if you're not afraid to listen to some sloppy playing, here's an example:
Ha ha yeah right...sloppy playing........that was killer! Any chance to try that patch?

Gave this a go with the EJ strat.......me likes! Course it sounds so much better with your chops, but whata ya gonna do?here, give this a go
I'm pretty certain Larry has an Axe Fx III... But he gigs with the AX8.Listen to some LARRY MITCHELL he’s all AX8 If that’s not good enough for ya then yeah, fractal is not for you.
I think OP may be disappointed because he wants amp in the room tone.
There are a few videos of him with the III but a lot of his performance videos at this time are using the AX8.I'm pretty certain Larry has an Axe Fx III... But he gigs with the AX8.
Yes... I think all of his performance videos are the AX8 since (as I mentioned) he gigs with it.There are a few videos of him with the III but a lot of his performance videos at this time are using the AX8.
Point being that if the OP likes what he hears with Larry using the AX8, he will be just fine with the III.
Yeah he has a III, but uses the AX8, but the point was: if he pulled up some of his albums to listen to, he’d be hearing the AX8. He’s on FB every single Thursday night and plays & chats and is still using the AX8. Although a lot of times he does those on the road so even more reason for the AX8.I'm pretty certain Larry has an Axe Fx III... But he gigs with the AX8.
I'm not sure that's a true statement. I think Larry may record with real amps... Never saw anything posted about that, although I have wondered about it.if he pulled up some of his albums to listen to, he’d be hearing the AX8.
Historically, most of the Axe Fx content that I found was oriented around high gain stuff. So if someone hasn't dug in they might not have been exposed beyond that.“only good for high gain stuff” I find perplexing, somewhat insulting & fairly ignorant.
Well obviously his older stuff is amp, but his more recent albums I’m almost positive are AX8. Well AX8 along with the Eventide H9 and maybe some other various pedals. I’m just about positive that’s what he said he used, but my memory isn’t always perfect.. I’m still working out a few quirks.I'm not sure that's a true statement.

It wouldn't surprise me, though.
However, whether he does or not, his live sound is excellent and absolutely nails the sound on his recordings.
I've jammed with Larry a few times (check the Vai Academy 2019 thread) - the stuff he does with his AX8 is awesome and well beyond what he has recorded, IMO.
He has some brilliant effects and funk/synth sounds, etc.

Being that I don't play much high gain, it took me finding the right video before I was sold. That video was a Tom Quayle demo of the Axe Fx II back in 2013. Had no idea who he was, but once I hear it I knew what I wanted was possible.
Anyway, I got your original point when you posted the first time. I was simply making a clarifying statement.
