ya know, i hate to say it, but.....i don't think anybody really used the std/ultra to it's full potential. but i plan to. i ain't paying $2500+ for the version II, that's for sure. and i don't think the std/ultra are old news. coming from an eleven rack, this thing kills!
i'm just hoping...
ok, here is the Singtall Axe-fx Superpack download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/562 ... erpack.zip
this is my first stab at presets, so it's free to the public for now. at some point the superpack will be available by donation only. if you already have my eleven rack superpack...
he is using a peavey cabinet with g12k-85's, which have been replaced by the g12k-100's.....which don't sound quite the same, but they are close.
the biggest problem i'm having is dialing in the highs. most axe-fx starting points have so much high end that my ears get fried easily while i'm...
on the black flag clip, the only thing i did differently is roll off some highs and lows. listening to the faith, hope, love cd it sounds a little darker like the highs were subdued a bit compared to the gretchen clip. i think i'm close enough to call it a decent preset. no one has any...
my presets are still a work in progress for sure....but i plan on getting there soon. Ty Tabor himself is using an axe-fx ultra and said he is getting the old tones from it, he just isn't sharing the presets. once i get the presets as close as i can, i will email him over at alien bean...
ok, i'm working on king's x tone using my axe-fx ultra and it sure isn't an easy tone to get dialed in. i ain't there yet, but i made a clip of my progress so i can refer back and see what works and what doesn't. excuse the rushed playing and sloppiness...
i had pretty much given up on perfecting that tone, now this thread has me wanting to try for that tone again....without buying all of the gear.
i just got an axe-fx ultra....time to put it to the test.
i had the gsp1101 with control pedal....got tired of carrying a rack, so i got the rp1000. wanted some tube tone thrown in there, so i added a blackstar ht-5 with cabinet. bought an eleven rack because it was cheap, used it in a rack with powered speakers for the last couple years. just...

not a shoot out, but a chronicling of my search for tone while learning the axe-fx ultra.
one clip is the eleven rack "Singtall Krunch" preset, which took me a long time to perfect. the other clip is my first try at that same tone using the...
i have a couple 2-12" cabs loaded with some 1986 G12T-75's that just sound smooth as can be. breaking them in helps. most heads i've tried sound good through them, but Marshall variants sound the best through them. my blackstar head absolutely kills with those speakers, where my Carvin V3...
i watched that same video, then went out and bought that exact grey carpet covered stack.....only to find that it sounded nothing like the video.
enter BFG amplification. Brian basically walked me through some mods to get that tone, or at least get me more into the JCM territory. i...
i really can't believe how good this simple setup sounds. you could have easily posted a description of tons of high dollar gear and played April fool on this one.
the guitar tone surprised me too.....i thought that brand was some beginner junk, i need to read up some more.
i like the sound of the TSS switched to the right better. the other positions sounded dark on my speakers. of course it could be eq'd plenty in post.
i emailed Randall to find out where i can get the 20 watt version.
can you make a video showing the tone control features?
i have no clue about the axe-fx....actually, i was getting ready to buy one. i was hoping someone would chime in and tell me that my assumption was not right. whew!
i was reading through the release notes for the latest axe-fx II firmware, and i couldn't believe what i read. here is what caught my eye:
"Implemented “Multi-point Iterative Matching and Impedance Correction” technology (MIMICTM P.A.F.) to amp models. MIMIC applies analytic signals to an...
