Tosin (Animals As Leaders) using an Axe-Fx?
Correct me if im wrong but it looks like hes using a fractal axe-fx in his rack in the background. I cant see the powerball which is his usual amp of choice. This might make sense because he put it up for sale on the AAL myspace. Anyone care to chime in?

whoever bought his LACS Ibby mentioned that he switched to an AXE-FX rig. makes sense. his other rig just seemed....redundant. imho of course.

Its so sick. Apparently it looks like hes running a VHT 2/50/2 power amp. The tone isnt bad at all. Ive been heavily considering trading my Savage for an Axe-Fx (if its possible lol) and setting up my rig around it.

You may be able to unload the Savage and, depending on how much auxiliary cash you have, pick up either an Axe Fx Standard or Ultra. There was a dude on rig-talk last week trying to unload an Ultra for 1850 shipped, which is absolutely insane, and it's also why he no longer has it
![]() And yeah, Tosin said on here he was switching to the axe fx when he was trying to sell his powerball. I dunno if he sold it cause I've been trying to get a hold of him, but I would assume he did if he's rockin the axe fx. |

if i had the cash, i would get one myself. i definitely think his change makes sense, considering his style and everything. it´s a really flexible unit

Didn't he record the album with the Axe-Fx? Or maybe I'm just assuming things. I figured that making a record with Bulb would quite easily result in that.
![]() I have one and sure enough, it's a definite GAS killer. It's like having a girlfriend with an awesome face, great body, sweet personality and great music taste. Why would you look for girls that only have one of these attributes when you have them all in one already? ![]() I'm not saying the Axe-Fx is the end-all be all for everybody, but I encourage everyone to try one, preferrably if you know someone who already has it tweaked properly to their own system because the presets are crap and you need to spend a lot of time learning how all the parameters work, otherwise you're probably not gonna be too convinced about the unit. The Axe-Fx is not just a substitute for an amp, but for a studio-recorded amp. There's a huge difference there. It's as much a vitrual studio as it is an amp modeller. Also, the Recordings section on the Axe-Fx forums is awesome! Chack that out.

Also, I think I remember Bulb saying on here that it was mostly the X3 pro, but I may be dreaming it all up. |

Yeah i think so too. Regardless, its a pretty sick unit. It would make my rig loads smaller and i wouldnt have too worry about having a bunch of rack units and such. Would i be able to do a straight trade for an Axe-Fx standard? I was also thinking of getting a Mesa Power amp to go with it. Maybe something like the Simul-Class or the 50/50. As of right now, Im considering trading the Savage for a Nitro, possibly a roadster or the axe-fx.

we used my podx3 on the album cuz i didnt have an axefx back then (keep in mind we actually recorded the album over a full year before it was actually released to the public)
tosin really dug my axefx and i told him to get one since he was running a dual amp rig which was huge and complex, when he could get the same results from a single axefx into a stereo poweramp, so now he uses the axefx as such as well as a vintage fender bass amp which sounds huge, i dont know if hes using the fender live or not, but that was the plan when i last talked to him and that amp sounded sick!

I run into active monitors, and if I'm ever in a pinch and can't bring my own, there's usually something I can use at the venue. And the monitor is just for me and the people in the front row anyway, everyone else will hear me from the PA speakers. Such is the awesomeness of dual outputs.

Tosin is running an Axe-Fx Ultra, it was mine previously.

Get his patches!
![]() Even if he'd be running it differently, I could just mix orange 4x12 impulses until I get close to what it'd sound like playing in front of one. John, what monitor are you using? I was considering either a new QSC K12 or used HPR121i. The K12 is like half the weight of the HPR, so that may be my deciding factor. |

Ive really been thinking of getting the Axe-Fx since it will make my rig much smaller and less complex. The only thing really keeping me from that is the fact that i dont knw if ill be able to get the tone i want out of it (Killswitch meets Jeff Loomis-esque tone). Plus theres no way for me to really try one and i dont have the money right now to invest in a poweramp. Plus the whole digital vs tube thing still factors in i guess lol Quote:

I'm currently using Mackie's, not sure of the model name but I could dig them up for you if you want. I hear nothing but love for QSC on the Axe-Fx forums though, so it seems that if you have the money then that's what people tend to prefer.
There's also the new Atomic FRFR speaker, which is tube-driven. Since Atomic and Fractal are working together now, I'd assume they'd go very well together as that's what they're designed for. Don't quote me on that though. Appearently it's the world's first tube-driven full range monitor system so who knows, might sound like ass

This is insane, because I cannot for the life of me be satisfied with the tone on the podx3 for more than one day, yet I was listening to the debut on the bus today and i was just thinking, "great tone".
The album is currently my favorite though, so i guess there are no excuses anymore... The stellar performances on the record probably make the difference for the most part though.
