Hello Mickael

marc from Paris

it's a real pleasure to learn with your tutorials

at 0.55 in the video, you mention main effect are fet drive into amp model : can you explain : is it with the axe FX ii or is it with something else ?

Sorry, this is the beginning for me regarding effects; so i'd like to be sure that for this song, axe FX II was the only material used

best regards

marc

@marcb95000

Best to post this question on our new forum: forumdotu2guitartutorialsdotco­m. Link on my channel page. Short answer is, yes, the FET drive is a model in the Axe II.

where you found the video of saturday night live?

[U2GuitarTutorials]

@roscaification

I recorded it on my DVR and used Elgato Video Capture to transfer the file from my DVR to an H.264 compressed file on my computer. Whenever I record a show I want to keep, I just hook up the Elgato device to my DVR, play the show and record it. Works great.

Thx! See Part 15 for Zoo TV version.

@givvenn:

I use a midi track in Logic to send PC and CC commands to the Axe-Fx II through the USB cable. Logic sends commands just like a foot controller. Logic is my automated Dallas!

Michael, you're simply awesome! Congratulations! You've helped me a lot! Thank you!

[roscaification]

and I could not pass the video from Saturday Night Live?

[Predator72]

Great job as usual!! I wish I had that automated Dallas Logic thing :) By the way, I think The Edge uses the whammy bar or something during the Fuzz Pi section that starts at 3.24 in your tutorial. It's either that, another effect, or he just moves the finger on the fret to get a kind of "spooky" guitar sound, like a theremin. It can be heard on the Sheffield gig and some others
