AXE FX III - TOP 5 ROCK/METAL AMPS [w/ patches]

[@LeonTodd]

TONE! These all sound incredible but there's something really special about the way your playing translates to that Plexi model. I'd love to hear some of these in a mix.

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks Leon! Yeah I just love that amp hahah doing a couple of mixtests with these is actually a really good idea!

[@BenEller]

THANK YOU!!!!! These are without a doubt some of the best profiles for rock that i've heard, especially the Friedman!!

[@RoccoPezzin]

Glad you dig these Ben! Big fan of your channel!

[@BenEller]

Rocco Pezzin cheers, man, thank you!!! I’ll definitely be using these on there starting very soon!

[@chriswingateusmc]

I got sent to this video by @@BenEller after asking about his BATM vid. Awesome stuff. Subbed.

[@BenEller]

Friedman and a Charvel...perfect paír! 5:03 Goosebumps!

[@jonthepilot6924]

Love the old Charvel. I still have an old black Model 2 1H that I bought new back in '87 or so.

[@bastianmaoro8278]

Wow! Death!!!

[@elianmorales8062]

Man, this is one of the best demos I’ve ever heard in yt

[@Harry93801]

Dude you and Leon Todd are the two people who hold me over until I have the funds to purchase the Axe FX 3, every video you guys do absolutely slays everything else!

[@MOAB-UT]

Did you finally get your AFXIII? The FM9 is pretty nice too.

[@Marchpip]

that Linkin Park Tone is on fleek. good job man.

[@JustinP.]

Holy shit bro! Best presets I’ve heard so far. Your tone is amazing.

[@daveprimmett7429]

Wow, amazing tone...The 5150, Friedman, & Rectifier melted my brain..! Loved the riff choice too

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks Dave!

[@bobwalters2612]

Great Playin....!! It's all in the fingers. One of the best axe FX demos I have ever heard. I mean you covered everything Rock/Metal!!!

[@ivanmarotomartinez8561]

The tones are gorgeous but dude, that playing... (In the good sense)

[@lovesgibson]

he played really good?

[@Steward2267]

I think you enjoyed the Friedman amp more seeing that you played more songs on that setting than the other ones!

[@RoccoPezzin]

By far my favorite amp, both in the axefx and in real life!

[@gavinpaulhamus9467]

@@RoccoPezzin Does the axe fx sound close to the real thing in your opinion?

[@RoccoPezzin]

@@gavinpaulhamus9467 oh absolutely, I've owned/played several of the amps I usually use on the axefx and I don't miss them at all. I think most of the people saying it doesn't sound like the real thing haven't had much experience listening to a mic'd amp through studio monitors. If you miss the "amp in the room"feel you just run it through a power amp--guitar cab and I guarantee you won't even be able to tell the difference between the unit and a tube head

[@captainoblivious1]

You got me at 5:48 with that Death riff

[@wolverine3344]

Killer Tones Rocco, esp love the Ratt, Dokken Cry of the Gypsy and QR I Don't Believe in Love. So many options with Axe FX-III, will be sure to let them know you deserve the commission on it when i make the jump.

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Loved that you played QueensRyche on the BE-100. Best band of the 80s & 90s on the best amp period.

[@vasiapatov4544]

When you started playing Linkin Park at the end I almost started crying... I love your tastes man, awesome video, truly. Really glad I discovered your channel

[@TheAtrain76]

4:13: "Shake!! ..Shake!! ..Shake it like a rattlesnake...boom boom baby ..out go the la-la-la-la-lights" Wow man with that Charvel/Friedman combo you got the skids down pat my man. Fantastic!

[@sadkebab]

Sto ascoltando il loop questo video da mezz'ora perché è troppo soddisfacente sentirti suonare... magari tutte le demo su YT fossero suonate così

[@RoccoPezzin]

Uei grazie mille!

[@samuelsansao]

Double like for the charvel + friendman who can beat the hard rocks to DEATH

[@GuitarAmp1]

Was that the Nokia ringtone?

Yes lmaooooo

[@adrs2]

Oh, that's why I couldn't find my phone...

[@michel3105]

I vote the Friedman, because of the eighties trip!

[@fullhog]

Yip.. The Freedman for me sounded great!

[@BrunoPeixotoVieira]

My fave too

[@fndrn8]

kicking my self for buying all of these digi amp combos over the years trying to get that 80's rock tone at low volumes and all i had to do was get this. great playing btw.

[@bravado-atributetorush5409]

Fabulous - loved the Ratt/Q’Ryche breakout on the Friedman setting. Well played and thank you for the tips!🤟

[@nickolaynaydenov3292]

I am fascinated by your playing! Exceptional guitarist! Don't stop playing!

[@mlsoundlab]

Rocco you're the best! Awesome video. :) Those are also some of my top amps in the unit. Linkin Park riff!!

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks Mikko! Needless to say most of this patches use your IRs ;)

[@mlsoundlab]

@@RoccoPezzin I'm glad that you like them. :)

[@Harrysound]

The c45 model of the Friedman is the best Friedman model in the Axe IMO. It’s sooo good.

[@gregoryfocarino6871]

Wow what a trip back to the flip phone days

[@xanderjones6239]

I use your mesa dual rectifier as my main rhythm patch. Only modifications are I added a precision drive, and man, IT SLAMS! Thanks for the patches! ❤

[@steve14437]

Dokken, Queensryche, Ratt and EVH in the Friedman section were great!

[@PrakharSrivastav]

Dude amazing tones and insane playing! Wish I could play like you one day!

[@ValentinoFrancavilla]

Round and round 🎶 top, tutti molto belli comunque complimenti!

[@GaryMcNeill]

The last linkin park bit got me right in the childhood - take my sub!

[@jorgemm1000]

That 1959 Marshall tone was Sick, and the Friedman !! Must say that, it s been 3 years, firmwares have been developed, so It has to sound even better !!

[@deans.4705]

absolutely killer player. thanks for the tones Rocco

[@brandonproctor3639]

I think the Dual Rectifier was my favorite followed by the Mesa mk IV and the Friedman is bad ass too! Honestly, they all sounded great man! Awesome playing dude

[@geetargeek79]

I don't understand those who thumbed this down. I don't even use an Axe, but this was very enjoyable to watch and listen to.

Simply Jealousy...been around as long as prostitutes & cockroaches😎

[@pjr.6664]

5150 and the Boogie was strait "beast mode".. Plus, your chops were on point!

[@silverstone3228]

Just subscribed for those reasons: 1- you are an amazing player 2- you are not using backing tracks in your medleys like 99% of the youtubers 3- playing songs not just noodling I have a request though, i would like to hear your take on Michael romeo ( symphony x )medley tones Thank you Rocco❤️ Greetings from Egypt

that AXE FX sounds so great but you are also amazing at playing and creating the sounds

Glad to have you back man! I fcking love your playing! Your touch and vibrato are just 👌🏼 for my musical taste =)

[@Secondheartbeat5]

La patch del Friedman con la Charvel è una mina devastante, proprio il suono lead che io amo. Complimenti perchè sei un gran chitarrista, cambiando discorso l'axe fx III è veramente una macchina della madonna. p.s. mi sono iscritto perchè il tuo canale merita davvero.

[@RoccoPezzin]

grazie mille Danny!

[@chreld]

Rocco you are top notch! Love your style. Love to see more content from you.

[@DarioGrillo]

Hey man, great video ! Excellent your choice of these 5 amps! My bests are the EVH and Friedman for their heavy and hard rock sound but also for their versatility! I'm subscribe to your channel ! Good rock !

These all sound great. Awesome player too!

[@brettshawver2983]

Dude - that Friedman is KILLER! When you cranked out Queensryche - I Don't Believe in Love, man! Everything sounds killer! I'm using a Helix LT because I can't justify paying for a Fractal but this just made me decide to unload some gear to fund a new purchase! LMAO - GAS never sleeps!

[@grahambrecke9292]

Thank you so much... I am almost blind and it is very difficult to use my fx3, thanks to you I can jam my ass off instead of trying to see the screen. Thank you...

[@sergiosg1034]

Amazing tones! However, I think that it is impossible to replicate de low-end of Dual rect, that shaking vibe that the real one has is unique! I have an old 2 channel racktifier here an I love it!

[@faithhopelove6945]

Right, not only the Low End..., also the complete Soundspectrum has more Motion/Life in it, than the Axe Sound..."

[@RHamill7]

Soon as that yellow guitar came out my eyes sunk in to my skull and I was lost in the tones

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

Great tones, great video (one of the best I see ever). Thanks!

[@jaimemonroyofficial]

Marvelous... aside from the tone, mix, technique and composition is what really catch me to hear again and again this video. Of course the tones are clearly 99% as the real amps, but it's just the cherry on the cake.

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks a lot!

Hell yeah, props to the BB.

Wow never heard a Mesa sound so good.
