This is seriously one of my favorite videos on the internet. The tones that this machine can make along with Rocco's skill is a match made in heaven! I've always been a fan of Fractal's gear. It's a shame they can't keep up with demand right now. I think I really want the FM3 and added myself to the wait list.
Thank God the ax8 sounds great. You did a fantastic job with this. Guitar in tune check, levels are good check, ideas organized well and no stupid noodling check. Two thumbs up!
@@StayHomeEatGreat Hi Steve. It might be lacking CPU power depending on your needs. I'm mostly using it for live work and while there is a learning curve, I'm getting excellent results. I'm very happy right now!
Thanx for taking the time to share the sounds on this unit, been interested in this unit for a while looks like I will be getting one after watching your video...
Hi Rocco (where ever you are on the planet), I kind of forgot how much I love all those tunes you played for the demo and you played them really well, such a fine guitarist. Now I really want to look into one of those Fractals. Keep up the great playing!!!
I like your use of chorus + enhance to a similar effect as pitch detune with a simpler layout. I've always wanted chorus and pitch on the same patches without using up all the DSP. Totally stealing that!
Porca eva! Che suoni... Quelli che mi han colpiti di più sono il clean sui Dokken (è identico cavolo), il neck sul plexi, la parte in cui suoni Billy Idol (anche quella, ad occhi chiusi avrei detto che era la traccia del disco isolata). Per l'originalità, la floydata a 4.47 vince un premio tutto suo ;) Complimenti per l'acquisto! :)
Choice 👌. I’m definitely debating if the Boss GT-1000 can really deliver compatible tones, Ax8 really sounded great on the friedman amps. I’m going to give the GT-1000 a few more days of review but the authenticity of that breakup was impressive definitely next level tone Top Shelf👌
@@BluesGetOrigin no I picked up a boss katana artist instead pretty much the same minus a things but you gain the new age speaker that you really need to take advantage of the new dist and to be able to get those new sounds especially if you’re tuning below 440
@@BluesGetOrigin no i got the artist kantana the pedal can’t mess with katana artist plus u will need that new speaker to handle the hot channels i have a channel so hot i have to keep it at .05 on the watts because it’s crunch will bottom out speaker but perfect for recording at low levels for high level you should go after the boss half stack with the new speakers and that boss head thats solid state it’s not the katana its the other 1 it’s like a 1500 head but it’s got the dist off the new stuff so im sure its going to be 1 of the biggest flame 🔥 throwers on market id say you could go tour with it and play pantera with a little more fire than dimebag had
Today I bought this unit from the used market. I was a Line6 pod user...I will never go back! Fractal all life long ❤️
Finally someone who can introduce the gear as well as knows how to play the guitar. Rare pairing :)
And no talking too!
agree 100%
Good tone absolutely requires good playing.
Rocco is awesome. Sings great as well.
Youre probably the best ax8 tones ive ever seen in youtube, congratis. Your playing is outstanding as well.

Killer playing. Love the 80's metal!! Great tones bro!
Man, you have basically played the encyclopedia of pop metal hits between 1984 and 1988, and did a great job too!
I've been looking at this unit for a bit now. I think this video just convinced me to buy it. Well done man! Fractal should pay you for this .....
Thank God the ax8 sounds great. You did a fantastic job with this. Guitar in tune check, levels are good check, ideas organized well and no stupid noodling check. Two thumbs up!
That Yankeee Rose descending run got me... legit screamed. Great playing! 5:00
I bought an AX8 because of this video. Thank you sir.
Still enjoying the AX8? I have people telling me it lacks CPU power and Helix is where it's at. I'd like a fractal. I just don't know..

@@WILLIEBUDDA123 Thanks!
Seeing your comment is one of the newer ones can I ask about whether there's much gap between switching from one preset to another mid song?
Your playing is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Love the 80's mode.... the choice of the same solo came instantly to my mind /m/ Those patches sound really good
dang, you have some of the best tones on youtube.
Flawless playing and kick ass Ax8
The "Yankee Rose" tone (fucking nailed it btw) literally sold me on an Ax8 dude. Best demo I've seen! Monster playing too
Digging those Def Leppard licks! They’re my all time favorite.
Your Guitar playing efficiency can make anything sound super amazing. I came here for AX8 demo, but I'm amazed by your guitar playing......♥️🤘🏼🤘🏼
God is this some of the best tones with solid playing I've seen here on RUclips .. great work!
Man I totally forgot the fractal and focussed on your amazing play !!
Absolutely insane playing! Very nice demo indeed man. Truely showcasing the capabilities of this unit - thx
Killer tones from the fractal and your fingers Rocco!
My kind of review! , all sound no bullshit talks for ages. I'm thinking of buying one and this help me a lot
Probably the best RUclips video I’ve ever watched/listened to. Incredible playing, and oh btw the AX8 is pretty good too
Thanx for taking the time to share the sounds on this unit, been interested in this unit for a while looks like I will be getting one after watching your video...

That tone at 02:53 is amazing

To my humble taste, AX8 and Fractal is the Best (King)
yahoo, that john sykes vibrato at the end, love it, thanks man.
Hi Rocco (where ever you are on the planet), I kind of forgot how much I love all those tunes you played for the demo and you played them really well, such a fine guitarist. Now I really want to look into one of those Fractals. Keep up the great playing!!!
I have never gotten to play on gear with such good tone . It must be amazing and then some . great playing and feel as always Rocco.

3:28 the most eargasmic bend i've ever heard in my entier life

You played most of my fav songs, I’ll buy an AX8 Just beacuse of this video 🔝🥇😍

PLEASE upload these patches to the Exchange...sounds amazing!

Bravissimo Rocco, grande chitarrista e suoni molto bello!!!!
Porca eva! Che suoni... Quelli che mi han colpiti di più sono il clean sui Dokken (è identico cavolo), il neck sul plexi, la parte in cui suoni Billy Idol (anche quella, ad occhi chiusi avrei detto che era la traccia del disco isolata).

Dream warrior by dokken , is this love ?.nothin else matters, hysteria , foxy lady . All my favourites
Super-tasteful playing!
Mad skills!!! Beautiful playing.
Sweet sounds and sweet playing. Well done sir 👏😉
Mother. Of. GOD! Sounds AWESOME!

So did you make the switch? I’ve got the GT-1000 and thinking about it too
