I'm new to Ax8.. I've been trying to find a good Fat authentic Jazz tone..Also a thick sustaining clean smooth jazz tone also..Chuck Lobe..comes to mind..So far I've been making mud lol
 
Welcome to the forum Christopher. You can try a couple of my presets at the Axechange. Just search by my name. I suggest the TX Star, the Carr, or for a more driven sound the Plexi 100 (with the drive off). The Carr uses a non-factory cab so you will have to load that cab into your library. You can also try substituting one of the factory cabs for the cab. I suggest one of the Cellestion IRs. Again, welcome.

As stated above, I am NOT a jazz player, just a guitar player. But their was a demo song for the axefx way back when I bought my first axefx. This demo was the deal maker for me. I actually play mostly blues, R&B and good old rock&Roll. Anyway, this is more than 8 yeas ago.....But still the sound is just "GOOD CLEAN GUITAR". Real good player also. Just elaborating that the sound is there - in this box. No doubt about it. This is a zillion firmwares ago also.

Sounds Great Stratman68, hints of Chuck Loeb. What guitar are you using on this tune?

Ciao. I love Chuck Loeb music and I'm trying to recreate his sound as well. Try those AXE FX II patch I made and tell me what you think about.
Take Care,
Michele

Yup i remember that So-Cal driving demo and loved that tone, i was trying to get that myself when i was doing a smooth jazz record.

i could never dial it in like that so cal drivin sound, was close.

I play mostly straight ahead now, as well as some smooth jazz gigs but i would use Jens patches. To be honest i have a Henriksen Bud amp for classic jazz tones as well as an Acoustic Image with a Raezers edge cab.

Thanks Michele ill check out the Chuck lobe patches.
 
I sometimes add a drive block like Rat or TS to a clean amp and dial out all the gain. This gets rid of a muddy low end and produces a stronger midrange- this usually works great in the mix. You can get strong clean tones this way. You can also leave just a little bit of hair on the drive block and turn guitar volume down until its clean.
