First AxeFX Tone Test (Post Hardcore/High Gain)

[verstamp]

Heya folks,
Here's my first tone test with the AxeFX. The track is using the Mach IV sim and S2.0 drums. I haven't really arranged anything here, just dumped some ideas for a track as they've been coming.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Not bad, bit a bit too loud.

Dude, totally DIGGIN' IT! Great playing and tone! Care to share your preset??? :mrgreen

Preset #329

Slightly edited EQ and master volume. I really like the sound of that amp sim and cab combo though, so little editing was required. The patch is a bit fizzy stock, but lowering the gain and cranking up the master makes it rock a bit more.

Used a bit of delay and reverb on the tapping part, but sadly I didn't save that patch. I'm really haphazard when it comes to throwing on those things. Whoops!

Da Pa-trooch Rhythm! No wonder I liked it! That's one of my favorite presets. I'll have to try what you did with the MV and Gain. Thanks!

Here's one of the candidates for the final arrangements. Still contemplating some things about it. Vocals should be done in a week or so!

Let me know if you have any suggestions

Digging the song mate! Are you in a band? Sounds fat and crunchy without being muddy. I like that about the axe high-gain tones. How did you record this?

Axe FX > Cheapo M-Audio box > Ableton Live 8 using only in-the-box plugins

Not currently in a band, but my singer/songwriter friend and I are using this to hopefully put one together. Goal is to modernize "post hardcore" while cutting out the "emo" elements. He's a killer singer, so I'm looking forward to putting this stuff out when we can get to doing vocals.
