Neal Schon Axe-Fx III vs Axe-Fx II

[Cooper Carter]

Sounds like Neal used to make his life more complcated then it really needed to be (axe 2 rig)

No, he wanted an awesome array of tones at his feet to access at any time. And he used every feature of that rig every night on tour.

I bet if you turned both of those racks on at the same time, the lights would go down in the city...

I'll show myself out.

The party is over.

Mastermind. We'll likely switch him to the FCs soon, though.

May I ask which FC?

 

[xprophet]

I wonder if one of those II’s was for Cain?

Rock and roll baby! For when the lights go down in the city!

 

[Wigam2]

I'll bet he loves the III Just The Same Way he loved the II. It's an all around Message of Love.

 

[symphx]

After ALL THESE YEARS with the 2 hes just no longer FEELING THAT WAY, and ONLY THE YOUNG axe 3 can be embraced with OPEN ARMS, and really be routed ANY WAY YOU WANT IT, to PLAY SOME MAGIC AND while THEY STILL RIDE, for the axe 2 tHE PARTY IS OVER,for Neil at least,

BUT I WILL NEVER WALK AWAY from it because it still FRIIIIIIIIIIGGIN SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OldSnail]

For sure, he was not on the european waiting list ;-)

Don’t throw flamethrower at me, I do not know who Neal Schon is !
Maybe not old enough...
Or maybe 80’s thrasher...

 

[NeoSound]

Only the young could move the old rig!

 

[Rocksalot]

I'll bet he's using Moke's "Escape" preset. that thing sounds just like the record

 

[Shigeo]

Interesting.

Not being a discerning wah user myself, I’ve been happy with wahs in every processor I’ve had, but have heard a lot of complaints about the II with regard to this strange effect.

Is the one in the III significantly improved?

 

[Randy4Guitars]

STILL no comparison to when they had Greg Rolie.

As far as I can tell the only difference is the addition of the EQ.

Complaints about the wah models? Where? I don't recall coming across any, let alone a lot.

Can’t point you to a specific quote, but have heard this many times from many people. Never paid much attention - to me it sounded perfectly fine, and was tweakable and useful. Never understood what they were talking about.

But I also see a lot of artists using “real” wahs though. Like the protagonist of this thread.

I used to see the occasional comment that the Wah in the Axe-Fx could be more realistic. But those complaints evaporated when the Wah block was improved four years ago.

Dunlop rack wahs have a significant following with big-name shows, at least partly because they can be controlled from multiple locations across the stage.

Ah, that's right, you can't really have multiple controllers connected to the II...
