Finally these settings are the secret sauce!

It's clear he's just using the Axe-Fx, and the Mesas are just for show!

 

[norminal]

I bet the Mesas are just faceplates and all he really uses are the Axe-FXs.

I’ve long speculated this after Cliff modeled “John’s personal amp.”

This is how the rest of the band fucks with Petrucci when he goes to take a leak during practice.

Back in my Mesa days I would have lost my shit if someone did this to my amp's knobs and EQ. That stuff took infinity time to get set just right. If you even breathed near it I'd be pissed.

Fractal gets endless shit for playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.

Worst analogy ever.

As a former Mark IV/Dual Rec owner, yes!

Dude, carbon fiber fronts?

 

[Orvillain]

Reminds me of the time we played a show, and it was early early days of the band and I didn't have an amp. So I took my Fulltone OCD along and was just gonna play through the house amp, which was a tiny Fender combo thing. It was shit.

The headline band (bunch of nobodies really) wouldn't let me borrow their amp, because he didn't want me to mess up his controls.

Mate... you were playing a fucking Marshall Mode Four... it was gonna sound like dogshit whatever you set the knobs to!!

Do you know how he splits duties between the TC and Fractal units?

Dude, carbon fiber fronts?

When I was in high school and would spend every class drawing rigs in my notebooks, I designed my own 4x12's that were wrapped in carbon fiber with a kevlar grille. If Mesa starts making these as their new Road Ready line, I'm pulling out those notebooks and calling a lawyer!

I bet Cooper Carter would know the answer to this.

Dude, carbon fiber fronts?

carbon fiber is the new black

Hey, how'd that get on the back of my Fractal shirts?

That’s awesome
I want one

If gen IV rack unit and FM9 replacement launch the same day, which would be the bigger seller? I'm guessing floorboard.

Ohhh idk. I think IV

 

[paisleywookiee]

Depends on what’s got the most power, therefore the most eCred.

 

[Achilles]

I think IV

Agree. A new dual space rack mount monster FAS flagship would truly be............. yup, a game changer.
Never mind all the resident Madison Square Bedroom players around here (mostly), a new flagship
would rock the studio world as well as every pro muso touring with at least one Axe III.

A new rack is where you'd get a Petrucci doing full page endorsement ads.

 

[Sidler72]

maybe this

 

[Jarick]

Well that's certainly different. Clearly aftermarket but fairly well executed.

 

[Achilles]

Mutant love child of an Axe.III and FC12.
That or a head on collision of the two.
