Well I was just told you axefx guys will NEVER come close to a good dumble clone or Rubbin Ford tones from "another" site

Not even close

I wonder if those schmoo's can wrap their head around the idea that a lot of great guitar players out there could give 2 shits about trying to sound like Robben Ford.

A lot of great guitars out there don't need 20,000 amp simulations either.

c'mon Carl, you know you've got one at home too.

I'm not distracted by the 40 + amp sims in the box - but absolutely have taken advantage of the 4 -6 drive and clean patches that work perfect for me. I don't have the room anymore to keep that many amps around and this solves some major problems.

Thats actually a pretty good idea as its a tube buffered effects loop to be run in a non buffered situation....my Aiken really would benefit from that if I was going to use the Axe in its loop full time. The Axe works better as a stand alone unit I'm finding - either powered by the VHT or into its own monitor

My buddy just made one. Want me to ask him if he wants to sell it?

Bro, its all about Robben Ford and the tone he gets in those first "Politician" chords. You know, the ones that sound sort of like a wet splattery fart? Thats the Grail

About a year ago I really a/b'ed the real deal Dumble with the AxeFX. Dumble running thru 1x12 loaded with EV speaker, Axe running thru a power amp into 2 1x12s with EV speakers. Guitar->Lehle a/b-> Axe or Dumble. I was playing, my friend who ownes the Dumble and Axe would switch or pretent to switch between them.

Playing them alone without a backing track, I could tell them apart because of a difference in feel. With a track running along, no way I could tell them apart, not the tone, not the feel. At a certain point I was 100% sure to be playing the Dumble because it sounded amazing and then my friend switch it off and I was still getting sound so it was the Axe.

Anyways,on with the insanity.

This is a post from the other day,

OK, so I've gotten to play with my Ultra about 4 times now and am becoming increasingly impressed. The parameters and capabilities are so deep you really have to dig into them to understand. I have a ton of clips that I recorded just from the presets, but last night I finally got a chance to start tweaking my own patch. I don't have my MIDI hook up yet, so I am using Ver. 7.09 all stock IR's.

I am very happy with the way this is going. I tweaked this patch for about an hour and was going for the volume controllable Marshall gain. The only differences in these tones is in the pickup selector, guitar volume knob and pick attack.

The playing is sloppy and aimless as usual, but I wasn't trying to write a song here. I'm just playing with the dynamics for now.

What do you think?

And here is one from today...

I was just flipping through presets tonight listening to the different sounds each and every one made. I'm a little surprised that so many people swear off the factory presets immediately. I did spend most of the day programming my own patches which is more exhausting, but well worth it. I do find that many of the factory presets are pretty nice. Here are two clips I made without tweaking a single parameter. I know they aren't that great and my playing is weak as hell, but it is a lot of fun all the same.

I also dialed in that violin patch that 3 Chord Rock posted. I still don't have my MIDI hookup, so this is with the stock cab.

Welcome! I'm a Big Trouble fiend. Jack Burton always says....what the hell. Thanks for the clips.

Speaking of insanity it's gone all violin-mad over there. I thought '3 Chord Rock' was bullshitting until I saw the vid.

Mitch has done a lovely little piece 'ere...

It will be interesting to see how far this can be taken using the harmonizer/arpeggiator etc. String quartets and neo-classical craziness.

You'll need both the attached patch and the acoustic-guitar Impusle-Response.

sounds too much like a violin though.

Yep and not enough chugga chugga.

 

[Mr.PC]

Killer. No real suprise there though. Just wonder about the source - either direct or miced cab,or what ???

Source is my old Gibson ES-347, and it's direct....
