Members Dewysoss Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Best digital tone I've heard in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RhettHours Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's too high gain and compressed for my tastes but you can hear the amp-guitar interaction is good. Those Ecstacys are absolutely killer. Next to the MESA Lonestar those amps have the most feel to them, like they make your guitar feel the best its ever played, really responsive and detailed. you need to play a two rock haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 I like Legacy leads a lot more. aren't they pretty much the same sound? I mean, vai used to (and possibly still does) use the ecstacy... he designed the legacy to sound a lot like it and be used in the same way (using overdrive pedals to boost it and such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you read through the thread you'd see it's not even an XTC..... it's not even a tube amp... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 by the way, just listened to those clips.... not impressed with the sound.... and I like strats too....

Members Marshallesque Posted February 5, 2008 Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 In five years the Axe-fx will just be a doorstop of aging technology, while a real XTC will retain it's value and still be providing sonic quality to rival tomorrow's processors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you relate me not liking your blues rock mediocre recording (but good playing, which I never commented on) instantly = I can't play, even though you would have no idea if I can or can't.

Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2008 Speaks volumes about your ears. lol tell that to the 10+ people who agreed it sounded good. You didn't like it because it was somewhat high gain and somewhat related to shred, and not blues rock on a strat. You wouldn't had known either way what it had come from and would have assumed an amp, but oh noes not your beloved ecstacy because it wasn't the kind of music you like. zomgs.

You just take it upon yourself to claim to know what I like.my Bogner is just ONE of a few amps I have.Save your McDonald's salary and you can get one too, instead of some digital POS......

When I do, I'll make some recordings. although I really don't care about proving myself to some random aged guy on the internet who 1. doesn't affect me at all and 2. doesn't play or listen to music that interests me at all.
