    Axe-fx vs Other Layer preamps.

    ...also, just to clarify, as whoop-azz as the AFX is, it's still not as awesome as the "real thing", but it's obviously more practical than traveling with a wharehouse full of vintage/boutique gear... The mixing & routing capability is ridiculous...

    Axe-fx vs Other Layer preamps.

    I've been using my Axe-FX Ultra live for bass since April '10 and was borrowing a friend's Standard before that. I absolutely love it. I'm primarily using the comp sim into the SVT amp sim and into a Marshall 4-12 cab as my main signal chain, and then adding ear-candy here and there as...

    Akai SB-1 Deep Impact: Settings and info

    My SB1 had been unresponsive for the last few shows, so I finally busted it open last night and was able to get it working again (I'll take it to my local repair shop for a good professional once-over after I've tried the spreadsheet settings out). I'll write down my existing settings and see...

    Talkbox FTW!

    The Digitech Talker, on the "Talkbox" setting, sounds like the classic hose-in-the-mouth talkbox... Then it can do a bunch of other things on top of that, but none are as kewl as the Talkbox setting, IMO. The downfall of the Talker, or at least of the two I own, is that they cause this huge...

    Axe-Fx Ultra Sound Clip Requests?

    Jufros, is that only the Axe-FX???? Can I get a copy of the file from you to see how it's built? Pretty please? I'm test-driving a buddy's Ultra at the moment and am completely floored. If I can even get close to these tones, I may have to offload some coveted pedals I never would have...

    Bass Choruses that Dont Suck

    I got rid of my CF for the EXACT same reason you did bro. Couldn't agree with you more, on all points... I actually had a Peavey chorus (yes, Peavey) that would only chorus the highs. I Frankenstein'd it into a rack mount unit and do not remember what the name was, but it actually only...

    Thoughts on the Axe-FX Ultra?

    Again on the comparatively-expensive side is the GORDIUS LG foot controller. There are a TON of Axe-fx users in the Gordius forum and Xavier has basically made the LG work SEAMLESSLY with the Fractal Axe-fx, so much so that the latest version, LG2, will display the tuner of the Axe-fx on the...

    Deep Impact rant

    Oooh, I just noticed the seller describes it as "as used by MUSE"... :hmm: Hmmm, gonna have to see if I can get a useable "Hysteria" sound with it in the signal chain somehow...

    Deep Impact rant

    HOLY COW..!?!?!?! :eek: $810, are they crazy? I picked up mine & my UB1 for under $200 each many years ago (early 2000s). I'll admit the SB1 is whoop-azz, when I can get the delicate little @#$!*& to work properly, but these people are out of their minds. Then again, at those prices...

    Lighting your Effects - Options!

    +1 for the "boardpimp" method, and I agree with WHOATHERECHUNK and WALKER ROSEWOOD that being able to ditch the batteries is best. I put all my pedals into a rack-mount setup and just use the front lights via my rack-mount power supply. I didn't like the idea of a $5 pitcher of beer wiping...
