Headless guitars have made in inroads into the modern guitar environment lately. They're light, ergonomic, easy to play and offer better stability than their older cousins thanks to the string locking arrangement at both ends of the instrument. This kind of performance can be expensive but Artist Guitars seem to have negated that with an instrument that features stainless steel frets, quarter-sawn Canadian maple neck, eco-Ebony fretboard, great Alnico V pickups that can be split and a solid Paulownia body. You can take the Modric home for well under AUD$500 which is a bargain, in my opinion. Great stuff, Artist! And Happy New Year everyone.

$Axe-FX III: TryAxiStrat. Free patch based on Mesa TriAxis models. JJs 63 Pickups. No-Chat Demo Download link: https://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=11665 The recent release of FW: 28.05 for Axe FX III sees a bunch of amps remastered, including the USA Pre suite which is based on the Mesa TriAxis Preamp. This is a preamp that usually conjures up humbucker-powered muscular tones in my head so I was interested to see if I could make it work with a plain old Strat. I like the results so much I think Ill port it to the FM9 and use it on the road when we go out again in June. This no-chat Scene playthrough uses my Fender 61 AVRI with JJs 63 Set Pickups.

Theres a dedicated demo of it on this channel if youre interested and Ill leave the link below. I wanted to write an Axe-FX III/FM9 stage patch for it along the lines of something Id use and then play the hell out of the guitar to see how resilient the tremolo is. Turns out its VERY resilient (stays in tune) as I really gave it a hiding. This is that patch. Elevated Jam Tracks provide the backing track (thanks again, Tom!). You can download the preset* from https://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=11729 *Although Im yet to test it, this one should also run on FM9 if its running current beta or V10 firmware. For those who dont own an Axe-FX, you can keep an eye on the upper right screen which Ive focused on the amp block so you know vaguely whats going on. After the amp block I have a stereo delay and some mild medium room reverb. Before it is a compressor, phaser, vibe and several different overdrives, mostly the classic SD-1. The SLO100 Scene needs no extra OD.

$Taking the Echo Fix EF-X3 Chorus Echo for a Spin Its Sunday. Time to relax a bit. The Echo Fix Chorus Echo EF-X3 arrived a couple of days ago and what a cool machine it is. Its a proper tape echo built to last with every conceivable modification and control that they could think of. Amazing. So Ive inserted it into the Two notes Reload IIs effects loop to have some fun. The Reload II is seeing the 16Ω speaker output from the Marshall SV20H. Before the Marshall I have a Klinger custom pedal that Shaun built for me. Its a triple whammy with MK1/MKII/MKIII and some extras. Another amazing piece. Im running the Reload II into the Axe which is hosting a GB 4x12 IR. The Axe is feeding, via S/PDIF, my PreSonus Quantum 26x32 which is a top soundcard but sadly no longer in production (they have plenty of other great stuff out there though). Backing track Funky Bluesy Groove - Am is by Elevated Jam Tracks. This is not my EF-X3 demo proper. There is a lot of ground to cover with this machine and that demo will appear in the coming weeks.
