Cool new sounds

Since acquiring an Axe-Fx Ultra, I've been unable to cleanly switch between using the Axe-Fx as a preamp and the preamp section of my Sherlock Fathead...

Allegedly, the output (2) of the Axe-fx can be routed to the input of an amp head (it's on the Fractal wiki page) and the input and output 1 are used as send/return to the amp head. Like many others, I tried this and it was noisy and changed the sound of the FATHEAD

Until now.

If you set the levels as suggested by Cliff Chase in the Axe forum and have all the dials on the front of the unit set to around 1 o'clock it's SWEET.

Now I can put effects like compression and octave in front of the Fathead, which sounds obese!

Cool new sound clips are forthcoming ;-)

Chaos and Masonik 5th November 2010 at 140William

Something completely different!

Masonik invited Pranjal and Sandro to perform with him at 140William. The gig was sponsored by WAM and it went over really well - about 2 hours of electronic beats, with live bass and guitar. Fun!

New Recordings

Chaos Engine brought their recording equipment to their new rehearsal space.

The preliminary mixes are sounding really good - the drums are huge!

Final mixes are now done, have a listen in the Engine Room

Real drums

Playing at the Emergenza festival at the Rosemount, Dr B showed us what he can do with a real drum kit.

Sooooon, we'll have some acoustic drums along with the V-drums and it will be AWESOME
