Be sure to listen to that video in >STEREO<

I'm watching it on my Nokia 5110 m8!

I listened on my Bose system connected to my media display......it was stellar, but I didn't expect anything less.

I feel the universe is telling me something....I love the sublime.

I asked him on YT and he replied; "QSC K12"

Close but not exactly: they're QSC KW122s.

I'll go with what he says, the ones in the video doesn't look like KW122's.
Note the cutout behind the handle (and the orientation of the handle), the three screws on top and the logo.

You could remove all the amps and cabs from the AxeFx, and you’d still need to pry it from my cold dead hands as an FX processor.


The sky is the limit when it comes to delay and verbs tones in the Fractalverse, and when you throw a modulation in front of them…. epic

I don’t think nearly enough people realize this.

Just talking delay, I have never tried or even heard of another delay that comes anywhere close to the capabilities of Fractal’s delay blocks, in both tone and features, and believe me I've looked. Even the FM3 can do more, and to me sounds better, than literally any other company’s delay products you can buy at any price.

Reverbs are slightly more subjective and dependent on the particulars of the specific algorithms, but even so, for me, same goes for Fractal’s Reverbs. For reverbs, I haven’t found any reason to look elsewhere.

Actually now that I think about it, I am completely happy with all of Fractal’s time based effects, compressors, EQ, and pitch effects. I don’t think anything beats them for tone and flexibility.

Obviously love the amps but for me the effects are way better than anything else out there. Line6 has great effects but I’m spoiled with the fm9

Did a few songs in the wee hours of the morning on live TV for a fundraiser here over the weekend. We had a 5 minute changeover from the previous act (a country band with banjo & fiddle) and the choice of various small tube combos. Being able to DI the FM9 and get reasonable guitar noises quickly is something I'm so grateful for.

Kept waiting for the Angel of Death scream. Was disappointed.

Seriously, though, the FM9 (and you) were killing it. Very good.

Good job on the 5 minute dial in! Then again, 5 minute tones is your thing ;~)) Congrats on a rockin job!!

Killer!!
Are you using LT TVMix 7?

Are you using LT TVMix 7?

As an additional question, and maybe you've explained this before, what exactly is in the LT TVMix 7 IR? What cab, speakers, mics and their position?

 

[Piing]

Holy crap, folks, don’t sleep on the FET Boost in the drive block. It is deceptively simple but can cop a lot of low-to-mid-gain tones. I had a great time using it in front of the ODS Clean and 2203 High. It can do underdrive, too (or maybe my ears are broken) while not sounding anaemic.

I used to use the FET Preamp in front of clean amps to get that “lift” for solo spots without any gain boost but with some added fairy dust. But the FET Boost seems to do that in an even more pleasant manner.

I also tend to gravitate to the FET, but I've been using the Tape for a long time. Tape gives a slight smoothing to the high frequencies. Sometimes Transformer. Recently getting some cool nuances with the Bipolar or the Exciter. Or Vintage to dial old tones, e.g.: PF Echoes. I don't know if that really makes a difference, but I am sure that they used vintage preamps in 1971

@FractalAudio we would really appreciate if you reveal some details about the preamp models that they are inspired to. We promise that we will not rant about it more than we usually do

We love data!

BTW, what settings are you normally using? I don't touch these much, except for Hi Cut, Mid and Treble.

I suspect he's more of an Axe kinda guy, but you never know...
It certainly excited Sharon...!

Congrats man, you ripped in those 10 minutes! That solo on Rust definitely has some Uli Roth vibes in it.
Kinda weird they panned your guitar all the way to the left though.

@DLC86
I don’t know how this ended up not quoting you

Uli vibes you say
Well now I have to go and listen again
Seriously good stuff !!!!

Yes indeed.

@laxu it's a Marshall "Tall Vintage" cab that I assume is from the 90's? Mics are an SM7b, Royer 121 and Sennheiser MD421. The speakers are 25w greenbacks.

@DLC86 cheers! Was going for that Uli/Marty vibe
