Pre-tutorial video. I've successfully modeled Line 6's DM4 Tube Drive with the Axe-Fx Tube Drive model. This is a quick preview of my tone on the main riff.
Part 1 - Cover
Cover of U2's "Vertigo." Based on the version from the "Live in Chicago" Vertigo tour DVD, but with the 360 tour siren. I added the siren at the end also. Recorded with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx Ultra (tube drive, amp model, delays and reverb) and Death by Audio's Fuzz Gun pedal for the siren (borrowed from Helena). Guitar: Fender Telecaster with Kinman Broadcaster pickups. Guitar is slightly higher in the mix than it should be so you can hear the tone of the guitar better.
