(R)evolution of Rock Guitar-Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra Preamp/Effects processor-Part I -Ketil Strand

(R)evolution of Rock Guitar - Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra Preamp/Effects processor - Part I -
Played by Ketil Strand.
This is a new version of my "Evolution of Rock Guitar" videos, which is also a demo of my new Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx Ultra Pre-amp/Effects processor. Most of the tracks are the same as in the original version, but I've taken away a few and added some new ones instead.
This time I used the Axe-Fx Ultra exclusively for all guitar sounds and effects and recorded it direct in Cubase, no extra "tricks" done in the mix or anything, it's all coming from the Axe-Fx (except the backing tracks of course..) But I'm using many different guitars as shown and mentioned in the video. I've also mentioned some of the amp types and effects from the Axe-Fx that I'm using on the different tracks, if anybody should need specific details about specific parameters and stuff, please contact me (the Axe-Fx has thousands of parameters to adjust..).

You just sold me onto the Axe Fx. Thank you :) get a job in sales/marketing haha

[rednebb]

@him8913 Thank you, cool! No, I'd rather continue being a guitar teacher and a guitarist, but it's fun doing demos, and it's great to know that people are actually buying the Axe-Fx because of my videos ;-)

[virgult]

Your video is so good, everybody actually stopped caring about the AxeFX and enjoyed listening. :) Your selection of songs is like a music history class.

[rednebb]

@virgult Thanks, I appreciate that!

I thought Layla was recorded with a Princeton?

@alphasxsignal As far I can recall, all patches were based on factory presets, but I tweaked them a bit, some more than others. The old Ultra model has now been replaced by the new improved Axe-Fx II, and fractalaudo release upgrades and new firmware for this regularly. Some of the presets can be used directly for specific artists or songs (the preset names will mostly give them away..), and on the excellent fractalaudio users forum there's a section for sharing and requesting patches.

@musicrepairs Maybe they don't like my hairdo.. ;-)
