Drives of the Axe FX III

[LucasLeCompte]

Hey everyone! Welcome to my new series called Drive of the Axe Fx III Where I go through all the pedals in the drive block. First up, The Xotic BB Pre. This thing is a mean beast with loads of mids! Going to be posting a new episode every Friday!

Love this kind of thing! Checking it out now

Its the drive I use the most. It is my favorite of all of them in there.

The Sola Sound/Vox Fuzz pedal is pretty famous: for being one of the first UK fuzz circuits, and for being used by Jimmy Page to record Whole Lotta Love! It also sounds fantastic!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The Fractal Bit Crusher is an awesome pedal! Want lofi? Want really odd sounds? Then this is it! With reverb and some other effects, you can make some insane sounds!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The Marshall Blues Breaker is a Legendary Pedal. It captures one of the best blues tones of the 60's right inside a pedal!


Put that patch on axe change of anyone wants it

The Xotic AC Booster is the cousin of the BB Pre. It is great for thicking up an already distorted tone and works pretty decently on a clean tone too!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The RC Booster is a really awesome pedal. It gives clean tones new life and can make a lead tone soar!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The Darkglass B7K is an awesome pedal for bass! No matter how you use it, with or without an amp, it sounds great! I know bass isnt covered much on the Axe Fx but the B7K does a great job with bass!

Super cool! I just saw this thread. Need to check all these out.

The Lovepedal Eternity is one of my favorite drive pedals in the axe fx! It has a very nice and creamy sound to it!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The Fuzz Face is an AWESOME fuzz pedal! Jimmy Hendrix himself used it! You can get some great sounds with it on the axe fx!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The FAS Boost is a great boost pedal! It doesnt boost mids like a tubescreamer and also doesnt cut a lot of low end. It is even great for modeling other drive peadls!

 

[RevChristoph]

Just saw this and it looks awesome. If you haven't already done this I'd love to see a similar series on the other effects pedals.

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The FAS LED Drive is pretty interesting! The axe lets you change between different color LEDs with the LED drive too!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The FET Boost in the axe fx is so great. It gives you a lot of flexibility when using it, and it can even be used to model the famous Klon!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The FET Preamp drive is a very mysterious drive in the axe fx. It seems it is based off the Boss FA-1, which the Edge from U2 uses and loves. The drive also made it into the axe fx around the time it became known that the edge was using the axe fx. Was this pedal added just for him??? It sounds great that is for sure!

 

[LucasLeCompte]

The Fulltone Full Drive 2 is such a fun pedal! It can tame a high gain amp or add some boost to any amp!
