The Ultimate Recording Device For Lead and Rock Guitarists!
As most guitarists and studio musicians already know, it is virtually impossible to
record natural sounding overdriven and distorted guitar tones via the output jack
(preamp out, line output, recording output or speaker output) of any guitar amp.
The warm sound desired by most guitarists can only be created by a speaker responding
to an overdriven or distorted signal. Direct amplifier outputs sound fake, fuzzy and
extremely harsh. The AxeTrak® alleviates this problem by allowing the user to connect
directly from the speaker jack of their guitar amp to the input jack of the AxeTrak®.
The output of the AxeTrak® is then plugged into a recording console or mixing board
using a standard low impedance microphone cable. The AxeTrak® is hand made and assembled
in the USA. Built the old fashion way, with pride and attention to detail, one unit at a time.
What is the AxeTrak®?
The AxeTrak® is a valuable production tool that allows the engineer, producer, or player a means
to quietly capture the unique characteristics of their individual guitar sound. This compact
electronic enclosure is capable of producing natural sounding rhythms, and screaming lead guitar
tones when plugged into a mixing board, soundcard, or recording console. Don't let the compact
size fool you! The AxeTrak® is fuse-protected and will handle approximately 75 watts RMS of power.
The AxeTrak® works perfectly with any 15 - 100 watt RMS guitar amplifier that can drive an 8 ohm
load.
However, it is not designed to handle high-power guitar amplifiers cranked at full volume
like a power attenuator. Instructions for high-power use are clearly explained in the user
manual and on our faq's page. The enclosure is made out of high quality birch plywood for a
warm tight sound, and is covered with heavy-duty, charcoal gray speaker carpet for sound
dampening and long lasting durability. The heavy-duty 6" driver used in the AxeTrak® is
custom made to our unique specifications by Eminence Speaker. The sound is converted into
an electrical signal with the use of a dynamic microphone cartridge, which has been carefully
selected and modified exclusively for this device. This cartridge is meticulously placed and
aligned to our exact requirements, and is permanently mounted inside the enclosure. This
allows the user to produce the best possible variety of USABLE guitar tones.
Now you can record the big rock sound of your high gain guitar amplifier without disturbing your neighbors.
No professional or home studio should ever be without this device. Quite simply, the AxeTrak®
is a crunchy, grindy, rock & roll, rhythm and lead direct box for electric guitar players.
The AxeTrak® is hand made and constructed using only the finest components to insure years of great sounding trouble
free recordings. The cabinet is made from high quality birch plywood for a warm, tight sound. The AxeTrak® also
features an easy access "Deep Plug" that can be easily removed for ultra deep bass response if desired, and a
“High Frequency Roll-Off Switch” for guitarists that want more of a fat, off-axis type sound, with less sizzle.
The heavy-duty 6" driver used in the AxeTrak® is custom made to unique specifications by Eminence Speaker.
