Axe-Master
Saw the fantastic Pink Floyd cover band, Brit Floyd perform last night, and I recalled reading on here one of the guitarist had starting using an Axe-FX, Damian Darlington.
Sure enough, saw that familiar green glow from the Axe-Fx sitting stage right. Now, this was closest to where the other guitarist was standing all night. Now mind you, I had no clue which guitarist was which as I never have seen any pictures of them before. So I spent the whole show thinking that the guy on the right, now known to be Bobby, was the one using the Axe-Fx.
I thought the guy stage center, Damian, must of been the one using the traditional Cornford rig.
So with that premise of who used what, I listened to their tones all night, and both were great, as was their playing. Well as impartial as I wanted to be, I thought the guitarist who really was Damian had the better tone. Bobby was great too, but I was kind of like "The Axe sounds greats, but the guy with the analog rig using all the classic pedals sounds just a little bit better". Fair enough conclusion right ?
Wrong!
Imagine my shock when I check out photos after the show and realized that it was actually Damian who was playing the Axe....the guy I thought was using a traditional rig....the guy I thought had the best tone.
So there you have it, basically blind tone test, when I used just my ears, I picked the Axe II as the best tone.
