Axe-Fx Cabinet Test - 4x12 cabs (axefx axe fx)

Here's the Axe-Fx STD with ONE AMP simulation played thru ALL the 4x12 cabinets sequentially. I'm using a USA Lead 1 amp sim with a Washburn WM526 + EMG's direct into Sonar 6. A little delay and a touch of reverb. Strings are a little old too....

Sorry for the repeating riff - had to do something to make it uniform to compare.

N-JOY.......

Good way to do the comparisons by playing identical pasages on each.  Thanks for the answer to my first question. I would imagine that even just using the same amp, like in this demo, but with the Recto2 on one side and say the Brit 4 x 12 on the other, they might compliment each other and give better dimension and depth to the overall sound. Have you, or can you post a demo of that. I realize that this medium is very limited for the actual sound.

@jackbad2 I'd love to go nutts and post tons of stuff. I have no freakin' time anymore!!!! I got the real amps too and want show an A/B comparo. I have learned this and I believe it is fact: "it REALLY is in YOUR technique - the TONE you get is a reflection of MOSTLY your technique. Finger pressure is a HUGE factor". You can sound good with just about ANYTHING. The feel you get from an amp is a different story - the better the feel, the better you play as you feed off of that.

@Voodutube Thanks for your response. It is most appropriate. As you obviousely know, as you can "Pull" the sound out of tubes with your own articulation and technique, is what I think everyone is referring to as the "Feel" that is related to tube amps. Is the Axe FX able to respond to your technique similar to tubes, in your opinion?

[Voodutube]

@jackbad2 I say yes it does to an extent, but the tone out of the axe-fx is super consistent and "ideal" - like it is almost too even. Hard to explain. With a tube amp, you have to be on your toes to squeeze out good consistent tones, but the axe is more forgiving where it just always sounds like you are "on" - most would se this as a good thing. People understand the work that goes into playing a tube amp and when you play the axe, it is like you won the right to stop working so hard!!!! :0)

Can you run two independent chains in parallel with two different amps, Cabs, etc. for some real depth plus the regular effects?

[Voodutube]

@jackbad2 Yes - two totally independent amp paths - 2 amps two cabs two sets of effects - all panned wherever or jump back and forth - two amps into one cab, one amp into two cabs. One amp gets phaser one doesn't - one signal chain is clean one totally distorted. Thats just the amp paths - you can branch into 4 parallel signal paths from there. Literally ANY combination in ANY order!!!!! You could run reverb into a cab into a phaser into a delay then into an amp if you wanted.

Really interesting demo. Also ordered my ultra from Fractal, coming on Friday. Really excited!

[21fretsalute]

I thought the 25w would be the greenbacks, RECTO V30s, and the 75w or BRIT would be T-75s, but then they have GREEN/V30/T75, as well as a JCM2000 which would be T75s also... what gives?

got it direct from fractal audio - sent the next day. never looked back....
