Better than friedman and 5150 on axefx?

[August_caras@yahoo.com]

I noticed a lot of people been using friedman or 5150 as their main tone ( for rock/metal ). I use 5150 blue myself as i can't get that tone i want from other amps. Suggestions?

Do you want a different tone? If not, stay with the 5150. Otherwise, I would suggesting setting up a looper block at the beginning of the signal chain and cycling through amps to get an idea of what they sound like.

Really, though, the IR is probably going to make as much, if not more difference with what you hear for rock/metal.

I like a specific tone and playing a friedman or a 5153 blue is my go to amp. Tried to tweak a recto one time. Too bright and when i boost the low end it sounds like im in a tunnel lol

I can make just about any high gain amp sound good if not similar with different IR's as needed. Sometimes its just a matter of why, but I have fun getting each amp in the axe to do my high gain sound.

I think it's more about cabs and mics than amps when tweaking.

All depends on the desired result. There are many ways to an end.

Very underrated amp, one of my favorites

I guess it's never ending tweaking lol

I like a jcm800mod and rectifier orange and tweak to get rid of sizzle. For live stuff. It has balls. It does not translate well to recording. I am new to the axe fx(any variation) and have found alot of the sounds sit in a mix well but sound like shit with the band. I am running it with two jblsrx715s with no cab or power amp.

Tried to play the splawn nitrous. Still not as good as my friedman.

If you use the HBE for Highgain sounds, turn on the "Cut"-Switch. IMHO, 70 % of the sound is made by the CAB IRs.

Jvm green or orange are very good in f15!
Maybe similar to friedman but a little clearer and open sounding

I love Mesa Mark Series

That's what i did to my hbe. It sounds so good! I agree that it's all about cab irs. Makes big diff on the tone.

I like the iic+ too but the post eq really frustrates me. Can you please share your settings and the cab you use?

 

[Noriuky73]

Splawn Nitrous is really nice !!

I set few patches with different Drive \ Master settings , very rich and musical . Best results for me was with a OH HGE Diezel Chinese 8ohm V30 and a second cab with Peter Thorn Div By13 G12 ...
With my Les Paul Standard PUs sings awesome

I heard Les Paul pups have some nice clarity on axe. Have to try those soon.
