The greatest tone from the AX8. EVER.

[ZenRigs Man]

Oh my word. I nearly wet my dog (my dog, Toffee, was unharmed in the making of this video. He seems to like loud guitar music though, which is a good thing).

I Installed FW 6.02 on my AX8 this weekend, tweaked a bit on my main dirty patch and quickly recorded this clip to test out my new Zoom Q2n. Only just listened back to this late last night and it sounds bloody AWESOME.

Very short clip, recorded late, lights were off, but was just testing the audio for some upcoming videos for KickTags and really wanted to share how bloody awesome the CLRs and the AX8 (with Q6.02) are sounding. Taking YouTube compression into account, this is how it sounds to me 'in the room'. I've never had a better tone, even when I had a full on Marshall 4x12 and various lovely tube heads; this kicks and punches better than them all and is more 'in the room' than my 4x12 used to feel, if that makes any sense.

Raw audio, no processing whatsoever. CLRs are less than half my normal gig volume (you can hear the pick hitting the strings). If FW 7.0 is better than this, then... bloody hell

Planning on updating my gig-patch set over the next month or so and will share with anyone that wants them!

Hey folks! Patch is attached! I'll put it on the preset exchange section too. Some notes for you:

Please bear in mind this patch will sound different through different FRFR (I use Atomic CLRs) and guitars etc. Note that there are 2 delays in the patch, and Expression Pedal 2 is assigned to switch between them (for rhythm and lead delays). Also the delay levels are set using External 3 and External 4 (I use to rotary controllers on my pedalboard to set delay levels) so you might want to adjust those, remove the assignments to the level parameter or replace them with your own delays.

Have fun!

All is good dude - but things are changing... don't want to clog up the forum with the details - it's all on my FB page but I'll post updates here when ready.

Thanks for the comment on the tone - it's even better now I'm on FW 7!
