    Man, this amp so good. I added a boost with the low end cut out by 2dB, and put it through an Engl 4x12 in the Axe, and it's great for 8 and 9 string guitars. Your videos are so helpful for me, so thank you.

      Awesome! I have to give all the credits to Steven Slate for releasing those samples in Steven Slate Drums.

      I play many IIc+ profiles. And you can get close to this sound with a dual rectifier or profile of. Place a high cut on it take it down to preference. Sounds amazing with celestion G12t 75

    Ha! I thought it's a new Metallica song! Very powerful modern tone. The drum is super too.

    • @tompparmp9928
      @tompparmp9928 5 лет назад +1

      This alone makes me want to buy the Fractal. Also, it's so funny that the 2C+ amp is from the 80's and it's still considered as a modern tone. :)

    Hey Jon, Love your mixing videos!!! Do you use the AxeFX's USB as interface or do you have a dedicated interface? What are you using on your 2buss or mastering to get that level and overall tone?

    • @SonicDriveStudio
      @SonicDriveStudio  8 лет назад

      Gemm777 Thanks! I use my AXE FX as main USB interface. You can see my current master bus settings briefly in my David Bendeth Slate drums mixing episode.

  • @mrparkinson

    What else do you have going on with the bass? Ownhammer IR's, and which amp and what kind of settings? Sounds great!

    • @SonicDriveStudio
      @SonicDriveStudio  8 лет назад

      Thanks! I show the same bass preset as I used in this video here: ruclips.net/video/2yuR37g3pBE/видео.html I always use Ownhammer bass IR's from the bass pack that is available on their website.

    Sounds killer, i have the Axe Fx 2 and i dont really get the same type of tones when using these settings, any suggestions?

  • @JoeySchmidt74
    @JoeySchmidt74 8 лет назад

    Pop question: why set the Basic amp tone settings like that and then scoop out the mid in the EQ section? I'm more of a producer of EDM and the like, but I have done guitar based music quite a bit over the years, so I'm not nit picking, I'm genuinely interested in the shaping of amplifier tones. This is because a friend of mine has one of these Axe FX IIs and they've got me thinking all about this kind of stuff.

    • @JoeySchmidt74
      @JoeySchmidt74 8 лет назад

      I should've continued watching lol, but I'm still at odds with using an EQ for tone shaping when the Basic section should have you covered?!

    • @SonicDriveStudio
      @SonicDriveStudio  8 лет назад +1

      +Joey Schmidt Audio Productions good question!
      let me explain:
      On some guitar amps like this Mesa Boogie MKIIC++ the tone stack (eq tone controls) are set pre-gain which means that the equalisation happens before the pre-amp distortion. Because of this the basic amp controls have a different kind of function. With a pre gain tone stack you can use the eq as more of a distortion character shaper. For example, if you desire a clear guitar tone remove some bass and add treble etc. This will not really affect the overall eq curve much but more the character of the guitar or distortion. Because of this 'post equalisers' can be applied to affect the general eq and this has an effect more like a traditional equaliser would.
      Some guitar amps have tonestacks set after the gain stage. This will give very different results and probably will act more like how you'd expect it to. For the Axe Fx you can compare for example the IIC++ and the Calli Leggy. Try the tone controls and see how they respond differently.
      I hope this helps!

    • @JoeySchmidt74
      @JoeySchmidt74 8 лет назад

      Ahhh, that makes more sense now. I quite liked the Calli Leggy when my mate played some Vai style stuff through it. Didn't sound as good with me given that I've had two debilitating injuries to my left hand that hampered my playing abilities. I practically gave up guitar for about 10 years as well as being only an off and on player before that. Got myself Rocksmith to start learning while playing along with some of my favourite songs. I know I could probably get a better learning method, but this one suits me!

  • @bulkzeroone5982
    @bulkzeroone5982 8 лет назад +1

    Didn't the guitar tech from Metallica come onto the forum and say that this wasn't really Hetdields amp? Cliff never did explain why he said it was Metallica's amp. Sounds good but think that Fractal was misleading in their firmware update notes.

    • @NabeelS
      @NabeelS 7 лет назад +2

      Super late reply, he said it wasn't modeled by that exact amp. But it is the amp model they use live

  • @BMHighGain
    @BMHighGain 8 лет назад

    Did you use any post processing on the tone or is that the output straight from the axefx?

    • @SonicDriveStudio
      @SonicDriveStudio  8 лет назад +3

      some very minor eq to make the guitars work with the drums and bass. I think there was a frequency in the mids that I had to dip slightly to make more room for the snare.

    • @BMHighGain
      @BMHighGain 8 лет назад +5

      +Sonic Drive Studio gotcha. Sounds great. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos and fractal forum posts.
