Update: I added one of the presets I used in the clip. It's not the exact preset as I don't normally save after recording but this is pretty close. Let me know what you think!
It's the Dr Z 66 with Uber V30. There are 3 scenes...scene 1 is amp, cab and reverb. Scene 2 adds a drive for more gain and scene 3 adds the drive, volume boost and delay for leads. Click this link for preset.

Had to learn the new Bon Jovi tune for my band so figured I'd try recording with the AX8 for the first time since I received it. There are 4 guitar tracks:

Left side is a combo of a Blues Jr and 5153 Blue
Right side is a combo of Dr Z 66 and Plexi 50 watt jumped
Bass is the AX8 as well using one of the models...can't remember which one but the cab was the 8x10.

It's not the whole song...just the intro, verse, pre-chorus and chorus and another verse I believe. I think I got in the ballpark with the tones.

Drums are just superior drummer...didn't really spend much time on them as you can hear. Everything recorded in Logic Pro X.

man, sounds nice and thick, especially the palm muted parts. Two thumbs up here brother!
 
Your recording sounds good.....the AxeFx is a great unit.

The new Bon Jovi song is a horrible tune.......dude needs to stop doing new tunes & just tour as a nostalgia act at this point.
 
Sounds great, did you record direct and if so how? Can you recommend an recording interface? New Ax-8 user myself. :rock:
 
Thanks! I added a link to a similar preset that I used on the clip.
 
That really sounds great! Hope it works nicely for you live!
 
If I was playing out live I would be all over the AX8. Impressive sounds for sure. Nice job.
 
Sounds great! I'm really starting to get a handle on my AX8. Still adjusting to performing live with it, but when I walk out front during sound check I'm amazed at how good it sounds

Welcome to the dark side brother. If you would've told me a year ago I wouldn't be using tube amps for gigging anymore I would've said you were crazy. But here I am... Looking forward to getting the new Quantum 4 update on it.
 
I've watched the video more than a couple times now, seriously great tone.
