NED: New Everything Day (well, not everything..)

[Dave]

Let the pics speak for themselves.

Axe FX Ultra w/ ART SLA1 Poweramp.

Best piece of gear ive laid my hands on. Period.




Last but not least, a new C7 Hellraiser to replace the old Basswood Schecter Omen 7 I had, inb4 'Its the wrong way round'



Both pieces of gear slay girl's cat, couldnt be happier with the Axe!!!!

Sweet rig.

I'm using my Ultra direct for everything and couldn't be happier. Didn't know you could get left handed ones though. (Sorry, it's the obligatory thing to do isn't it?)

Rofl @ lefty joke.

Fuckass


Send some patches my way you slut!!! I already have sweet live tones dialled in but am a little lost when it comes to studio direct, all in good time of course.

Any pointers?

PM me your email dude and I'll flick you a few of my patches this evening. I don't use many of the stock cabs though. Get yourself the Uberkab (GT12-75s, which comes with the V30/75 mix) and the Marshall 1960 with G12Ms cab from Redwirez. If you like V30s my fave Redwirez cab is probably the Engl Pro or the Marshall 1960.

I bought the Orange and the 5150 cabs as well but only use the greenbacks and the Uberkabs for my heavier sounds. You can buy the whole lot for about $120 but you can buy them individually for a very reasonable price, no point spending on the whole lot if you only need a few.

All a matter of personal taste of course but my fave amps at the moment are the Uber, the Cornford and the Recto Red. For cleans I like the Tweed and the Laney. Crunchier sounds - hard to go past the plexi2 and the JCM800.

For recording heavy sounds I prefer to double track with two presets, single amp in each preset rather than blending two amps in one preset. I usually have one that is less distorted for a bit of clarity. Cornford for clarity and Uber for balls is my current fave mix.

The AXE-FX is awesome when FOT got his newest one we had a time dialling in different tones.
Will be interesting to see how it goes in the loop of whatever amp he gets next.
