Ralph,
IMHO I dont think you need to defend anything. Fuck what other people think your reasons are for being honest about what you heard. You are not alone in your assesment. I have heard more than just you saying that he Axe doesnt live up to the all the praise and thats coming from people who have owned it.

I'm sure its a nice unit but for me I dont think it would be my cup of tea. Im not a dig into a bunch of parameters and tweak kind of guy. That said all the talk did make me wonder what it sounded like just out of curiosity but in the end Im sure it wouldnt be me and I know it wouldnt scratch my itch like a tube amp can.

Anway, there will be some who dig the Axe and defend thier purchase and there will be some who dont think it's all that and either A) keep it to themselves in order to not rain on other epople's parade or B) those who will speak opeenly and honestly about it no matter all the praise for it. You are the later and I respect you for that as much I as I respect the guy who digs it.

Wassup!!
Thanks Ejecta, I guess part of me wanted validation lol I won't mention what the other part of me is saying

Jim,
Pass me a cold one!!

But people... whats really important here is that I have a fridge full of beer and tomorrow off.

I'm enjoying a Sam Adams Octoberfest right now and watching the Broncos/Raiders. Hey, I'm out in Canton Ohio now for work training, i probably drove past your area on the way out. I gotta get some shut eye soon though.

I know where Ralph is coming from, due to many taking Ralph's advice about gear, I damn near owe him $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in consulting fees myself, some people will question his stance on the axe-fx and flat out ask why so negative about it. People want to know what it was that he did not like because so many listen to him an ask for tone advice.

Sup Scott!

you don't owe me a thing, to tell you teh truth, i think I owe you !!!
But that was a part of what was going on behind the scenes. I guess I should have taken Ed's advice and not given a crap lol

Probably a med to high gain clip that isn't recorded direct using a guitar speaker cab

Not that I want to convice you but...Celestion Blue miked with a 609...

Dude, I luv ya man...but there isn't too much gearwise we see eye to eye on. And that's fine. But remember the Reeza/Flexi set-up...[/quote]

Ed,

You know that I love you to death, that goes without saying and I agree that we don't like a lot of stuff gearwise but that Emma and fulltone/flexi rig was the shiznit!! I Loved that sucker! We also love Letekro's tone to... So there is our commong ground

With that said, and what I've been saying since day 1 is that I think that Id like the axe-FX piped through a tube poweramp and out to speaker cabs rather then direct. Judging by your clip that you posted, I know for a fact that I couldn't get away with that sound with a POD.



and BTW, I just got back from picking up the Guitar Player October addition.
Who loves ya? I do!!

~R~[/quote]
Simply put I MUCH prefer the Axe with the VHT power amp that clip was when I first got it and still used the MosValve. Shit the VHT thing has me thinking about getting a Pitbull Classic
Anyways, that said I've gotten my fave gain rhythm tone with the Axe direct...which is about midway through this thing...

As for the GP...I went and bought 7 yesterday should seen the girl on the register. Whatcha need all these for? I wear them out fast...

 

[thiswaythatway]

I agree with Gainfreak and I owned the unit. Nothing against Cliff but it wasnt my cup of tea. When I posted this before I got flamed to death by the Fractual Hit Squad

Brad

So when did we all start to loose the ability to argue about gear. I dunno shit about hit squad...I dig it, you didn't...it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

Ed, you know you are not the hit squad though. YOu debate, throw clips up to prove your point and you are done. You know what the hit squad is...........the word destroys is used for any musical piece of gear, any other modeler is a toy, I threw all my amps in the garbage, keep your amps if you like the looks, etc...................

I can think of one group of gear fans who always describe their gear as crushing and destroying everything Hey, it's fun to be excited about new gear though it does get annoying.

I'm ampless until Thursday and work 0600-1400 Wed until Sunday. But if you think you want to stop by PM me. If I'm home you're more than welcome to hang out and take a load off. I'm about an hour north of the PA turn pike.

But this is why I asked why he cared, we all respect Ralphie...well I know you and I do at least.
And I don't think he has to validate his opinion. He doesn't like...great, means one thing...Ralphie doesn't dig it.
Look at amps, you can chase out of the room with Dumble ODS style amps...

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Who needs a cold one?

I'll take one bro!!!

 

[stratotone]

Hell, I set all my amps on fire after getting the axe-fx!




























ok... maybe just my Fab Fox.












ok... maybe it actually caught on fire by itself. And it wasn't even plugged in!

I do Scott, however I don't like when folks don't dig something and keep mumm because some contingent is smacking them down. It's just opinions anyways.
Funny how folks are willing to throw player's under the bus before bitching about gear though.

If you stayed here for a week you would not miss your setup too much I think, well maybe your PCM

09 I am hunting modded plexi type amp so we will be even after that 10-12 call consult

Credit cards are evil.

[Chubtone]

We also love Letekro's tone to... So there is our commong ground

What?!!!!!! Le Tekro used an Axe-FX for all those classic kick ass tones of his that I worship? Awesome! I'm going to go order one right now! Thanks for the recommendation Ralph. I owe you brother. I can't spend the $2k fast enough because Ralph guaranteed me Le Tekro tones out of the Axe Fx. Man I am stoked!

This is so true and I dont get it either Ed. I also dont get this "behind the scenes". Why not just be open with your opinion? I'm sure some are trying to aviod pissing someone off. Im just a person who believes in giving out as much info as possible because if it were me I want to know good and bad about something. I'm sure my voicing my opinions here and there has made some think I'm an ass and I sure I come across that way at times but I cant help what others think. I know Im not trying to start shit.... Im just discussing gear. So I just shrug off those who judge others motives as people who dont have a clue, just like those who were saying Ralphie was just dissing the latest and greatest for the sake of doing so.

Dude, you are on a roll lately

 

[Gainzilla]

I guess for the same reason why you post clips after people have negative things to say about the unit


In all honesty, I just wanted people to see why I said what I said about the unit.

There will one coming our way in the very near future Bro and it will spend some quality time in the HOM Lab, lets see what we can come up with after 60 beers and hours of tweak...
