    65 bassguy Firmware 19.05 - Low harmonics overtones problem

    Probably ghost notes. NMV amps with lowish filtering do this all the time when turned up past a certain point, as I learned the hard way a while back. This is completely normal amp behavior, unfortunately. Lots of master volume amps with higher power supply filtering (like the Brit800) won't do...

    Synth Block

    All this, plus try using your guitar’s neck pickup.

    Big Problem With Noise!

    Dimmers are the worst. They dirty up your AC power and throw off heinous interference. I had a single dimmer in a room located on the other side of the house from my studio--like, literally forty feet away--and the noise it threw off whenever somebody used it was truly awful. It made anything...

    AX8 vs Axe FX II pros and cons live use

    Axe-FX II - Pros: Global blocks. If I need to tweak the volume of my solo sound, I can do it in one preset and it works everywhere. Two amp blocks, which means I can seamlessly crossfade or switch between different sounds with no audio gap. Lots of horsepower, so I can do more with one...

    High Gain live tips

    I think working the volume knob is pretty much a necessity past a certain point. Possibly a noise gate will help you out here, too.

    AxeFX + XiTone

    I use a Xitone wedge as well, and it's great. The coverage is particularly nice--I played a gig this summer with a small PA that the sound guy didn't want to run anything through but vocals, so I just put the wedge on its end on a stand behind me and got great stage coverage and "FOH" sound from it.

    Help with cabinet simulator while using a real poweramp and real cabinet

    I use a Royer R-121 to shoot IRs of my cabinet, and those are typically the only IRs I use. I've got one IR in particular I like and I use it across nearly all presets. So what you're going for should work. :) It takes a modest amount of fiddling to get the mic in the right position for the...

    Help with Boxy Plexi

    Depending what you mean by boxy, it might be that all Plexis have that to some extent. They definitely have this kind of woody thump that could be construed as such. I find that most boxiness can be gotten rid of by cutting 400 Hz or thereabouts.

    Low end punch problems

    Could be your low frequency speaker resonance in the amp block is too low. Try taking it up some? This helped me out quite a bit: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/about-speaker-lf-resonance.78003/

    Wah...Wah...What The!??

    I've only done this about, oh, a hundred times. :)

    Anybody own two...

    I keep a Tech21 Flyrig 5 in my guitar case as an emergency backup, but a second AX8 would be nice. :)

    gig worthy

    I've had nothing but great shows with mine, too. Equipment-wise, anyway. :)

    Pairing the Axe FX 2 with real amps + Suhr reactive load

    I take the output of a Suhr reactive load into a Torpedo C.A.B. or the Axe FX 2. Works great!

    Acoustic through AX8

    A great mic sure helps, but if you have access to even a decent mic, you might like it. I really dislike that piezo sound, so in my case I'd probably prefer an average (or worse) mic than the straight pickup.

    Acoustic through AX8

    What he said. I also use a cab block with an IR of my acoustic guitar, captured on an Axe-FX II, and that really helps with the realism and virtually eliminates the piezo quack. If you have the ability to shoot an IR of your guitar, I can't recommend it enough.
