Tosin (Animals As Leaders) using an Axe-Fx?

Metalus · 11-23-2009, 03:51 AM

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.

great album though

Metalus · 11-23-2009, 05:58 AM

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.

I am so close to getting an ultra, just gotta hurry up and move shit for teh cashorzs.

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.

Didn't get the sounds you were hoping to from the Savage, huh? I think there might be some people out there who would do the swap for a standard. AFAIK, they're worth roughly the same. Put it up and see what you get

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!
