This is a tune I wrote/recorded when I first got these studio monitors as a way to teach myself how to mix on. I also did not have a way of recording amps at the time, so I was still only using the AxeFX. This is most certainly not a amp vs modelers comparison, but an example of why I needed to play through an amp again for a while. I had lost perspective on dialing in tones.
This was what I recorded back around January, I'm pretty sure I'm using the Jose 6CA7 I did up, a JCM800 and there's some Friedman stuff in the bridge.
And this is what I did today-I haven't listened to this outside the studio, I just finished the bass and after 12 hours, I'm cooked.Hahhaha I cranked the shit out of the B7K on the bass in the bridge and it's a bit obnoxious here.
All the guitars and bass are new, aside from 3 guitar tracks.
Main rhythm tone
Orville- Bogner Shiva- Suhr RL- AxeFX DynaCabs (Friedman V30, 57 and Ribbon)
Edwards- EVH 50-watt- Suhr RL- AxeFX DynaCabs (Recto 4x12 Straight Ribbon)
Some rhythm tracks are the originals, which I believe were Friedman models. Mostly the bits heard by themselves.
Octave Overdubs in the Chorus
Electra Dyne- Suhr RL- Fractal Friedman GB Dynacab (both guitars, one on each side0
Single note picked parts
Old Man Strat - AxeFX AC30- AC30 Dynca Cab Ribbon
Solo- Orville, AxeFX Jose 6CA7
At the same time I was learning these new monitors, I was getting reacquainted with an amp sitting in front of me. I wanted to see how close I could make this how I wanted using mainly what I had for amps and not just the AxeFX, but at one point I got tired of tweaking amps and it was faster for me to dial in the AC30 in the AxeFX than it was to mimic a similar sound with any of the amps. Didn't get exactly where I wanted tonally, but it's also not mixed at all. It does have more depth and meat, a bit more organic all around I suppose.
