its awesome that the guitar tech can play all the riffs just as good as the band... a very knowledgeable guy and great at explaining everything

I think Brad deserves to have a PRS Signature model… he’s a very underrated guitarist.

Great where can I download the Presets?

How phenomenal. At first, it sounded like a dual rectifier. It's surprising to see that there are two amplifiers: an Orange Tiny Terror and a Soldano Slo 100 in a Alex's rig. The sound is overwhelming.Shinoda's tone is still a rectifier on the left side, but with a friedmann on the right side.

Back in the day, LGM wasn’t played with a synth guitar — it was just standard Drop D with a bit of effects, and you can clearly see that in their 2012 performances. The shift to using synths honestly disappointed me. It feels like Alex doesn’t even get tired on stage anymore, because everything is being handled in the background. Even during WFTE, Brad used to rely on pedals, but now that part seems fully automated too.

01:23 - took me right back to hearing Hybrid Theory for the first time in high school. Fun combo with the Tiny Terror and SLO! Love the gross sounds around 11:00 too.

Holy moly this is by far the best sound i've ever heard. It sounds so clear like a dual rectifier but it has that special other part to it as well. Just blown away wow. I also heard it live in concert but hearing it direct trough headphones is on another level.

This is great! To actually see what the editor shows. I wish you could do an episode of Metallica like this

You should hear these tones live, Prudential Center in NJ sounded MASSIVE

Ben is the man and these new AXEFX are GREAT. FOB and LP have never sounded better.

Would've never expected a citrus terrier as an amp in the preset. Awesome video

I'm very impressed that the tones aren't very scooped at all, probably cuts a lot better live

@joaodepoli 11 months ago

This was awesome, thank you! Next time, please do a Muse tone tour. That would be reeeally fun

Man alive! Even apart from being a LP fan and playing guitar this video is so much fun to watch! Thanks very much to G66 and LP for doing this!!! One day I'll save up enough for a Fractal and go nuts on it myself 😅
