Fractal Audio AX8 | Sound Test

-----------------------------------------------
I usually tend to stick to 3 main sounds on my AxeFx2:
1) an ultra-clean tone with no breakup at all
2) a crunch tone for classic rock/bluesy type stuff
3) a full on, balls to the wall, Marshall-flavored hi-gain tone
I literally dialed these sounds in on my new AX8 in less than an hour, so damn intuitive. I wanted to stick to factory cabs for these so what you hear is 100% AX8 going straight into a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 and into Cubase, no post processing.

Today I bought this unit from the used market. I was a Line6 pod user...I will never go back! Fractal all life long ❤️

[rolibrother]

Finally someone who can introduce the gear as well as knows how to play the guitar. Rare pairing :)

[PauloRomaoZorba]

Youre probably the best ax8 tones ive ever seen in youtube, congratis. Your playing is outstanding as well.

This is seriously one of my favorite videos on the internet. The tones that this machine can make along with Rocco's skill is a match made in heaven! I've always been a fan of Fractal's gear. It's a shame they can't keep up with demand right now. I think I really want the FM3 and added myself to the wait list.

Killer playing.  Love the 80's metal!!  Great tones bro!

[WILLIEBUDDA]

I bought an AX8 because of this video. Thank you sir.

Man, you have basically played the encyclopedia of pop metal hits between 1984 and 1988, and did a great job too!

[quickce]

I've been looking at this unit for a bit now. I think this video just convinced me to buy it. Well done man! Fractal should pay you for this

[timh]

Thank God the ax8 sounds great. You did a fantastic job with this. Guitar in tune check, levels are good check, ideas organized well and no stupid noodling check. Two thumbs up!

That Yankeee Rose descending run got me... legit screamed. Great playing! 5:00

Your playing is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Love the 80's mode.... the choice of the same solo came instantly to my mind /m/ Those patches sound really good

[AkiraSpectrum]

[jorgemm]

To my humble taste, AX8 and Fractal is the Best (King)

[CammedFox]

The "Yankee Rose" tone (fucking nailed it btw) literally sold me on an Ax8 dude. Best demo I've seen! Monster playing too

[rupdeeppaul]

Your Guitar playing efficiency can make anything sound super amazing. I came here for AX8 demo, but I'm amazed by your guitar

[OrganicFaithFactory]
