Mentoneman has an AxeFX in his possession. 

Give it some time and start from scratch. The amp presets were pretty much useless for me (because I like weird stuff lol) but some off the effects presets just blew me away and I learned a lot from Cliff just from deciphering what he did.mentoneman":29baukxy said:i almost posted the exact thread title the day i got it![]()

i'm a fair guy and wanted to give it a shot....there were maybe 4-5 factory presets that sounded nice but all were pretty buried with effects. effects sounded great as expected.
i wish the preset layout was more naked amps, but steve mentioned you could download exactly that--dry amps all at 12 oclock--and work from there.
i can't work with it until this weekend so no real thoughts yet
I'll be the first to admit I am a total UltraNewb!!rsm":2bkn80gi said:As I recall, (haven't had an Ultra for several months), the advanced settings in the amp block can provide you with parameters to control the "tube feel and dynamics"?
It sounds like you have the external pedals to add tube warmth though that's added baggage which should be unnecessary (IMO) with the Axe-Fx capabilities and user tweaking effort.
Thanks for your review, your opinions are well regarded by many (well, me for one).![]()

One, should be easy enough, I'd really like to know what people feel about just the amp models. Most of clips are fairly wet. Strip away all the effects, and just play with the amp models. How do they sound/feel?
I'd like to hear the amp do thick, girthy tone. The thickest fattest daddy of them all, a JCM800 tone machine. Not a pussy, shrill, GNR type tone, but a fat, larger than life No More Tears type of tone.
The modelers do the modern thing pretty well, it seems, but modern amps they don't have that girthy, almost solid sounding depth that some of the classics amps do. I want to see if a modeler can simulate that, not just the surface tone.
Impress me, give us some No More Tears tone.
It was wet as hell, but the basic amp tone was thick, delicious Marshall tone. I'd like to see if any of these modelers can get that girthy, solid-like tone.ejecta":2gn8i6t8 said:Zach's "No More Tears" tone has chorus on it.![]()
