I respectfully disagree. The High end sounds less defined and the mids sound mushy, at least on my M-audio's. I am sure with enough EQ magic you could get the axe to sound like the bias, but that is kinda impractical for most guitarists, since most aren't studio engineers. That said, you can't really go wrong with either.

Could be the difference between our output devices. I still think AFX sounds a lot better, but there's one major area where bias definitely has an advantage: reamping : D I'm considering buying it just for that purpose.

It is a 10th of the cost and while it may not be better it certainly is on par and can hold its own against the Axe.

These kinds of comparisons are of little value although the video is presented in an entertaining and well-produced manner. There is no true breakdown as to what is needed for the end user and there is only one user-case shown. Offhand, the following issues or circumstances are not addressed: • With which setup would you rather gig? • Outside of the personal recording studio, other usage-cases are not discussed. • The cost of 'full rigs' for both setups is not discussed. BIAS requires the purchase of a computer, soundcard and other peripherals. The Axe-FX is the computer and also acts as a low-latency, 4-IN/2-OUT, soundcard in a computer setup. • The Axe-FX offers a proper and low-noise Hi-Z guitar input. • The Axe-FX offers a greater degree of compatibility and interchangeability between users and setups. Not every computer will run another person's setups. To the person looking at videos, it is extremely important to thoroughly analyse your desired goals and intended uses. I wrote up a chart in Excel and compared various software solutions against the Fractal Axe-FX and Kemper Profiler. This exercise, which only took an hour, weeded out many offerings. Also, at $200, the BIAS package can often be added to anyone's setup as long as they aren't on the strictest of budgets. For many, the cost will be deciding factor anyhow. There's even a video of Mark Holcomb, of Periphery, demoing Positive Grid's software just to right of the window in which I'm typing. Differing tools for different jobs. Comparisons, especially when well presented and entertaining, are fun and somewhat useful although the end-user gets the most value of knowing more about what they truly need to accomplish before making a decision.

It depends on how you set it up. I always had noise gate on to the lowest and when I'm not playing and I still get sound I will turn it up. I put the volume nob on my guitar to half so it doesn't get too much input. Then download other peoples set up and see if it works, sometimes the download screws up and it makes the tone really noisy. Once you've downloaded a tone, tweak it and try out different things. Aturn3d on here makes videos on how to get a certain tone of a band, like A Day to Remember and August Burns Red, which you can check out I give you an idea. I was the same when I first got Bias FX, I couldn't get any good tone until I used it a lot more and tried out different things.

It depends of the sound card you're using.

I second that. I can't make any decent high gain sounds from it. Jon from Sonic Drive Studio can't too. Bias is shit. Really.

If the AXE FX was such a pain in the butt, why didn't you just use a real amp?

Axe FX sounds better. Bias is too thin.

I had the same thought but you do have to admit for someone interested in something affordable for entry level or hobby use...uts pretty cool. But if I was a pro I would take the axe
@bastaudio9 жыл бұрын
Bones12x2 I agree with that. I prefer the real deal to the Axe (compare a real 5150 to the Axe and the real deal wins) but pro level Bias isn't bad.

Koedix Depends on the amp model. The treadplate and 5153 models have a lot of low end.

Just wondering if Steve has ever tried Scuffham Amps S-Gear. The Wayfarer amp model on it does some very nice high gain tones.

So how would you use this software live? Most people want to have the same sound on their album as they do when they perform live, a sort of signature tone, Or at the very least they want to be able to re-create live what they did in the studio as accurately as possible!

srry if i sound stupid while asking this. I dont know much about the AXE FX or bias. Are you able to use bias live or in the studio only. I use an EVH 5150 currently. The exact one you see in this video. Thats probably the most high tech gear i have.

bias doesnt have as much selection as an axe fx. you get literally hundreds more amps and cabs and thousands more combinations
@Corey_G8 жыл бұрын
That doesn't matter. You only need a few good tones. It's not quantity, it's quality..... :0)
@noreaction18 жыл бұрын
+Corey Gilchrist when recording a wide variety of genres I need to be able to pick from a wide variety of amp and cab combinations. Bias is good for a few specific tones but I would still need more
@MarkTiarra9 жыл бұрын
Pretty incredible for $200, but I did like the Axe tones a fair amount better on your comparisons here. Still, I'll have to pick it up and have a play. Is there any mechanism for switching that is useful in a live environment?
