People have told me since I first started posting here about buying an Axe II to check out other stuff than I normally would once I got one. Guilty as I didn't. I'm primarily a high gain guy and my #1 atm is an Ibanez RGIB6 baritone in open B. Did the usual stuff: Mesas, Uber, Thorendahl high gain and what not.
DLed Fremen's stuff last week and been picking out favorites (which is HARD because these are all seriously fantastic). Happened upon a Euro Blue, which as I'm given to understand models the Blue channel of an Ecstasy maybe? I really wouldn't have ever given this a shot in real life, as every clip I've heard is just too low gain for me; always thought of this channel as more of a hard rock thing than a metal thing.
WRONG. This tone is punchy and thick and full of badassery. Just to reiterate, especially for the metal guys that are noobs like me: try em all, seriously. You never know what you'll find. This is my new rhythm tone for sure, and with a chorus and/or delay its fantastic as is for a lead too.
