gchirag what do you mean by "Tone is nice but tracking is not because it sounds over done."?

Little confused by that.
 
Cheers Dez!

Me too. To be fair, tracking was done in a rather slapdash manner, but the aim was to get a really OTT sound.

It's a great pickup, I imagine you'll find it's worth the wait!
