A Great Company. A Great product. I bought the original Firebox...quote Good..but I own ALOT of boutiquey amps...so it just narrowly missed my niche...They I returned it..no hassles at all. I noticed this company constantly innovates their products..and the support is fantastic. I can't believe the hype other companies get when these guys are sooo good. I Have to try this new unit...It may just become my go-to for Live work.

[@ericknapp4352]

Jesus, that sounds soooooo good. What a tone!!!

[@mrhyde2250]

Their products rival everything in my opinion. And seem to be extremely user friendly y comparison too.

[@Sonicblue1922]

awesome demo. honestly think the Atomic stuff sounds so good relative to the competition and the price point is really good too. Think I am going to have to check this out.

[@vondragonnoggin]

This is some good improvements. What a nice size modeler.

[@AngusClarkGTR]

Love the AmpliFire. I did all the Marc Martel dates with an AF12.

[@vitorweber3237]

You're a badass! Hoping to see you and TSO again!

[@j_reaume5248]

I think the AF12 surprises a lot of people that do not consider it "high-end". Some other modelers have better UI and effects, but no one has better amp modeling IMHO. Hoping they come out with an AF12 MKii.

[@AngusClarkGTR]

@@vitorweber3237 thanks!

[@AngusClarkGTR]

@@j_reaume5248 yeah, I’ve seen shootouts where people say it takes more time to program what you want on the AF stuff. May be true, but the size, weight, capability, and price make it really attractive.

[@kcussrebutuemos4815]

@@AngusClarkGTR no it took less time tbh. Sounded better too. It was just easier to deal with. Better high gain tones etc.

[@therangersinger]

What a cool ass backing track. For whatever reason it reminds me of some sort of Tom Petty and Johnny Cash mashup. That Friedman sounds beast!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks!

[@riniones]

your playing has stepped up recently! sounds great

[@TavaresProject]

That sounds incredible!!!

[@SergeiVlassov]

what a beautiful tele!

[@pcbullets8726]

Great sounding pedal for what it is. Def a good unit if you are living the apartment life and need space. Greetings from the east coast!

[@gustabartok]

Sounds really good! Nice nice playing master! One thing, this artifact is great but I won't be able to do changes in real time in a live situation?

[@GuitarJawn]

My favorite guitar on your channel is that tele

[@teriakamoto]

I love Atomic ampliFIRE so much that I have 2 AF6 models. Very nice Amp Modeling and USB to the MAC, load up Custodies IR's and also the FX Loop. I'm a plug and play guy. Very simple to use for ADHD Spaze's like myself.To me the FX aren't bad for practice but I have bins of great pedals if I need one. I really like your channel Michael. Great Playing and I learn a lot because you play a whole different style than me and a lot of clean stuff. If you want to improve, I think it's helpful to learn to play different styles of Music. Like the clean leads with the overdriven Fender Ala Tom Petty. Great Demo Michael. Thank You

[@teriakamoto]

Yes, the Greenbacks sounds fantastic w/ the Fender. Reverb sounded great.

[@danthrax7407]

If I had a girlfriend I´d ask her to dance that intro for me, you have gold hands, playing and recording dear Michael

[@wakjob961]

Nice work Michael... I always wanted to try the original. A couple of folks in the Marshall Forum sing its praises compared to other devices on the market.

[@javiceres]

I have one and I love it. I play it set mostly to the Deluxe model through a couple of Adam A7X (sometimes just one) and feed it with many types of pedals. Before I did the same with a 5E3 and I have better results now at home levels. Absolutely. MKII should be stellar if it lives up to the MKI.

[@javiceres]

I have MKI and watching this is 🙌🏻

[@NeonCowell]

Michael didn't you also do work on Forza 7? I've been playing the hell out of it lately and I'm getting menu screen vibes from this intro 🚗

[@ESP77769]

Does anyone know if you can use the XLR and line out on this at the same time??

[@digital360]

Can I run this pedal into a Seymour Duncan power stage and then into a real cab, or does it have to go DI to a DAW only?

[@georgekeenan72]

Either way us fine.

[@danielspangler8358]

Amazing what you can do with guitar equipment these days!

[@raulsanchez5221]

You said it has an improve on the amps emulation. So, the AFB, the 3, 6 and 12 buttons versions have all the same amp sims. Are all of them out of date? I assume no news for the AFB anymore, but the others one? A new line of MARKs II?

[@wadefinch2664]

No they have not updated the others yet

[@mhoff7722]

Great vid, thanks! Have to go back and listen again but so far I like the tones in this much better than the Synergy modules...and you get FX! 🤘🤘🤘

[@TheTactical6string]

I bought the original 3 Button 6 yrs ago the day it was released. Im just a living room rocker and never play outside the home. I remember there was a lot of buzz around the release of it but must of just gotten shadowed by the other guys (Helix, Fractals, ETC) It surprises me as these were only 600 shipped on release day. Anyway Ive got a question if you know, is this exactly the same as the original just with one less button and of coarse newer software? Ive got a set of Altec Lansing ACS45 computer speakers from 2004 plugged into the headphone out and its all i could ever want. I may be wrong but i cant get the noise gate to be programmable for individual patches, seems like its only global and doesnt appear that i can assign any of the 3 buttons at different levels. AGAIN IM TALKING ABOUT THE original so this is why im asking. Im either going to buy a 12 button or now thinking about this one as at worst If I could be able to have a Dirty and a Clean channel that I can use one of those buttons on the "FireBox". I can buy a 12 button used for the same price as the Firebox new so trying to fingure out best option. Thinking as i dont leave the house maybe the 12 since i do have that many more buttons. And when you say its Mono, is that just as far as outputs? Do i still get the stereo effects like the ping pong delay left and right?vjust no left right outputs right?

[@richardwilliams1310]

They should have added trs midi and maybe iOS and Android editor connected via bluetooth

[@bwgti]

Nice intro. Michael always downplays his guitar work. But it is always super tight.I think bassists and drummers call it "in the pocket". Maybe that doesn't exactly apply here. But it sure sounds good every time.

[@ShawnTubbs]

Michael plays way better than he'll ever admit to. He always does great work.

[@jaykafcas4342]

Killer Tele!!!

[@equinoxpete]

I want to hear more high gain with humbuckers. Like the high gain tone. Just want more of that. Most of these pedals these days have good clean tones. This has both. Nice demo.

[@donaldrobidoux4862]

Satchel used to tour with an AFB Mk1 on it's pedalboard direct to FOH using the 5150 model.

[@markusfrieauff5651]

Did the amp models all improve? Or are they the same and just the new Deluxe2 added?

[@javiceres]

The modelling engine is supposed to be MKII (that is, for all amp models).

[@nickcormier]

I loved the first Atomic Amplifire model.. for the price, it stood with the Axe-FX II imo in tone, just very limited in options.. I kinda want this new one too hmmm

[@javiceres]

I have the MKI and while I haven’t compared it to other hardware modellers (just a boss GT-10, no contest) it fares so well against tube amps it’s no my go to amp. This one seems extremely promising!

[@Polentaccio]

Sounds REALLY good.. maybe I am crazy but I feel like they are on par with the modelers 4 times the price.

[@socialdef3]

I feel the same about the $100 Zoom G1xFour. Shame people spend so much money on amp modelers when good tones are available for real cheap now days in 2022.

[@donaldrobidoux4862]

@@socialdef3 I have the Zoom G1Four and while it's quite good for $100 it's nowhere near my AFB Mk1

[@alexbarto7]

Michael. All the amps are new emulations???

[@Tecom38415]

Can it do high gain extreme metal?

[@ESANANIKONE]

I've got the mk I. I love the sound of the amps and the simplicity of it. The mk II would be great but I am reluctant on spending the cash for a second unit :/

[@justaddguitar]

I sold my mk1 because of lack of headphones out. Hope mk2 fixes that

[@Bcwilderness]

kicks the crap out of plugins esp if you hit an outboard tube pre into interface first

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Damn... that's pretty cool. Seems like it does quite a lot for $400. I wonder if the "FREEDMAN BE" misspelling in that amp model was intentional?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Yeah. Trademark workarounds. haha.

[@tunoman]

Super coooool

Had the original one. Sounded good, but got kicked off by the Iridium.

[@rangerdoc1029]

Man, i was the opposite. Kept the AFB and sold the Strymon

[@hermanzaum]

I've put the Iridium against my plexi (plugged into a reactive load) and three different software amps, all going through the same IR and I've found the Iridium was the weakest in the bunch. Neural DSP stuff sounded and felt great, very close to the real amp after a few tweaks. The Iridium is a very good IR loader though - and that's why I'm keeping it.

Totally agree. The tone just sounds lifeless... like an older modeling product. I have the MK I, so I know how good it can sound. Maybe it's the way this vid was recorded?
