Exploring my options...Axe Fx guys....Step inside...JG we have already talked lol

I am searching for petrucciesque style sound.

I know I can get it with a mesa, and I know a few others I can get "close" with.

I also know all the things you can do with an Axe Fx, but im really having trouble with this thing. I listened to at least a dozen recordings using this thing and there is something missing in what im hearing. I cant put my finger on it other than to say the things I HEARD sounded soul less. They lack expression and voicing that I hear from tube amps.

So what have you for things that I can sample and hear.

do you have an Axe FX or are you just looking for clips to listen to?

Tubes, transformers, and speaker cabinets for me please. Software isn't going to do it for me.

I want to hear some GOOD clips, everything I have heard just lacks life.

WOW...............thanks for your contribution to the conversation
that was really helpful

coloradoman go the the fractal forum and check out the recordings section, there are pages and pages of clips there of all of the amp models
if you don't like what you hear then maybe you should just stick with your tube amps.
If volume wasn't an issue in my house (and my ears) I would've just kept my mark IV and maybe picked up a JVM to cover
any Non mesa sounds. recording with this thing is so simple a child could do it.

Ill ck it out thanks man!

[coloradoman25]

So i hit it up for a while as well as ckin out your uploads on here Kman. I really WANT to fall in love with this thing because there is some insane ability and versatility with this machine...that stated it still to my ears processed. (And mind you I am no where near as good a player as you or many of the samples I listened to.)

For at least now I think the Axe FX just isnt falling into what im looking for. Thanks for your time guys!

[kmanick]

have you checked out the Kemper Profiler yet?

If you play at home or in the studio only the Axe Fx is probably what you should get.
If you play live in a metal band.... I already gave you my suggestions.
