   VP4 Spaceship Noises

   A quick take to show how you can use external controllers with your Fractal Audio VP4 to control effect parameters in real time and do whacky stuff like make your delay blast off in to outer space.

   Dead & Co - Clean - Althea Intro

   A Dead & Co-inspired Deluxe Reverb tone. I wanted something that had that signature scooped-mids DR tone, but a nice, tight bottom end. I found it by mixing a factory Deluxe Reverb IR with a JBL E130 IR captured by Tyler Grund. Clip was a Suhr Custom on neck single coil > Axe-Fx III > Logic X. No...

   Land Down Under

   A take on that iconic 80s guitar sound: it's all about the Boss pedals and Fender amps and guitars! Signal chain for this was: Schecter Strat with the coils tapped -> Axe-Fx II -> Logic X All processing was done in the Axe-Fx II. Patch: http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=3982...

   Watery Chorus

   Someone on the Fractal forum asked how you could get a watery chorus sound akin to what the Earthquaker Devices "Sea Machine" pedal does. It's not hard, really. Just move the mix on a chorus block past 50%, up the depth and rate and that chorus starts to sound like a vibrato. It's got a…

   Jerry

   Based on a Gear Page thread on Jerry's tone where John Silberman talked about middle pickup on a Strat in to a clean Twin preamp and a ultra-clean, linear power amp to a JBL speaker I decided to try it out in the Axe-Fx II. John's description of that core Jerry setup was spot, freakin' on. I used...

    Drive My POG

    An emulation of a dirty EHX POG effect. Gives you a low octave below what you're playing in to a hard clipping fuzz. Here's a patch: http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=3782 Here's a discussion thread: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/how-to-get-this-john-mayer-tone.106194/

    30ms Tape Delay Doubler

    Using the tape delay in stereo mode to create a doubled guitar studio effect. First half is no delay effect. Second half is delay effect. Track was reamp so takes are otherwise identical.

    Quantum Creamy AC-30

    Mikko's clip of some awesome AC-30 tones here (https://soundcloud.com/clark-kent-job/axe-fx-quantum-vox-ac30-treble-boost-with-ml-sound-lab-irs) reminded me that some of the best rock tones can be had from a really pushed AC-30. It overdrives in this way that's really compressed, but smooth, and…

    Dynamic Asymetric Tremolo into Stereo Vibroluxes.

    Dynamic! Stereo! Tremolo! Fender! I wanted to show off one of my favourite features of the Axe-Fx II: the ability to assign performance-dependent controllers to all kinds of parameters in effect blocks to create things that move and breath and change with your playing. In this example we start…

    Josephine

    Live off the rehearsal floor. This was me trying out the upcoming ML Sound Lab IRs. In this clip I'm using my regular Trey A patch but with an ML Sound Lab IR mix of a Suhr 2x12 running Celestion G12-65 speakers. It's got a nice bit of mid-honky to it that sits well with the band. Guitar was a…
