Er litt intresert i en slik Axe-FX. Hvordan er oppkoblingen til den, altså hvordan kobler man den til for å få lyd? For jeg ser at det ligner på et slags forsterkerhode eller noe lignende..
@NicolaiFre Tusen takk! Den fungerer som en hvilken som helst annen preamp/prosessor, den må kobles til en mixer, et PA-anlegg eller forsterker av et eller annet slag. Den er designet for å gi best resultat når den kobles direkte til en mixer/PA-anlegg, men den kan også kobles til en vanlig gitarforsterker f.eks, eller forsåvidt hva som helst, den låter bra nesten uansett..
To be honest I don't have that much interest in the Axe-Fx, it's out of my budget. But I've watched all parts just to see what your gonna play next. Not sure that the Axe-Fx is the star here ;-)
Wow....amazing demo. And...amazing playing. You covered so many great styles and hit the tones on the money for each. Great work! Super playing skills....blew me away!
I think it's time Guitar Player magazine did another "Worlds best unknown guitarist" article.
You did a seriously excellent job of demonstrating the panorama of rock guitar and how perfectly the Axe-fx captures those sounds.
I would also like to point out to viewers that this unit also does some insane spacey sounds. So, you get practically any sound you've ever heard and can also create a whole universe of unheard ones. An amazing player and an amazing device.
@rockman627 Hehe. Thanks! I'm just a regular guy from Norway who's been playing and teaching guitar for a long time.. I'm glad you liked this! By the way, my new solo album will be available at cdbaby any day now, it includes 9 of my own compositions, plus a new version of Toccata and Fugue, and my "youtube hit" Canon Rock with a Twist.
Dude, you were the perfect person to demonstrate this Axe-Fx unit! Fractal Audio should be sending you a big check. I've become an instant fan just from watching your demos! Excellent job!
These tones and you're playing are fantastic. I hope someday to be able to play 1/16 as well as you. I'm 42 though so, I'll need another 40 years. Are you running these backing tracks through your DAW? Or is this all in Fractal Axe? Where are you getting your backing tracks. Are you building them up? Also, are you using studio monitors, some sort of FRFR SR approach like the wedge, or poweramp/cab combo? - or all 3?
@littlebigfis Thanks! I think you'll find some of your answers in the full video description. The backing tracks are mostly found on the internet, but I made the Steve Morse backing track myself. All BT's were edited in Cubase. I only used headphones when recording this, but I also have two Atomic Reactor FR tube powered cabinets specially designed for amping the Axe-Fx live.
@LegoBen I'm still waiting for the Fractal Audio special foot controller (it's not ready yet..), so for now I'm not using a midi controller at all, I'm only using a Roland on/off footswitch and a EV-5 expression pedal hooked up to the pedal/footswitch inputs.
@jerry1544 Thank you very much! But then I'd probably get into some trouble with copyright issues and stuff, I guess, and besides, the originals are already available, and they're better..;-)
Wow, Incredible skills. I am going to buy the Axe FX based on this video but I get the feeling you could play through a toaster and make it sound awesome. Thanks.
@lordpeekaboo Thanks! Well, I haven't tried playing through a toaster yet, but actually I like playing through cheap stuff also, trying to make it sound good.. :-) But the Axe-Fx sounds great right away, and it feels like it helps you playing better!
Absolutely amazing stuff (all 4 videos... got my attention with Django at the beginning). Just wondering if you require a preamp/poweramp for the axe-fx, or is it stand alone? Also did you record all your backing tracks? Cheers
@extant09 Thank you! The Axe-Fx works as a preamp, so you can just DI it direct to a mixer/PA system for studio or live use and listen through headphones or through the PA/monitoring system. Or you could get your own personal amplification system, like the Atomic Reactor FR or similar.
aaaah i have been watching your videos for quiet some time now and have been really enjoying it, but you, subconsciously, always reminded me of someone and now I finally rembember; this guy from the dutch Sesamestreet, awesome!
Hei! Dersom du lagrer videoene dine i HD får du med mye bedre lydkvalitet på youtube ;) smart å lagre i 720p 16:9, det er det optimale for youtube, så kan du kjøre på med max lydkvalitet i tillegg...
@bluenose1875 No, the Axe-Fx has no built-in power amp, so you can't plug straight into a speaker cab without an amp inbetween. But you could plug it straight into your stereo or your powered pc speakers, for instance (you might need some special cables or converter plugs for this, though), or plug it into a mixer and use headphones like I'm doing here.
I just wanted to congratulate you on the perfect job you did recording this videos. The tone, the feeling and the execution was perfect to every song. EXCELENT JOB..! What are the drawbacks (not-sound related) you found on it?
There is NO comparison-you are listening to youtube rmember. The Axefx ultra is lightyears ahead of the GT 10 or pro.
Yes I own both a GT 10 and the axe fx ultra. The Gt 10 is my backup for now, collcting dust in the closet. And I cannot believe someone gave this video a thumbs down .Obviously whever did is not a serious guitar player. Because this guy is amazing. and if you doon't think so then you should switch to drums. I have been playing guitar for 30 years BTW
Haha, thanks.. Well, if I try hard, I could find a couple of small drawbacks (not sound-related), but of all the amps, effects and processors I've owned before, this must be the closest to perfect of all of them. But nothing is 100% perfect you know, that's why we who have G.A.S. always want to buy new stuff all the time.. But I seriously feel that the Axe-Fx has cured my desire for new pedals, processors or amps for many years to come. But I'm still gonna buy more guitars, though.. ;-)
hey. i'm interested in buying one of these in a few months. how does i compare to a real amp? do they model closely the the amps they say they replicate?
there's nowhere to try this.. so i would be making a blind purchase, and i don't want it to be a bad purchase.
Well, of course I haven't had the chance to compare it to all the 60+ amps that it's simulating, but I think you could make it sound very close to the original of any amp, if that's what you want. I've owned and tried a lot of different amps and processors before, and many of them were very good, but this machine really takes the prize. For live use, the "guitar amp-like" feeling depends on what you plug it into, personally I find that my Atomic Reactor FR's is a very good match.
I was thinking about buying this unit too but i would like to use a mesa Boogie Power amp what you think about it the boogie would make it sound good?
In my experience it sounds best into some kind of FR (full range flat response) system; like the specially designed Atomic Reactor FR or good quality active monitors, using the Axe-Fx's pwr amp and cab sims, but you could of course also use it with a guitar power amp and guitar cabinets, turning the sims off.
hi.just wanted to know if i can hook this up to a marshall jvm combo throught he line effects.would it sound any good or do i have to with something else.have you tried it through a tube amp?
Yes, of course you can hook it up to your combo's fx loop. But are you thinking to use it only as an effects processor or do you also want to use the amp (+cab/pwr amp) sims? If you want to use only the effects, it should work fine, but if you use amp sims throuhg the fx loop, I'm not sure the results would be that good.. Yes, I've tried it through a regular guitar tube amp, but only plugged straight into the clean channel, not through the fx loop.
Amazing achievement. I started watching this series looking for Axe-Fx clips, but by the end I was more blown away by you're playing - easily the most versatile guitarist I've heard. It's not just that you play all these different styles, but you even capture the feel, tone, and attitude of the original recordings. Nice job.
So are you mostly using the Axe-Fx now? Now that the gear honeymoon's over, is it still something you intend to use?
Thanks! I have used the Axe-Fx on a few gigs and will definitely be using it more in the future, but maybe not for everything. On gigs where I don't need a lot of different sounds and effects, it would be more convenient to just bring one of my other small amps and maybe a few effects pedals. I have a lot of gear, and I like using different gear for different situations.
I must say your not a bad player at all man. Impressed with the tones your getting from the Ultra. How would you think it would match up with a valve amp like a Hughes & Kettner Trilogy?
Thanks! I wouldn't know exactly, haven't tried the Trilogy, but my experience so far is that the Ultra can create almost any guitar tone you can think of..
Yes, I guess you can plug in a synthesizer or any other electric instrument using 1/4" jack, although it's designed specifically for electric guitar, of course.
Thans for the comprehensive answer! I will go for the ultra and a new pair of monitors. The only bad side effect of watching your video is that now I know how many guitars I'll be buying...so I will also need buy a bigger house. Thanks again and greetings from the Netherlands.
Great playing and great tones!! How does this sound when used with a tube amp? I have a pod xt for recording and for use with my amp and I'm really disapointed with it. For serious recording, do you advise the ultra over the regular one? I play a Gibson SG '61 reissue and a Bogner Alchemist 112. Thanks for any advice!
Thanks! You could use it with a regular tube amp, but for live use it works best just going straight into the house mixer/PA, and then using your preferred personal monitoring. Some kind of FR (full range/flat response) system is recommended, like the Atomic Reactor FR (which actually is a FR tube amp) or a(pair of) good active monitors. Or you could just use in-ear monitoring.
For studio work you don't need any amp at all, just go straight into your mixer, soundcard or whatever, and you're ready to go! I haven't tried the Axe-Fx Standard, but I guess it sounds just as good, but the Ultra has more effects and processor power.
Hello man, i see you have lots of guitars and even tough you are using a VARIAX instead of a real Les paul. I think you are a guy who can tell teh benefits of this guitar and how is it compare with the real things? Does it worth the money? Wich are the differences with the real counterparts? Is it the AXE-FX of guitars??
I haven't actually tried all the different models that the Variax is modeling, and I guess it doesn't quite nail them all equally good, but the Variax 300 that I have it's definitely great value for the money, and most of the models sound close enough. A great tool for studio/session work; bring just one Variax instead of ten different guitars (and it's probably also cheaper than only one of those..). The Variax will not replace all my other guitars, though, but it's a really great supplement.
Thank you rednebb your answer is very valuable for me, since i live in Venezuela and cant try one of those VARIAX here. I neither can try the AXE-FX but i´m saving money for buy one, i´m sure i can´t go wrong. You really Rock using the AXE-FX, you left me with the mouth open nailing the Brian May tone! If you have a review about the AXE-FX please let me know it i´ll be very interested in reading it, since you are an expermiented user, and have great ears for getting the right tones.
Hello man. such an incredible skill to play. Have you heard SODA ESTEREO?? An argentin group. You should hear it and tell me about the sounds that guitarrist achieve. For me the master of effects!!
Thanks! If you go to the Fractalaudio forum; "share and request patches" department, you'll find a post from me with a link to where you can download my patches.
Hello Rednebb, i have seen lots of vids of AXE users squeezing its infinit capabilitys, but you really are the man in that area. One question man. Have you tried the FBT Verve?? Is the FR Atomic the best amplification for the AXE? Why??
Thanks! No, I haven't tried the FBT Verve, but I'm sure it's also a very good alternative, along with any other good FR system. I haven't compared the Atomic FR to other alternatives, and they might work equally fine, but the Atomic does the job for me..
Tusen takk ! Det er ikke noen kunst å få bra lyd så lenge man har en Axe-Fx, evt. en liten mixer og et ok innspillingsprogram (jeg bruker Cubase). Axe-Fx-en går "rett i bordet", jeg har ikke gjort noe som helst med lyden bortsett fra å justere volumet.
Good modular effects but distortion are not good!!!

Thans for the comprehensive answer! I will go for the ultra and a new pair of monitors. The only bad side effect of watching your video is that now I know how many guitars I'll be buying...so I will also need buy a bigger house. Thanks again and greetings from the Netherlands.

Great playing and great tones!! How does this sound when used with a tube amp? I have a pod xt for recording and for use with my amp and I'm really disapointed with it. For serious recording, do you advise the ultra over the regular one? I play a Gibson SG '61 reissue and a Bogner Alchemist 112. Thanks for any advice!

Thanks! You could use it with a regular tube amp, but for live use it works best just going straight into the house mixer/PA, and then using your preferred personal monitoring. Some kind of FR (full range/flat response) system is recommended, like the Atomic Reactor FR (which actually is a FR tube amp) or a(pair of) good active monitors. Or you could just use in-ear monitoring.

Great playing. Have you had a chance to compare the Axe Fx to the Eleven Rack?? if so which one does the real deal the best??
Kozmonot91 2 years ago
No, I haven't tried the Eleven Rack.
rednebb 2 years ago
For studio work you don't need any amp at all, just go straight into your mixer, soundcard or whatever, and you're ready to go! I haven't tried the Axe-Fx Standard, but I guess it sounds just as good, but the Ultra has more effects and processor power.

Hello man, i see you have lots of guitars and even tough you are using a VARIAX instead of a real Les paul. I think you are a guy who can tell teh benefits of this guitar and how is it compare with the real things? Does it worth the money? Wich are the differences with the real counterparts? Is it the AXE-FX of guitars??
algajgg 2 years ago
I haven't actually tried all the different models that the Variax is modeling, and I guess it doesn't quite nail them all equally good, but the Variax 300 that I have it's definitely great value for the money, and most of the models sound close enough. A great tool for studio/session work; bring just one Variax instead of ten different guitars (and it's probably also cheaper than only one of those..). The Variax will not replace all my other guitars, though, but it's a really great supplement.
rednebb 2 years ago
Thank you rednebb your answer is very valuable for me, since i live in Venezuela and cant try one of those VARIAX here. I neither can try the AXE-FX but i´m saving money for buy one, i´m sure i can´t go wrong. You really Rock using the AXE-FX, you left me with the mouth open nailing the Brian May tone! If you have a review about the AXE-FX please let me know it i´ll be very interested in reading it, since you are an expermiented user, and have great ears for getting the right tones.

Hello Rednebb, i have seen lots of vids of AXE users squeezing its infinit capabilitys, but you really are the man in that area. One question man. Have you tried the FBT Verve?? Is the FR Atomic the best amplification for the AXE? Why??
algajgg 2 years ago
Thanks! No, I haven't tried the FBT Verve, but I'm sure it's also a very good alternative, along with any other good FR system. I haven't compared the Atomic FR to other alternatives, and they might work equally fine, but the Atomic does the job for me..

Tusen takk ! Det er ikke noen kunst å få bra lyd så lenge man har en Axe-Fx, evt. en liten mixer og et ok innspillingsprogram (jeg bruker Cubase). Axe-Fx-en går "rett i bordet", jeg har ikke gjort noe som helst med lyden bortsett fra å justere volumet.
