Axe FX, Kemper, Helix we are at point in history where digital technology can provide a real and truly enjoyable alternative to tubes that even traditional die hard fans are beginning to appreciate.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Absolutely, It’s an exciting time to be a guitar player!

[@kylehowdy]

great video, I turned the axe fx on and lost a good 30 minutes! lol

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks! Awesome to hear this led to some fun!

[@MikaTarkela]

Sounds great! I'm going to experiment with the input trim tomorrow :)

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks! I think you’re gonna find a lot of inspiring tones with that one knob. Let me know how it works for ya!

[@DrBizz]

Killer sounds!

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Right?! Amp modeling has come a long way since the POD!

[@axelman8547]

It could be the guitar (wow what a nice one) , not just the AFIII Cygnus ;) but it sure sound good thnx for sharing the info

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Haha yes the Kiesel is my pride & joy! Always happy to share info. I’m discovering a lot of cool tricks with a bunch of amps in the axe so stay tuned. Thanks!

[@63Spatch]

Exxxxcellent tone Colin! But I really need to Axe, what's behind the curtain!?! Lol

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks! Haha, all shall be revealed to those that hit the subscribe button! 😂 Nothing terribly exciting, just a window.

[@63Spatch]

@@ColinGaileyGuitar Nice & I already have!

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Much appreciated!

[@chrismitlyng1411]

WOW @ 2:43

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

That control has such an impact! So much variety from just that one knob!

[@furryz666]

Yes right regarding the Marshalls but cliff has a long way to go, all those hairy, gnarly sounds are what makes them great and can be tamed by a talented player as has been proven for generations, your patches are pretty good, much better than many I’ve tried though so thanks for the patch

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

I see your points about the gnarly sound! Most haven’t played the real thing and are actually trying to remove some of that hairy stuff to get a smoother sound. Those old amps were very rough around the edges. Not a bad thing, especially when you wanna cut through a mix. Thanks for your comment, glad to hear you enjoyed the patch!

[@kevinroberts3413]

Colin Hi. Love the tone. I'm using the Cygnus 16.02 factory presets and there is no FAS Crunch? Only has FAS Lead, Hot Rod & Modern? Where do I find FAS Crunch? Appreciate it.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks Kevin! Hmm are you using Axe Edit or selecting from the Axe Fx front panel? You may need to update to the latest Axe Edit if it’s not showing up there. Let me know if it still doesn’t work.

[@space7ace77]

Thanks. Yes using the latest version of axe edit and the latest firmware. I tried older firmware (12) and couldn't see it. I tried the manage presets tool as well. I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out? I appreciate the reply.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Ok, it sounds like you’re looking for it as a preset. I don’t believe there are any FAS Crunch factory presets but you can select this model in the Amp Block.

[@kevinroberts3413]

@@ColinGaileyGuitar Brilliant! That did it. I was too focused looking for a preset. Thanks so much for helping me out. I still have a lot to learn about this amazing device.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Awesome, happy to help! Yes, the Axe-Fx is DEEP. Much like music, it seems there’s always more to learn.

[@JB19504]

How about a preset upload.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Yes, I’m working on several presets that I will be sharing soon. I’ll let you know when they go up!

[@bluesdano]

Amazing do you have a custom patch for this?

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks! Not at the moment but I’m in the process of putting together a pack of presets that will be available for download on my website. Will definitely have at least one with this model!

[@bluesdano]

@@ColinGaileyGuitar awesome your channel is amazing.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks Dan really great to hear you dig the channel! Do let me know if there’s some specific content you’d like to see.

[@oldman0995]

Subscribed - did you put the patch on axechang

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Thanks a bunch! I haven’t put the patch up yet but I’ll be sure to tomorrow. I’ll leave a link at the top of this page.

[@ColinGaileyGuitar]

Awesome, I’ll check it out!
