AFIII Porcupine Tree cover - firmware 3.0

[fremen]

Posted in the firmware 3.0 thread but I think it deserves its own thread.
Here's a cover of my favorite Porcupine Tree song, recorded with the Axe-Fx III firmware 3.0. No keyboards used here, just a MIDI drum track, everything else was played on 4 or 6 strings through the Axe 3, using and abusing the new reverb models

Vocals recorded by @shatteredsquare - great job dude !

I used a preset from my Friedman BE/HBE Amp Pack and modified it accordingly for that song. I will add it to the pack as a bonus soon

Man, that's some production, I like everything about it!

And @shatteredsquare, you definitely regained points on this board with the vocal track, full of character. Awesome job.

This is the sound of hundreds of Strymon pedals being posted online for sale simultaneously.

@shatteredsquare awesome vocals.

Killer all around! Playing, singing, production. Wow, guys. That’s some great work there.

 

[shatteredsquare]

@shatteredsquare awesome vocals.

Woohoo thank you sir! (and for allowing me to continually blather on your website)

This is probably the best PT cover I've heard, both of you guys knocked it out of the park. Vocals are fantastic!

Well! That was something else! Really well done @fremen and @shatteredsquare!

Bonus points for that t-shirt @fremen! Those four words immediately play an iconic song in my head.

@fremen and @shatteredsquare you guys seriously kick ass. That was great.

Never listened to the original. I just did, and I actually prefer parts of this cover version.

I bet Steve Vai wishes he had a lead tone like @3:12...I've never heard a recorded guitar sound so good. ANYWHERE.

Wow, thanks dude I'm proud that all the guitar tones in this version have zero post-processing. They're all from the first preset in my Friedman BE/HBE amp pack, tweaked for that song. I will add it to the pack soon

EDIT : time to use my previous avatar again

[MattBowman]

Just so good, great job guys!

 

[xpenno]

Wow, great work fellas, couldn't fault it!

what's the details on the virtual bass rig?? I've never heard a bass recording push that much air except a real Warwick through a real 8x10, much less a virtual rig of any kind.

I'll post the bass preset tomorrow. 2:10 am here, just got back from a rehearsal

Killer cover. Well done!

Awesome job all! Great stuff!

I’m speechless.

That was stunning and the best cover I’ve ever heard of my all time favorite band.
