Axe-FX (A Love Story?) Rd.1

@FractalAudio

Since you lurk here and might see this.

You have a legion of fans so you don’t need praise from a mouth breather like me, but this thing has been an absolute blast to play the last few days. This is probably the most amount of fun I’ve had playing a piece of gear in a long while, which I suppose should be the point of all this gear stuff.

Killer device. (y)

And if it’s not too soon for me to start making requests, a Friedman Steve Stevens V2 model would be epic. :ROFLMAO:
 
Blasted through two more columns.

More of the same, awesome Marshall smorgasbord… Brit Super, Studio, Silver. All excellent.

I accidentally went to the Carr Ambler (been trying to plow through the gainy stuff) and that thing has some real potential. Dialed in a pretty sweet dark and broody clean with a touch of grit. :chef

Das Metal, exactly what you expect. Cornfordbread 50 I actually liked most with Sat on for some reason, seemed to tighten it up nice.

I don’t know what the Class A 30w Hot model is but that thing caught me by surprise. Snappy, crisp. Badass. Out of right field on this one here, but very cool with some dialing in.

Surprise of these two column of amps… Cameron CCV. We will meet again. Some real tasty stuff here once you get the OD and gain levels dialed in. Very good stuff here.

Ears shot. No more guitar today. :ROFLMAO:
CCV FTW

One trick that guys are doing to simulate that if you want the HiGain

Take the Friedman HBE now change that tonestack to plexi
It will be brighter and more that roar the Stevens gets , there is also a preset in the factory preset Atomic playboy I think it’s called
That has some great tones and custom Ir from SS actual cab

For all the complaining we all do with different units about UI, what models are/aren't included, the form factor and the price, this is a point that doesn't get raised enough and should be the ultimate focus with gear in general.

That's one of the slightly older HW Series Vox's where they introduced a "Hot" Switch on the TB Channel.

Its the stock/standard TB Channel but when you engage the "Hot" Switch .... most-but-not-all of the Tone Stack is "lifted" / "removed" from the signal path circuit .... resulting in a much raw'er / gainier overdrive.

Its a *great* sound.
