Oh, also - when doing this (because most guitar tracks are double-tracked), make sure you choose either the left or right guitar track, mono it and THEN proceed with the tone matching algorithm for a MUCH more accurate match. You're welcome. :)

This is SOOO much cooler! hahaha

Impressive. Very impressive! To the naysayers that ding the Fractal, it also may come down to every player sounding different than the guitar player on tape. No two guitar players will sound exactly the same and thus you can micro-analyze the difference and blame it on the equipment. You get 10 different esperienced musicians to blind test and you'll get an overwhelming positive consensus. The guitar player emulating the riff is awesome and the tone match is awesome. Thumbs up and rock on!

This is a great device and when I first turned it on I was expecting a miracle of my rhythm sounds and lead tones and it was a shock that panic set in thinking this was a hopeless task. I closed it up...regrouped and realized that I would have to tweet a preset to make it my own. So far reading taking it slow and tweaking its all coming together. Thank guys oh one thing as I am going to post videos it would help a person that likes a sound but want to know how you did it instead of playing it for 2minutes instead of showing you advanced skill in making the patch...

I actually did this demo without knowing that I needed to switch from LR SUM to either L or R on the reference tone. Therefore, there is phase cancellation that changes the tone. The default in later firmware is to select L so that there is no phase cancellation.

Search for the video Peaches in Regalia on the Axe-Fx II. The guy plays through probably thirty patch switches live during the song. No gaps or clicks or anything in effects because of spillover. There's a very, very small gap in the amp sound if it's a different amp model, like with all other midi switchers.

Thanx for bringing that video to my attention. Even though he certainly does switch around alot, the playing only occassionally continues through preset switches. But, in those cases, the Axe FX does seem rather fast; even taking into accound that spillover (and background music) may patch things up a bit. (still, a dedicated example with bone-dry axe-fx only, would be appreciated).

Kemper didn't force anything. Fractal users requested this, so they implemented it. It is MUCH more powerful than Kemper's technology since the tone match is paired with hyper-accurate pre and power amp modeling. That means you can actually change the tone accurately once you capture it, unlike the Kemper which gives you a snapshot that you can't change without compromising the tone.

This is just one feature dude. Personally, I'm not all about "ripping from my heroes," but for SoloAWeek, where I offer free lessons to people who want them, it is about copying the tones as closely as possible. And a lot of people consider playing covers and sounding as close as possible to the original the most fun thing about guitar. To each his own. And you don't need a real amp to "find your own vibe." I use the Axe-Fx for my original stuff. It is definitely my own vibe.

No. The tone matched replaced the cab because it is an EQ that simulates the sound of the cab and the EQ sound of the amplifier. You could hear what the amp sounded like alone.

So do you actually have to play THE riff or can you just noodle? In other words for the captured tone to be matched to your playing do you have to play the exact riff that was originally played into the tone match block or can you just play anything and still get that result?

So is it up to you to dial in the effects like delay, chorus, reverb ect? Or if you have those effect blocks in the chain will the fractal throw them in as well?

Thanks for all the effort, still very helpful although the interface has changed slightly in 4 years :) I just tried to first capture the sound of my old Marshall, then i tried to tone match it. After finding a suitable amp model in the axe-fx and tweaking for a while, the result is quite satisfying compared to the captured tone. But the captured tone itself is not as good as what I really hear thru my marshall... So I'd better work more on mic'ing it in the first place... Thanks Again!
