Dweezil Zappa, no more AxeFx?

[etzel]

There is this Concert from october, with the Dweezil show, there is no Axe on sight, only amps. Do anyone of you know what happened? He was known as a well respected pioneer of the Axe and direct sound

He probably has multiple rigs to choose from
maybe his axe fx's are tighted up in another rig configuration ..

just a guess

He was using two when I saw him in December.

Magical ones too because they sounded way better than mine.

2 important things to get close to Dweezil's Sound: 1) Use the same power supply cable like he does. 2) Don't wash your left middle-finger. That's makes it sounding more "organic"....

Was this one of the Zappa Plays Zappa shows? Because that's what he was using the Axe for, so he could get the huge amount of tones that he needed to in order to play all his dad's stuff without needing all the gear.

Here's a nice action shot from his gig yesterday (Jan 26th 2014). Seems relevant.

Wish I was watching this show instead of the Grammys :nightmare:

It may be brown sound but its made using the hairy brown eye model!

He has had so many rigs, some insanely huge and complicated and then the simple Axe FX II rig. When listening to the recorded concert and comparing tones from him and Steve Vai you could tell the difference from which one sounded tube driven verses digital. Both guitars rigs sounded great. However for my ears on the recording it seemed that Dweezil seemed a bit compressed but not in a bad way at all. Now it could of been his patch but Vai tone had that more open tube sound to me. Again they both sounded amazing.

Good grief.

Dweezil had his double AXE FX rig in Atlantic City last Saturday and sounded incredible.
