Pushed JTM45 model in Axe played by VHIIs
« on: March 02, 2009, 07:25:58 PM »

I just love my Edwards Paul since I went to those Nickel .10-50 strings.

Here's another clip with a quite heavily pushed JTM45 in the Axe: http://www.klangforschungszentrum.de/temp/el_axo_imigranto.mp3

Hmmm.  Doesn't sound like a JTM45 to me.  But it sounds good!

I KNEW you would reply Dave. And I KNEW you wouldn't approve of the 45er LOL

But anyways, I never played a real JTM, so what do I know :O)

I also like the tone as it is and so thanks very much for the positive feedback, real 45 or not!

Ha ha - I'm too predictable!

Well I play JTM45-type amps all the time and they're much warmer than that.  I thought the sound you got was somwhere inbetween a JTM45 and a Plexi.

Who cares what it's called though, it sounds good - very Led Zep  :)

It's a good tone but I have to say I still prefer the ones you got with your Bogner and Vintage Modern :)

Hm yeah, more direct I guess. Stupidly also I recorded with reverb which I should've switched off to get more of a direct tone. And then in direct comparison the VM version had less gain and more presence: http://www.thegutbusters.com/temp/emigranto.mp3 (this was the Marshall)

Yep - I agree.  I guess the flexibility of the AXE is good for you Hunter?  Beats carrying a bunch of amps around!

I just can't get into this modelling thing personally...

Yeah, I love my Axe, love to try new/different amp models and how they respond, and I love to change from a clean tone with delay and phaser to an overdriven lead with reverb and wah and higher volume with one switch of a button.

Also there were always compromises to have a great clean and or great clean with hair and or great rock tone and or great chugga tone and now I can have them all. Actually when I listen to the 2 clips I am not too excited by the Marshall and prefer the Axe one. Maybe a bit too much gain, and I should have recorded w/out reverb at first.

In the end it's what makes you feel good when you play, and I just feel comfortable and enjoy myself much more with the Axe, being relaxed and focus on the playing more, whereas with amps/pedals it's always a fight to get the balance right.

Clips that I am posting here are just snapshots after all, but the rig I am running right now has really convinced me in terms of flexibility and consistency.

I'd really like to hear an axefx live or even play one. I bet its good through a decent power amp and cab :)

I think one thing that put me off it was Simon Bradley in Guitarist magazine saying how good it was.  What does he know about good tone?  :roll:

However, if Hunter thinks it's good there must be something there that's decent  ;)

LOL, yeah Dave, I second the Bradley comment. It's just about not bad enough for me to cancel the subscription. Still my favourite mag, but I do check authors on any reviews and take it with a grain of salt if it's him.

_tom_, I am actually planning to do a trip to UK to visit around guitar shops in the mid/lower east area, and find the "perfect gun" - might actually take my rack for testing, who knows.

Pity that guitar4you is so much up-country ...

Pity I missed that Manchester meet, but you and Guitars4You might just convince me after all to burn some more rubber and come upcountry ... might be fun to see a bit more of the UK for once ...

I will have plenty of time from in 2 weeks as I am actually out of job now ...
