Modeled Amps: AND THEN SOME
3•9
AND THEN SOME
18. Fuzz Tones – Although not technically an amp, we felt that the unique tonal
qualities of the classic 1960’s Arbiter Fuzz Face entitled it to a place among the amps
modeled to create the AX2’s TubeTone Amp Models. This fuzz box used broad
frequency, transistor-based clipping. The result is a buzzing kind of distortion that has
become popular again with the alternative and grunge set. Jimi Hendrix was among
the first guitarists to popularize the Fuzz Face in the States, but our model is
considerably dirtier than the tones found on “Are You Experienced.” Try playing
“Satisfaction” by the Stones, or the lead from “American Woman” by The Guess
Who. Liberal use of the Bass, Mid, and Treble controls will let you go beyond the
tones that the Fuzz Face could deliver, enabling you to discover your own unique
recipe for those elusive fuzz tones in your head.
19. Acoustic Simulations
19.1 – This uses the TubeTone magic of the AX2 to create a sound similar to what you
get from an acoustic electric guitar with a piezo pickup. Is it going to replace your pre-
war Martin? Probably not. But if you need a quick acoustic sound for an intro or a
quiet bridge passage, it’s a lot easier than switching guitars.
19.2 – Same as above, but created with a little bit different feel. You could say it’s got
a bit fuller sound, or maybe a tad brighter. Anyway, you’ll want to check ‘em both out
for yourself and see what works best for whatever you’re up to.
BRIGHT SWITCHES
Please see chapter 10 for a chart listing all the Amp Models, and the Bright Switch
default settings for each of them.
