    Vibrato questions

    Vibrato is one of the most personal aspects of playing you can have. While it's important to develop all ways to achieve it, it is MORE important to be able to use it expressively and to express multiple feelings and emotions. It is ALWAYS something to work on and with, and it's always a...

    All great stuff, but I have to say, I feel like all of US HERE is why Syn focuses on "learn how to use a computer sooner, ya lunkhead!"...

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    PS: The different firmwares don't affect it enough. If something was build in Quantum 6.x, or even the old 9.x for example, it will still work and probably sound slightly better on Aries 2.x (which is what you should be on - the latest and last ever, most likely). Nothing a MINOR tweak couldn't...

    Amp frequencies and mixing

    I wouldn't necessarily say it's "the norm." I would call the base standard two rhythm tracks panned hard left and right. Anything above that is personal preference or seeking a specific sound. I have heard of recordings where one tone is much lower gain with boosted bass to get that sharp...

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    Also, consider working with one of the factory cabs, at least for now, so we're on a shared stage for that.

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    Try getting your amp tone without that Tube Screamer in front of it. This amp doesn't need it. Also, flip off the bright switch and bring the Presence down to get rid of the sizzle. If the bottom end is too boomy or flubby, go into the GEQ section on the amp side, choose the 8 band Var Q, and...

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    Yes, everything I'm talking about is within the AxeFX. What mic is on the cabinet? Try the MD421. V30s tend to be my favorites, too.

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    Josh, when you got the AxeFX, did you do a hard reset of it to clear out all the old owner's settings? If not, try doing that, or at least check the global settings for a global EQ that might be causing or contributing to your issues. I do not believe the problem to be that your ears don't like...

    Axe FX II - Help!?

    You just need to learn how to use it. It's a lot to take in. Try examining the built-in tones and see how they do some stuff. Go to Axechange and download some presets that interest you - there's a ton of shit there, but there's some good stuff too. If all else fails, send me a DM and I'll shoot...

    I Give Up Trying to get this tone!Help!

    Try the tone you have, but using a tapped neck or neck and middle pickup. Roll the volume down to 6 or 7 and take a little out of the tone knob and see if that helps?
