The original and modified rack from Tony - note the upgrades and read the text as to why he did this at great expense and effort

Mesa Boogie TriAxis Preamp

The Authors TriAxis Rack Set-up.

Here's a shot of my own TriAxis based rack system. This photo has recently been updated and now includes an Intellifex for ambient reverbs (controlled by the ground control kit in real time), a Digitech quad 4 and a Samson power clean. The rack had to be upgraded to a 12U rack and this is HEAVY.  This system is also described on the TriAxis in use page in the TriAxis section of this web - I do hope you like it - it took me a long time to build up the components to a level where I am completely satisfied with the results. The most recent upgrade is the Digital Music Corp. Guitar Audio Switcher & Guitar Audio Mixer controlled by a Ground Control Midi foot controller from the same company. Why not visit their site right now to see a full description of their equipment on offer - just Press Here to visit them, but don't forget to come back! I can only speak good vibes about this switching system and it's bang up to date, unlike lots of second rate ( and mainly second hand ) switchers around at this time.

This is my current rack setup with the old one below it....

Here's the old pic....

Here's an old shot of the back of the rack (if you can stand to look!

Well that's how I did it.... how about you? check out (how to do it) on this site...

It seems that there was a move by manufacturers to drop production of this type of equipment a couple of years ago. It took some time to track down this equipment solution so do visit their site and you may well find that what they offer fits the bill like no other gear in the world - Oh and if you live in the UK then you can get DMC gear from Sounds Great in Manchester ( Tel 0161 436 4799 and ask for Rick ). They have a guy there that actually has a clue about what he is doing .... you've probably met the rest of the many "experts" in the music shops who simply don't know their elbow from their false teeth..... give these guys at Sounds Great a call you've got nothing to lose and much to gain.....

At the bottom of the page are some presets to download

Below are my older presets for the TriAxis - there are some great sounds in this table and they have taken a long time to hone - compare them with the table previously on the page which reflected some of my even older sounds - there's a vast change - mainly due to the changing methods that I use to play guitar today. Here's the May 2000 presets - they do remain my copyright. If you use my settings please say so on your album cover and I'll be fine.

The presets  below are (c) Tony McKenzie 1998/99/2000/1/2/3/4/5 but you may use them for tweaking your own sounds in your TriAxis set-up. I hope you like them. I have moved on even further since these sounds were developed but you can hear some of these on our Real Audio and Video pages accessible from the main home page of this web. I do intend to publish some even newer settings more suitable for the rack as described on this page so bookmark it NOW !
