Inspired
last Saturday we played with our bands Parris (Dutch Thin Lizzy tribute) and Harris (Dutch Iron Maiden tribute) in Germany. My Axe-fx II was loaded with the last beta fw before 2.01 and I loaded two preset/cab bundles from Cab Pack 20. For Lizzy I used the bundle with the Plexi 100 sim; for Maiden I used the HBE bundle. Did a quick back-and-forth amp switch and set the one or two basic settings in the amp-block that I saw where moved back to where they where (it was only the presence and gain level I believe). Added a drive, chorus and delay block + eq-block for lead-boost and off to the gig.
The last few years I used the Axe into a Matrix power-amp with a Bogner 4x12 v30 miced up. I asked the soundman if I could try direct out. If the sound was not ok he could allways use I microphone instead. At the soundcheck I started playing and the soundman started laughing: this sounds awesome! Look: no eq at all, just my volume-slider! He was happy - I was 100 times happier!! In the past the few times direct out where sounding bad - thats why I put direct-out on hold.
A big thank you to Mikko for making these bundles - they proof very easily that they work imho. For me anyway. Just plug-and-play.
To give a idea about the sound you can check the added videos if you like.
The first one is Parris, the second Harris. You can find out for your self who is me; there is only one green light on stage
Hope you like it.
