AxeFx II Gainy Clip 2 USB Direct

I had nothing to do Friday night, so I stayed in my hotel room and made a clip.
This is the AxeFx II going direct to my MacBook via USB and into Logic Pro 9.

I created a preset based on the Marsha Amp sim.
There is no EQ being used in Logic.

Finally there is a good modeling unit that does NOT muffle the tone to hide the bee hive buzz. This sounds very very good!!

This is one of th videos that actually made me get off my ass and get one of these units.
This II is a blast to play with.

I wish these would hit the mass market and come down in price. This vid was the the first thing to make me really notice the potential for a rack guitar modeler and it just kept getting better. It really sounds like a mic'd amp through a mic pre into a compressor and all that lol. I caught myself being fooled when someone didn't post that it was the Axe FX and I thought it was such a great recording of an amp. If you make a GOOD preset, it is as good as any amp. Thanks for these demos.

@MrLevent79 This was recorded via USB into the computer. You can play through your computer speakers if you want and the AxeFX 2 sounds great at low volumes. I usually use powered speakers or a power amp into guitar speaker cabs. For this demo I was straight into the MacBook Pro via USB and I used Logic Pro 9 for the DAW, I monitored what I was playing through the MacBook's little speakers and it sounded great in the room :)

Love the Queensryche riffage. The tone is quite appropriate, as it is for the VH you played too.

That's it. My Les Paul is getting Aldrich pickups and I'm saving up for the AxeFx II. What a beastly combo!

[ek]

Love it!! Vitto does not get enough love from youtube.

[cybersixx]

Im speechless Mark by the choice of songs and axe fx 2 sounds what a great preset

[samhillband]

@MrLevent79 Same Suhr. I just decided to try the Aldrich pickups and I really like them. I have a set in the Suhr and my Les Paul :)

Mark, your clips are AWESOME! and do keep the faces, they crack me up!
You always sound amazing!

[AndrewGoodladIchorus]

Expecting my Axe FX II soon. Please post more! As I've run out of demos to watch in anticipation :)

[mattrobinson]

Awsome, best direct high gain tone I have heard! Reverb sounds great too

[laurencedeguzman]

As usual! Awesome tone Mark! So excited for your webcam lessons to happen...

[Whyrendog]

I think this is the best you've sounded through any amps. I'm not surprised it sounds good compared to the old Axe because that's the point, but I am surprised that I like it so much. I'd totally accept listening to this direct sound at a gig. It brings out your dynamics, and you are a hell of a player and it seems to translate well for you.

Wow man, a lot of people is talking very well about this axe fx 2... I m very happy with a cornford hellcat and cornford 2x12 set up ... always been a plug and play guy, not so much into digital stuff but now...I dont know, maybe things have changed....welcome to the future...

[jrsmoots]

Hell yeah!!! GREAT playing and GREAT sound!!!

[MrAletube]

Just your funny faces are worth the whole playing of the video
Awesome sound as always, nice job Mark!

2:33 DAT BEND my axe is just a few weeks away, can't wait!!

[xRacer]

so hard to say no to the axefx. Been a tube guy my whole life and sworn enemy of the lesser digital "crap" haha but man axefx is just on another level. In a blind test it's nearly impossible to say if this was a tube amp or not. Another huge bonus is how easy it is to record.

Hungry--White Lion-Vito Bratta- my favorite guitarist ! I'm debating on either getting a Splawn Quickrod or a Axe fx II- now I'm leaning towards the Axe Fx !
