AxeFx II Prog Rock Test Playthrough

[CobHatecrewNor]

That was actually a really awesome clip. Holy shit what cool riffs

[uglyguido]

nice genelecs, 8040s?

[khalilhab]

Great playing and tone! What is the unit in between the Furman and Axe FX?

[SingingStringsMusic]

Very cool...you're one of the few "chops" guys I've heard who's totally musical, with a unique voice. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

[motherboardsorg]

NICE PLAYING MY MAN,,,

[Delta1382]

Dude this is like my dream rig, even down to the red finish on the Petrucci 7-string, so jealous

[snowbrdr88]

Incredible playing! But I STILL cannot stand the look of the EBMM... I'm trying, but thanks for the awesome music!

[afterthefox7]

huh!!! what just happened?

[MrHelloGuitar]

Thumbs up Samus!

[pelosmaster]

Damn I like the phrasing at the end!! Awesome, man!

[lowyaw]

thatw as a very cool tune

[Sehsoebie]

Beautiful Ernie Ball..Great piece too. Keep filming jamms.

[Xiacro]

Hey what camera are you using? Nice sound AND video quality =)!

[liamzuid]

You rock dude!



[neilorourke71]

beast, dude.  Much respect

[mrsynix]

that was fuckin sick!! haha

[SonicProvocateur]

Why is your Furman reading at such low power?? I run 3 amps, a pedalboard and outboard units on mine and i'm never in the yellow...

[Taobandofficial]

@SonicProvocateur Because I live in a small apartment and I had the air conditioner on haha

[xXPunkxJoyXx]

What are you using to get that true clear sound from the axe fx 2? :O

[bringmethehoryan]

Awesome riffs man, absolutely incredible. \m/

[EMGXX84]

i wanna know if the guitar stay tuned if you play with the tremolo?

[0duor]

@EMGXX84 It's a 3000 Dollar guitar. I'm pretty sure it stays in tune.

[vbdude006]

@EMGXX84 Yeah, the guitar stays in tune for ages. I use the trem on my JPMM all the time and I have to tune it PROPERLY like every 2 weeks or so. I mean, every trem will go out of tune quickly by extreme abuse but I use it quite a bit. Its great and honestly, its the best trem that i have ever used.

[xXxglassgowdreamxXx]

@EMGXX84 Its John Petrucci's sig model. Nuff' said

[guitarzanman]

Great stuff dude!! Great tones AND playing!

[bayonetworkx9]

i wish i had the seven string version...

[BarrMazda]

Can I buy this on iTunes?

[Taobandofficial]

@BarrMazda not yet! Im still recording my first album , but you can stay updated through my bands facebook page or you can go to my Tumblr page (links are in the description ) and look at the several pages I upload my stuff ! even have a closer look to the gear I use and stuff like that but if you only want to get this track you can get it for free at my soundcloud :D

[camer138]

[Taobandofficial]

@camer138 Thank you man! if everything goes well ill have an EP out next month :)

[camer138]

@Taobandofficial

thats good news! even if its mostly instrumental i'm still interested in getting a copy.. but what are the vocals like? are they up front like most bands or just used as a sort of background ambience?

[Taobandofficial]

@camer138 Vocals are a mix between classical music and sometimes it gets a little bit jazzy haha this video is more of the jazzy side of her . She is an amazing composer as well! copy paste this link next to the youtube URL

/watch?v=VjO19Py5S2w&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[camer138]

@Taobandofficial she definately has talent! looking forward to hearing the EP!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

[Taobandofficial]

@SpartanLaserCanon Im 22 :D

[chakkale]

thumbs up for apogee ensemble too :D and of course the furman

[OndskapensHersker]

you should share the Patches for this! :D

[mrgibson]

dude, this is so f*cking awesome!

[54NT14G0]

awesome, the main melody is a little crowded, but somehow it sounds very clear, good work on the mixing I guess?

[ZeppelinRules]

That is awesome.

[RasputinsVision]

sounds like paul gilberts spaceship when band comes in...scarifed.

[SorryArchitect]

May seem like a stupid question, but do you use the Ensemble live as well as recording?

[Amusiastudio]

reminds me alittle bit of the band Sieges Even

[shizzlinphil]

Really awesome playing. Just a quick question if you don't mind, what are the two other things in your rack other than the AXE fx? Thank you :)

[barwny]

@shizzlinphil I've got exactly the same question. :) And a few more: 1. how did you record the guitar? direct from Axe FX through USB or is there a bit more complicated signal path? 2. do you use Axe FX in live setups? And if yes, what is the signal path? Straight to PA or are you using some kind of a power amp or maybe somthing else?

[lotr589]

sweet stuff! What else is in that rack?

[OverclockedBand]

Nice song!

[eatthemoon13]

Ive never used a pre amp. Do i just hook it up to my cab? Like a head? Or do i need to run it through a head?

[IllusionaryMind8]

Wow, this sound so fresh, great playing!

[drunkpescado]

that kicked ass!

[StevieBigFace]

Dude, really nice! awesome riffs and tasty drum programing too!

would sound really thick and nice with a bass in the mix tho, i literally cannot fault anything else, awesome work.

[coryjuba]

Two bands I suggest you listen to are Seventh Wonder and Suspyre. You would really appreciate their playing! Cheers.

[DoV690]

This is just awesome! Great piece of music and great tone man!

[StEaLtHpenguins64]

what kind of guitar is that? I can tell it is 7 strings though :)



[fretboardmaster1]

@StEaLtHpenguins64 It's a Music Man BFR JP7 John Petrucci signature guitar, Very nice to play

[HillaryHitler]

Very Nice

[FreddieCheese]

sounds great, what program do u use for recording?

[Taobandofficial]

@FreddieCheese Thank you! I use Logic pro 9

[gearslut69]

@Taobandofficial Can you downtune this guitar without messing up the trem bridge? Are they as complicated as floyd roses?

[Taobandofficial]

@gearslut69 yes you can !

[Guitarmazdur]

this sounds insane.

not to mention MUSIC MAN GUITARS FTW!!!!

[TheOtherSun]

what song is this

[Taobandofficial]

@TheOtherSun this a original song of my band The Astral Observatory the song is not named yet :)

[TheOtherSun]

@Taobandofficial that motif from 1:00 on is fantastic. reminds me of exivious

[Taobandofficial]

@TheOtherSun thank you! and exivious ? is that a band? if it is Ill definitely check it

[Jagstaldincola]

@Taobandofficial exivious rocks! it has members from cynic and stuff. really neat! check 'em out!

[Guitareben]

@Taobandofficial Exivious are amazing :D

[NoaOno]

Nice Axe FX II you got there! But what's even more nice is your playing. And your composition!

[mynameandy13]

if i could get an 8 string Ernie ball Music man, i would die......But THEY DON'T MAKE THEM..... :(

[buchanan012]

Nice Samus cameo

[Taobandofficial]

@buchanan012 I was waiting for a comment mentioning Samus! gotta love Metroid <3

[SwtZombieJesus]

YOU HAVE ONE OF HUGHES STANDEES!

[Taobandofficial]

@SwtZombieJesus haha I got it at the NY Comicon ! :)

[gmgcfilm]

[TMF58]

Nice, Samus on top of your setup.

Anyway, that was great. Awesome tone, awesome guitar, awesome playing.

[InsideDating]

What gear are you using?

[Taobandofficial]

@InsideDating The amp modeler is the AxeFx II which you can check it out at fractalaudio my audio interface is an Apogee ensemble the top unit is my Furman power conditioner and the guitar im using is a Ernie Ball MusicMan JP 7 BFR

Hope that helps

-Ricky

[TheDivineWings22]

Awesome tone man. Can't wait to get one of these. How did you record this?

[armanrei]

We have the exact same hands, wtf.

[Taobandofficial]

@armanrei LOL just watched your videos haha kinda scary to be honest haahah

[allhailpantera123]

Not my kind of tone, but the composition here is amazing. Great stuff.

[schlagdog]

That's one expensive 4 space rack.

[waynesworld91]

Do you have this patch on the Axe forums? I'd love to have the clean patch for my JP7 and the one you use for your sweeps, very nicely done, I hope to support your band!

[Whyrendog]

Beautiful clean sounds.  Great tones and playing!

[bigbassalex]

Bah super good.

[Taobandofficial]

@bigbassalex Thank You Alex! check out my dream theater solo cover on my channel :)

[petruccirocks02]

Amazing playing and tone man! Thats gotta be one of the most killer tops I've seen on a BFR yet.

[Taobandofficial]

@petruccirocks02 Thanks man!!! on my Bands Facebook page you can take a closer look its beautiful!!!!! the link is on the video description check it out !

[OzoneJunkie]

Sorta repeating here what I said on ss.org - great music - beginning clean part rocks, and section at 1:00 is very catchy - stuck in my head (in a good way) after one listen.

Absolutely love the tones you're getting too. Very nice, clear, bright, distinct. Perfect, I'd say.

Can't wait to get my II (I have an AFX Ultra, and that will be sold as soon as the II comes in :)

Keep it up man. Great stuff.

[Taobandofficial]

@OzoneJunkie Thank you man! I appreciate your support so much and please let me know when you upload some clips of your axe II I would love to hear different sounds of this wonderful piece of gear!

[FuneralFragz]

sounds amazing as usual.

thanks for sharing your time and effort.

be well homie.

[Taobandofficial]

@FuneralFragz Thank you! for your time!!!! ;)

[psychostew911]

fucking sick dude, you're one lucky/rich guy! haha

[scalethesummit]

nice playing man!

[Taobandofficial]

@scalethesummit HOLY SHIT!!! just read this!!! BIG FAN of your band <3 thanks for the comment!!!

[scalethesummit]

@Taobandofficial awesome dude, thank you, glad to hear that! I stumbled on this from the Fractal Facebook page, the song is really good as well! reminded me of Ron Jarzombek. Keep up the good work!

[fdelhierrotalbot]

Hasta la victoria siempre ricky

[Taobandofficial]

@fdelhierrotalbot jaajaj yeahhhhhhh Fabian!!! 

[skc688]

Awesom tone and playing.

[TheWhitmore]

Teach me to be as incredible as you!

[cowcrusher]

Oh ya forgot to say I love your style/sound, very awesome!

[cowcrusher]

How would you compare an axe 2 to a real amp? I'm almost thinking about just tearing down my rig and trying to get one.

[Taobandofficial]

@cowcrusher Go for it man you wont regret it !!! It cant get any more realistic than the axefx II imo

[cowcrusher]

@Taobandofficial I love you and hate you =P, btw I didn't realize you were the guy from 7string.org till I noticed the other clip I saw you post on the forums awhilea go. I guess I may be posting some feeler threads soon. The only "thing" is my carvin legacy resale sorta sucks and I do like the amp a lot so I'd feel bad selling it for a lot less than I paid haha.

[Taobandofficial]

@cowcrusher trust me YOU WONT REGRET IT ;) and thank you man!!! and yes I lurk a lot around that forum not to mention it is my favorite forum too great people over there!

[masymasmusic]

YEAAAAAH!!

[guitarDouchebaggery]

[cristop001]
