These videos are, hands down, the best demos of a product I've ever seen. Great job. Suggestion for later videos, put the song name in the screen too.

Yes the Axe unit is amazing .... and the player is world class and beyond ! Totally enjoyed every riff . Simply awesome .

Virtually every amp sounds like there's a Treble pedal in front for that clicky punch. No true sag, very solid state and I think that's what people like.

The Flamed necks on those musicman guitars is beautiful

This is fantastic. My ears perked up when I heard you play a few bars of RacerX in part1, but then I literally spat out my tea when you launched into one of my own 90s band’s songs here in part2. Great job !

Most Excellent. I am sold. They just need to get them back in stock

Great demo, thanks for that Paradigm Shift by LTE. Got my smile going.

If this doesn't prove amps are finally dead I don't know what does. Those Ernie Ball guitars sound freaking amazing. That JP15 is a monster axe. I have no clue how you remembered all of those riffs. I love my XLII, but might be time to upgrade to the III and buy this patch bank.

Wow, thanks so much for all the time it must have taken to put that together! Superb playing, feel and tone. Well done! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Effects presets always make you want to play the riff they remind you of but this takes it to another level! Awesome video.

This is amazing! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Love the riff choices too.

Uuhh, even Redbone and that Jackass riff. Cool👌🏻

Whoa, that neon riff is sooo amazing!!! (hard to play as well)

I cannot thank you enough for doing this. I have been back and forth on the Axe III vs a certain tube amp or two and you have helped me immensely. Basically, if someone cannot get at least one great tone (several actually) out of an Axe III/Fractal unit, it's not the fault of the gear. Going to order a III as soon as funds allow.

Fantastic! I'm listening to these with Spotify pulled up and going to the full songs!

NOW I get why they cost so much, incredible tone, well played, fantastic talent and thanks for posting it must of taken hours 👍👍👍

Came for the axe stayed for both parts for playing. Awesome. So many songs I forgot. Freaking halo too! Lol

I got taken to a different dimension when you busted out Living Colour.

Amazing job. Great playing. Lots of inspiring tones. You gave me some great ideas for covering tunes. Cheers.

Great vid!! Been waiting for something like this

Drivin’ n Cryin’!!!

sounds pretty good. really lets the tone of guitar shine through.

Great playing mate!

13:53 - "That Thing You Do" !! Nice choice!

Carter thank you so much sorry I didn’t find this earlier oh yes by the way you rock bro

Like anyone ever needed that many.

i lost it when you played bad asteroid jhdkslahdfas

Well done on spirit of radio! Very clean

Wow, amazing player

Just WOW...! You sure win on "betcha can't play this" :-))

awesome playing and respect for going all the way bro! I particularly like the Friedman HBE from the new axe fx 3, it just sounds killer. I have used it on a clip too (destroyer of dreams)

You play really well eric johnson, he is my favorite guitarist ever...

Halo 2 theme hahahaha that was amazing

Mega props for the Andy Timmons! He's a god among men. I'm sold, this thing is bitchin..

You’re hired! When can you start? I hope they paid you well for that. Excellent.

INsane Work !!! Great !! Amazing !!!!

Is interesting how you achieved very close tones to the originals. Some of the amps I didn't recongnize.

wow lots of great riffs in here!!! great job!!...it would be cool to see how close you can get the axe fx3 to sound like the iconic guitar riffs on the recordings

16:34 - essential to pull the right face.

Howdy sir are these straight out of the box presets or did you modify them. Are they straight from the Naked amps download? And lots of guitar knowledge well done .

Nice selection again! Peg, Backstreet Boys, and the Jackass theme? Haha

Question? How long did it take to put this video together? Great stuff!

Put me down for one of those Axe Fx III and a JP15

thanx for great video! can you write what kind of music man's you used here, please

"Strange Deja Vu" and "Sultans of Swing" got me too hype.

Well, fucking sold. I’m selling my Triple Rectifier and buying an FM3

Fantastic job cooper. Helped me last night for a gig. Is it possible to get more details regarding the extra effects you put in for each of the naked amp presets?

Hrumph - "Jackass Theme" - that's "Corona" by the Minutemen

Last Week Tonight FTW @ 18:06

Cooper how long have you been playing guitar for and how long did it take you to learn all these riffs and get to an advanced playing level? Did you take lessons and if so how long for? Nice playing. Been curious about how the Axe FX III compares to the Kemper.

Hi Cameron superb video, what model is the music man with the 15 at the first fret? Thanks

Thanks Cooper! Question: Do you use the Mission Engineering FRFR? Thanks again..

The "Jackass theme" is actually called "Corona" by the Minutemen.

great demo, if i had the money i'd get one for sure. btw...where did you get the computer wallpaper? its awesome man.

Question- these are naked presets, correct??? So you added all the effects, and are not included when purchasing from AB??? Awesome as always Cooper!

Man!!! How did you get the Comfortably Numb tone?

Hey Cooper, how is the FC12? I noticed the same on the floor....If you can give some insight.... that will be great.

What pack are these from please? Amazing on so many levels 👍

Can we play redbone melody with dual pitch effect?

Hey Cooper! Incredible work buddy. I’m thinking of buying the new Fractal FM3 . Will these downloads work with that unit ? Also , is your website down at the moment ? I can’t seem to access austinbuddy.com Thanks in advance ! Steve

Just bought the Axe-Fx lll but I don't see any of these presets you are playing on. Are these presets part of the Austin Buddy tone packs?

I’m in the slow class but I’m guessing that you like EB/MM guitars? 😜 nice axe and playing. You gotta button at least on button on that shirt though little brother! Seriously sweet gear and tones!

After someone wins, post up the list of the songs!

Only right some dt and liquid tensions thrown in on the music men

Anyone know what the Tube Pre riff at 19:55 is? It sounds like an older Opeth riff, but not sure.

You, Sir, have way to much time on your hands =P. How come the Recto's are so super fuzzy?

man, that has incredible amount of sounds, but some sound too digital. And it is too expensive as well, like 3 times the GT1000. I dont really know what it is.. is it better than AX8?

Is this every preset, or just one preset with all different amps????

Why are there commercials in a commercial?

Anybody know what song 250 is?????

The truth is you need to tweak each and every amp in there to your guitar. maybe if you have a run of the mill stock guitar you be ok. I dont do that. I have Tom Anderson h3+ in the bridge, H1- in the neck. extreme I know but the practice of tweaking the presets to your guitar is important, usuallky get a better sound if I start a preset new and dial it in to my guitar.

Are these all preset patches that come as is with the unit?

How well does this do metallica? I keep hearing it doesn't do Metallica very well at all that I should get an AxeFx II...

Is it 0:39 theme from "Jackass" ? :D

Do Austinbuddy do artist presets for the AX8?

I know, compared to past units from various companies e.g. VG8/99, Line6 etc etc, this unit is 'fantastic' and offers an almost infinite routing and processing capability with bags of processing power to spare, but....BUT!!! there's something 'organic' clearly missing. The interaction and feedback from a real tube amplifier + real speaker + real FX, pedals etc is not there, and this is a long-standing and still present criticism. I love this technology and, along with computer 'plug-ins' e.g. FX, Positive Grid etc etc, works well in a mix. But on their own (including this Mk III version) I find the sounds very lacking compared to the 'real thing'. However, I'd imagine younger folk growing up in this modern real-amp-less world won't be as put-off compared to the rest of us who grew up with the real thing. Still, that difference is very definitely still there. A good 'real' amp + pedals is hugely versatile!

I take it this was done directly through the USB interface?

Aw man I was hoping for some Yngwie Nvm

What song is played at 11:34?

Omg Donald Glover's

Time stamps would've been cool

What song is at 13:40?

Needs numbers next to the amp name. Time code in the description. Very hard to follow.

Bass and electric guitar great; what about the acoustic guitar?

This guy is an amazing player. He's the MACHINE!!! Now the actual unit though just sounds like typical digital modeling, nothing special. Nothing here sounds like a real amp for live work just a cool toy to play with at home.
