Title: BKP runthrough via Axe Fx Ultra
Post by: witeter on December 08, 2012, 08:38:35 PM
So earlier in the week I got to have my first ever play with the Axe Fx Ultra. What an amazing piece of kit. So decided to do a quick run through of my BKP equipped guitars using some new riff ideas I had. The preset used is based on an Engl Powerball through an Engl 4x12 with V30s. The pickups we recorded were the Aftermath, Cold Sweat and Ceramic Nailbomb.  Enjoy :-) hopefully...lol

Insane! :)
Loving the C-Bomb and the Aftermath.
How aggressive is the C-Bomb and how tight are the lows?

Loved that. Really liked the C-bombs, as you say, those lows were just awesome.

Cheers again guys! im glad youre digging it.
The Aftermath imo is certainly the tighter of the three pickups, but the CBomb has more lows and hollow mids- you can almost hear the tone getting darker as it goes from AM-CS-CBomb. I love them all as they all offer me something different; and itamar101 - for a darker yet tight sound the CBomb is a winner :-)

Sounds awesome :)
lots of GAS for the C-Bomb recently.
Anyway, great playing.

I honestly can't hear much of a difference between the clips. They all sound great though  :D

Cheers guys - itamar you wont regret getting the CBomb :-)
Jack- cheers for the comment;you can hear the differences in certain riffs more than others, also make sure you listen through headphones or good speakers; you can hear the differences especially on the last riff :-) thanks again man

The AM sounds as metal and tight as it can get, whereas the Coldsweat seems to have a slightly scooped tone and the C-Bomb adds some more aggressive highs to the sound... I like the Aftermath the most :P

Thanks for the Clip Chris, as always very helpful and great playing, cheers!

Nah mate, no worries, my decision is pretty clear. The Jackson is gonna get the Aftermath in the bridge and a Coldsweat for the neck (fluid sweep picking tone). Since the woods are the same as in your Schecter I pretty much know what I can expect :)
