It's all about how you dial it in Pat. I can't remember what firmware I started with, but it was definitely before 7 and that VH clip I did was before 7 as well. Whatever fizz you hear was dialed in by the user...mentoneman":3nsrp7cw said:

Just not even necessary... no other boxes are necessary to make the Axe sound warm and tube-like... go dial one up yourself and you'll be dissuaded of the need for other stuff to make it sound killer..mentoneman":v4zl2q0a said:maybe some of the brittle culprit but i'm not buying that argument in general.
i can use the CHEAPEST cabs and power on great tube amp front end and make it sound warm and tube-like. but it doesn't work the other way around.
maybe a valvulator in the loop of the axefx would help. my friend recently picked up this UA preamp:
and it turned her taylor guitar tone from thin and brittle into something wonderful.
one of these in the loop of the axefx, or maybe a fractal/atomic designed interface box like a dumblelator loop box, to insert in the loop of the axefx, may be just what the doctor ordered.
In my experience this is true of any given piece of gear. Most guitarists don't dial in tones I particularly like. Not the gear's fault...danyeo":14ka79a4 said:
I don't get this either I have some old Telefunken mic pres that I had taken out of a board and put in a lunch box type enclosure and when I record with the Axe it's digi out into the Motu and I'm done.sah5150":cekmxfc9 said:Just not even necessary... no other boxes are necessary to make the Axe sound warm and tube-like... go dial one up yourself and you'll be dissuaded of the need for other stuff to make it sound killer..mentoneman":cekmxfc9 said:maybe some of the brittle culprit but i'm not buying that argument in general.

I don't have any digital ins on my current recording system so I just use the analog outs to my Apogee AD-16X and I'm very happy with the results...degenaro":2fo2g1si said:I don't get this either I have some old Telefunken mic pres that I had taken out of a board and put in a lunch box type enclosure and when I record with the Axe it's digi out into the Motu and I'm done.sah5150":2fo2g1si said:Just not even necessary... no other boxes are necessary to make the Axe sound warm and tube-like... go dial one up yourself and you'll be dissuaded of the need for other stuff to make it sound killer..mentoneman":2fo2g1si said:maybe some of the brittle culprit but i'm not buying that argument in general.

I actually messed around with it set clean with a Fuzz in front yesterday and it was working out real well.sah5150":259fbu28 said:

Yeah, i think that was it. Those sound good. So, tired of the HT-5 yet?
I'd like to pick one up sometime. Seems like a great little amp.

I wouldn't have bought it the second time seing that you didn't dig it the first time around.donbarzini":19g3mcy5 said:* velcro-fly *":19g3mcy5 said:He's talking to "Doom Bringer Barzini"
I want a magic do it all in one box as much as the next guy but until I hear exactly what I'm looking for, I'm not going to shell out for another one only to be disappointed yet again.

Scott Peterson said the new firmware brought tears to his eyes so I bought it again.
