Hi dudes,

The tones on Andy Timmon's CD Resolution are some of the best that have graced my ears, and I ever since getting the Axe-FX I've been meaning to give a proper shot at nailing it (I tried soon after getting the Axe and it got positive feedback but in retrospect it was a long way off). Anyway, without further ado, here is me hacking a couple of sections from two tracks from Resolution. Go easy on me - it's been a long while since I last tried playing these tunes and these are just quick one-takers done without a click:

The guitar is my Blackmachine B2 with a pair of Bare Knuckle Mule pickups. I've got the tone rolled back a touch, and for The Prayer/The Answer I rolled back to volume knob to begin with, then gradually opened it up to about 9.

As promised, here's the patch:

There's 0 post-processing on the clip at all. The tone isn't absolutely 100% spot on, but it's close enough for now :)
 
Dear god! That tone is very pleasing haha, and essentially identical. Though, I like this better, having the Mules probably rubbed a little extra funk on it.
 
Ooh, it is very, very close to Andy's tone to my ears. Seriously though, great jobs getting all the notes crisply played. Clearly, you've practiced his licks a lot. I like the Prayer cover best. Awesome. And, you did all of the with the AXE-FX. That thing is so impressive.

I don't think you need to get any closer to be honest with you. Your playing and your tones are very pleasing to the ear. That, in the end, is what matters most IMO.
 
Awesome ! Thanks a lot ! Tone is perfect ! Now i try to play this song. :rock:
 
Sounds close lil more delay 325ms and 510ms mix works the best:)
 
Great job, sounds very close. But who the hell cares if it's not exactly the same, it sounds damn good and thats all that matters. Nice playing too!
