  • You should buy a real Mark IV. The real amp sounds better than the Axe.

  • @squirttilithurts axe-fx can nail the mark IV tone quite similar, take a look to axe forum for some comparison between the real one with the axe one. Anyway in this vid i play with a patch good to my ears, not a mark replica tone. Axe can handle more and more amp tone and it cost something less than one tube amp. To me is a great deal. Amps+cabs+effects, it can play as a preamp, an effect processor and ready to go for recording session. All this stuff in only 2 rack unit.

  • Excellent playing and tone, Mind sharing the patch?

  • @boardboy1914 thank you  :), i can send you this patch with no problem, send me a pm with you personal mail. There's one thing to remember, the patch could not sound just the video recording, 'cause cables, pickups and personal touch can modify the overall tone. At least you can view the patch and learn how it's made.

  • Thats a great job. Are you still diggin the Az-Fx Utra? I have a buddy getting one soon. Any critisisms?

  • @shelbywilliford thank you for the kind words :) , The Axe-Fx is insanely amazing, so, buy it without regrets and don't forget a midi pedalboard+a midi interface for saving patches, upgrade firmwares, live patch tweaks and so on. cheers

  • There are a few things that people fail to realize when giving their opinions about the axe fx. One of them is that the axe fx is a solution, not a substitute. Whoever thinks the axe is a substitute for tube amps, this person got it totally wrong. When you need to travel light, need to get killer tone without getting evicted, and/or not being able to buy 7 high-end tube amps to end up using only one. If you have the financial means, and an adequate space to crank them up and record, go for it...

  • @pesciro Amen. I've heard a few now and they sound really good as they are. But it's not the real thing by any stretch. That being said, the travel light thing can't be underestimated. Truly worth it in that respect.

  • sweet man, nice tone! (y)

  • i can have better sound with my legacy and only a dd7 delay but it played very very well....good!

  • All of you morons who keep saying the same old tired shite about how digital can never touch the "heart and soul" inherent in a tube amp should just shut the fuck up and play an Axe-Fx II. Put your money where your pansy ass mouth is: I will bet you 1000.00 dollars that you will not be able to tell the difference between my plexi sound and the real thing - any takers wankers?

  • nice! another lefty. we are a dying breed my friend

  • Superb effort my friend! It's also great to see a fellow leftie who also managed to get the Ibanez Jem Prestige! Ain't it amazing? Check out my own video to see me play the Star Wars Throne Room theme on mine, but with about 60 multi-tracked guitar overdubs! :o)

  • in the first few seconds i thought you were going to play since i dont have you by guns n roses

  • @RasputinsVision i cant either but i still "Liked" the vid hahaha

  • 2 peeps can't afford a Fractal unit......

  • outta tune
