This is just a quick-n-dirty recording. I was playing with the AxeFX II Fox ODS factory preset and it reminded me of the lead tone on Games People Play by Alan Parsons Project. Found a backing track online and threw a few lead tracks on it in Sonar. Guitar used was a PRS Johnny Hiland sig. I...

I recorded this earlier today to demo a patch I downloaded at the Fractal Audio forum. I wish I could remember who posted it. I'm really diggin' it! I was playing along with a Pink Floyd / Comfortably Numb backing track and remembered most of the solo from, well.... I can't remember - it's been...

I'm a new Axe-FX user - just received a new Standard model this past Wednesday. I found the initial learning curve quick and painless. I was building my first preset within the an hour of unboxing it, and using some deep editing parameters to good effect by hour four. I'm using Axe-Edit but I...

I received my Axe-FX Standard today and so far I'm really impressed! With the 4 hours or so that I've had to work with it today I can say that it is exceeding my expectations so far! I did start out going through the presets and I found the ones I played impressive. I detoured quickly and...

A few weeks ago I traded a recently received (and traded for) SC245 for a Johnny Hiland. The SC245 was a completely blind trade as I had never played one prior to the decision. The Hiland OTOH was a safe bet - one I had played and found to me a great fit for me. I've had the Hiland in hand for a...

During the last few weeks I've had quite a few new things come, quite a few changes in gear. I won a Ceriatone Prinzetone head in a raffle, traded my Fuchs amp for a PRS SC245 Artist, bought an Egnater Tweaker combo, thraded the SC245 for a PRS Johnny Hiland model, and just received the...

I ran across a similar thread on another forum with lots of great pics posted and thought I'd start one here (didn't find one using the search tool). If you have a group shot of some or all of your guitars please post 'em. Here's a picture of all my stringed things: Left to Right: Pre-Fender...

I've been posting regarding my ups and downs with my recently required SC245 Artist (mostly ups by far) and have come to the conclusion that the shorter scale length just isn't a good fit for me. This isn't a huge loss as I have all the bases covered with my USACG 'super Strat' and my '88 PRS...

...and for whatever inspiration may have been drawn from in designing the SC245 these two guitars are more different than similar. Many years ago I went through a few Les Paul's, ultimately walking away without finding much inspiration in them. To be fair these guitars were late 70's through...

...but it's a total rock machine first IMO! I mean everything rock too - from early blues influenced classic rock to thrash metal. It's by no means limited to this side of its personality but it's so much fun to play loud and overdriven! This may well be the best rock guitar I've ever owned. The...

I arrived home from work this evening to find a UPS package waiting for me - sweet!!! I've been looking forward to this for a week now though to be honest I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I made the trade decision for this guitar with my eyes mostly (though I was looking for a short scale...

For the last five years (well, up until November 2009) I've been using a hand tuned and factory modded Fuchs ODS-50 1x12 combo as my primary amp (and only amp aside from a Crate Power Block as an emergency backup). Since acquiring my Mesa Mark V at the beginning of November 2009 my Fuchs has...

My brother has a previously modded Marshall JMP50 Lead & Bass - it's a great sounding amp! The mods have all been reversed though the chassis has been drilled and the head box has a hole in the side where someone had installed a fan. Since the chassis already had a hole drilled we added a few...

...and I'm very happy with the way it's working out! I have an older Boss SE-70 processor that I use 100% wet in the parallel effects loop of my Fuchs ODS-50 combo and it sounds excellent for delay, chorus, and reverb. When I received my Mesa Mark V combo last Monday I moved the SE-70 over to...

I received my Mesa Mark V combo a couple of hours ago in minty clean condition in original factory packing material and with all accessories, original documents, receipt, hang tags, the whole package. I also received a transferable warranty with the amp! I've been tinkering with it and playing...
