What's the Axe doing, other than adding HUUUUUUGE delay?

I think I'd rather just hear the XTC!  :lol:

Hehe, first thing in my mind was the absence of cab/amp sim's the first few secs. WHAT A RELIEF!!!! :P

Anyway i think my flimsy 40 euros worth Dod g7 sounds better then that crustyaxefx anyway :shock:

Edit:
Feeling a bit ashamed about axebashing again but....

Ah - interesting.  I thought the gain was the Axe?  It's very 'smooth', I thought the XTC was more raw than that?

It's pretty flexible, depends a lot on the Pre-EQ settings and how loud you can turn the amp up. It gets very chunky in the upper mids when the master goes beyond 1/4.

and

Maybe there is a settings difference, but its kind of obvious IMVHO

I think it's pretty similar, just a different cab and much more delay on the new clip.

I think it sounds great! Can you compare the Rebel Yell Set with the VHII buckers in the Edwards LP you also play in some other tracks?

I'd like to hear an opinion on these two pickups..

Thanks!

Hmmm, I mean the VHIIs are in a different guitar, so it's hard to tell. The VHIIs are more open with less bass thump than the RYs in the bridge. Neck wise they are quite similar, with the RY being a bit more open here.
