METALLICA Chooses Fractal Audio Axe-Fx IIs for Silent Antarctica Concert

[Admin M@]

It's official: Metallica chooses Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx II for silent concert in Antarctica.


Here's a post by Chad (James Hetfield's tech) on our FB page, commenting on us being sold out of Axe-Fx IIs.
James, Kirk, and Robert will be playing through the Axe-Fx II.

Why can't FAS land someone famous?

 

[DukeOfPrunes]

Wow! They may need to use a drive pedal in front of that IIc +, just to keep them warm...

 

[symphx]

Congrats!


P.S. Ah.... now I get it. Forum member redKing IS James Hetfield!!

Why do you say this, sounds like he is mostly interested in mimicing Petrucci's sound and says he plays a Music Man with bare knuckles?

 

[Guitarjon]

Wow! Great great news!

 

[iaresee]

One by one they all come over to the right way to think.

Ain't it obvious? IIC+ is THE Metallica tone. Anyway, don't want to wander off the topic here so I'll delete my previous comment.

Back in 2008 I thought I was a fairly late adopter. Lots of guys were already raving online about FAS, but no rock superstars had caught on yet. Absolutely no one in my town had ever heard of it. After messing with my Ultra those first few days I just knew this tech was destined to take over the guitar world.

Only problem is now it's too mainstream. I'll need to find something different to keep feeling unique

So, who the hell will these guys Tonematch?

PS: Thanks to Silent Underground Studio. His videos caught someone's eye (ear?) it was implied...

This was too funny Duke!

 

[tade]

To be honest, I'm not surprised at all. What else would do a better job?

 

[LucasLeCompte]

Awesome! Metallica are pretty much the reason I play guitar. I know a while back they were using G major 2s but it seems TC themselves have abandoned the unit. Glad Metallica is on board the FAS train! :lol:lol

Matt we need all the presets that you helped them to dial in......

 

[bammbamm]

So Matt, are you going to Antarctica with Metallica for tech support?

 

[Admin M@]

I am not going to Antarctica. The plane/ship voyage is just too much.
We spent 5 days in INTENSE sessions dialing in the show.
It's a very smart band and crew and they're now comfortable on their own.
