Like, I bought the Manley Massive Passive, and it was beyond my skill set. The set frequencies were such that I couldn't figure it out. I just wanted one that said low, middle and treble, and maybe a sweepable mid.

Find it on:

I work with Waves extensively, and they've been very kind in providing me tools, and I work with Spitfire Audio, and they provided me with a bunch of plug-ins for the orchestral demos. I purchased Omnisphere, which I use a lot, and Ableton, which I use a ton, and I have the Push 2, which I not only have live, but I actually did a lot of the writing of Empath with that; a great system." Less is more, he concludes. "Gear — it's sexy, and I think people fetishise gear. But I found that the less gear I have, now, the less options I have, the more I'm able to articulate what it is that I want, quicker.

You can see that he uses Axe-Fx Ultra . He states he preferes it to Axe-Fx II : "Then all of a sudden I went in with Fractal and I used their product, the Axe-Fx, and there’s nothing else I need. It’s as simple as that. Live, I run it direct to the board, studio I run it direct to the board. It took me a year to get a sound I was satisfied with. I just received the Axe Fx II and it’ll probably take me another year to get to the point where I’m 100% satisfied with that, but it’s the end of the rainbow for me. In a lot of ways it’s disappointing because I used to like going on Harmony-Central.com and looking up tons of vintage, old stupid amps. "
