Members zygoat Posted May 3, 2009 Members Share Posted May 3, 2009 Someone was asking me about the phaser on the Axe Fx. I think it was FrankieJ... anyway, here's a brief clip of me scrolling thru a few of the phaser parameters, including the vibe. The blocks went: Phaser block, Amp Block (JTM45), Cab block, Reverb. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=630564&songID=7570161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for some vibe/phaser clips. I want to A/B the Captain Coconut 2 with the Ultra and see if how much of the tone I can replicate from the Hot Silicon Fuzzfoot and Provibe. Can't wait. Thanks again for the clips. Is there a way to assign an ECS type parameter to the vibe setting in order to make the speed/width of the effect controlled by pick attack and dynamics?

Yes, you can assign an envelope or LFO to control a lot of parameters on the Axe FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aaron SS Posted May 3, 2009 Members Share Posted May 3, 2009 Yeah. As I've mentioned before in one of my threads you can have pitch controlled parameters as well which makes for a lot of interesting effects that you couldn't make using a traditional stompbox style setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds stupid. I am pretty attached to some of my gear, so selling it hurts unless I can justify it. I love the clip that Zygoat posted. It just shows a tiny snippet of what types of phaser/vibe sounds that are possible and there is SO much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Porkchop Xpress Posted May 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Where are all of the other Axe-Fx users? I know MrMunky has one because he is the first one to mention it to me in the Tonelab thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aksman Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm here!!! haha. I haven't really gotten deep into it yet... still amazing, though. Also, put together some fuzzes for the front end of it, and it takes them VERY well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kid_A Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 would love to have one... but just got myself a bad cat. See my problem here is what happens when it clunks out, i mean you can take an amp to a shop and get it fixed no matter whats wrong with it. What would you do in this situation?

Members jimosity Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm an AxeFX'r too, but don't have a whole lot of stuff to share other than how I've been using mine.One simple little thing that I do is use a CC pedal to blend back and forth between two amps. Many of the tunes that I play where there are changes between clean and distorted or mild distortion and heavy distortion, I just put two amp blocks and then assign the level to a CC and have one start being at 0 or close and the end value to be 100 or close and then set the CC range on the other amp to be opposite and then play with the slope to make sure there's not a drop in volume when the CC is in the middle.Works awesome. I also use the auto engage on the wah as well, which is kick ass for having a great wah that's CC controllable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zygoat Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Last night I was messing around with a riff, and continuing my quest for good high gain sounds. The Mark IIC+ is probably my favorite amp sim at the moment, but I "discovered" the CAE 3 Lead amp sim again. At first glimpse I wasn't terribly blown away by it but paired with the right cab it can bring the rock. Here's a comparison between the two. Mark IIC+ CAE 3 LD Aaron, I remember you saying that one of your favorite high gain sounds was a modified take on the Petrucci rhythm patch. Do you still use the Cali 4x12 cab with that? There's something about that cab model I just can't stand, it's way too boomy for me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MKIV sounds very open and lively while the CAE sounds tighter and a bit more refined. I bet they would sound incredible running together.

I tend to agree with the thoughts on the cab and I use a V30 impulse response with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Porkchop Xpress Posted May 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm a little freaked out about the IR's because I haven't read about them yet, therefore, I don't know what the hell they really do or how to use them. I'm assuming they are like a cab sim that was bade by "snippets" of sound produced by the actual cab, but I have no idea how it actually works. I guess I better get to reading...

Members zygoat Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 Heh. I read about IRs on the wiki and I'm still freaked out, so don't feel bad. The stock cabs are plenty for me right now. If it comes to the point where I can't get epic TOAN out of the stock cabs then perhaps I'll look into IRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aaron SS Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 IR's really are great, basically they are the measured difference in sound between a sine wave played through a cab and it's original form or at least that's how I understand it. In turn the axe fx loads the difference and applies it to the sound you put through it to give the same general response. Zygoat do you have any of your patches uploaded? I'd definitely be interested in checking them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
