Axe topic?

[jcj]

Dude....I'm just havimg some fun, I promise I'm not that serious about anything.

 

[Sixstring]

Talking shit about Cliff is silly. One of the nicest, most talented guys around.

I killed my youtube channel, but I figured I'd throw this back up for sport....flame away on the Axe Fx ...please feel free to post YOUR amp videos or clips that sound better than the Axe, and I'll do my best to match or beat them (Dave if you're reading this, it might take a minute to match that Jose....or not...might have to break out my big guns) ......but the rest of you, feel free to have at it ...

All in good fun.....bring it fellas

Edited:

BTW....the good fun thing stops when you run your mouth without backing it up.....Some of the people who've talked shit sbout the Axe should be embarrased

Nice clip man...!

 

[tweed]

the dry clip is keeling me...

The only time I talk shit about the AxeFX is in jest with the fan boys. Otherwise, I merely state that it didn't sound as good or feel the same as a good tube amp. If that is "talking shit", then I'm not sure what to say. If every amp builder pulled forums or threads because someone said their amp didn't sound good to them we'd be left to discuss beer, tits, and politics....either that or every thread would merely be, "Yeah!! X amp rocks balls!!!" Fuck that. For an amp I'm interested in, I want to see people's negative opinions on them because most of the time, you'll get more truth out of the negative comments.

I bought the AxeFX to replace my rig and have a direct recording solution. I thought modeling had gotten good enough. In terms of the average listener, it probably is good enough. In the end, it's going to come down to how the owner feels about it. For me, it just didn't quite reach the sound and feel of a good tube amp. In all fairness, that "good tube amp" can do it's thing better than the AxeFX, but the "good tube amp" can't do ALL the other amps better than the AxeFX. That should go without saying, I suppose.

As for the SLO, I have clips to back it up but I'd have to go and chop wav files up and upload them somewhere for comparison. I'm not sure what the point would be. The only clips I have of my old SLO all are in song contexts (with some delay) and all my AxeFX clips are by themselves trying to match the tones....with an entirely different guitar. So there are several reasons (or excuses) as to why I couldn't get the same tone and feel. Even if we overlook those reasons, the ultimate fallback for AxeFX users has no comeback...."you can't dial it in right!!" So if that is the case, what is the point of any comparison?

In the end, I couldn't get the AxeFX to replace my old SLO. I tweaked and tweaked, because I missed that amp. It was just not as warm and the lead tone was thinner without the magic going on. I knew that was going to happen when I bought it and I thought I'd be ok with it. I wasn't. But hey, I couldn't dial it in right, right? See there is little point to posting comparisons because the AxeFxers have the ultimate trump card...user error.

Truth! Also who's talking shit about Cliff?

Indeed...consider at the thread topic.

Ok...really....I was just having some fun...I'm not an Axe "fan boy". I like it, and I like my tube amps

I'm sure Cliff just doesn't want any extra drama and I can't say I blame him

It's amusing that a tool is so polarizing. I like it.... if you don't, that's cool by me

I never heard of Cliff and certainly wouldnt talk smack about him if he created this equipment.
I merely poke fun at myself and other members here for some cheap laughs.

The drama of someone not thinking the AxeFX replaces tube amps? Yeah, somehow, someway, that turns into drama. Not sure why Cliff would care though. It's a piece of gear, much like a Diezel, a Friedman amps, Suhr guitars and amps, Egnaters, Bogners, Wizards, Scumback speakers, Elmwood amps, Cameron amps, DAR amps, Carol-Ann amps, Homebrew electronics, FJA amp mods, Voodoo amps, Gutierrez Guitars, Trailer Trash Pedalboards, and Indie Guitars. Just to name a few random manufacturers.

Some people like it, some people don't. It's not the end of the world if they don't.

No one has pointed out the "shit to be cleaned up" yet.

I don't know man, this comment would seem to suggest you're not entirely cool with me not liking it.

But it's cool, I take this stuff in fun. The AxeFX debate is almost as fun as discussing politics.

 

[Rogue]

I never heard of Cliff....

He's the guy that built the AxeFX. Pretty revolutionary, really, and he works constantly improving his product. Hats off to him for doing it. It's the king of the digital domain, IMO. But, it has it's weaknesses.

It seems like a great product......
BUT........(Here we go)
I dont think it would work for me. (waiting for the world to crash)

But there is a lot of things wouldnt work for me but that dont mean its not a great product.
Now re-post that original thread dammit!!

Ok...I'll give you that on a second read, the "running the mouth" thing might sound like I'm a shit throwing lunatic, but in reality, I was just being a smart ass.

I have no idea what "shit" needed to be cleaned up, I was as confused as everybody else about that.

I really hope no one is taking this seriously.......
Its like the "My amp can beat up your amp thing......"
I just enjoy watching the clips.
To me if it sounds good.....it is good.
Play with a tin can and chicken wire for all I care.
As long as that tin can and wire can be Modded and TWEAKED!
