    Adjusting the Value Knob

    So I'm admittedly an idiot with such things and also admittedly did little to no research on this, so feel free to flame me on this if the question is dumb and/or the answer is readily available. Is there any way to adjust the Value Knob encoder so that its rate of.. uh... position values moves...

    new line6 pod hd500 ? anyone hear about this

    Let's not make too many snap judgments about new PODHDs based purely on those sound clips. Not too long ago, we were the very same people defending the Axe-FX to all the hordes of people saying the same negative stuff about the Axe-FX based on shitty internet clips. This is not to say that the...

    Power Conditioners (esp. Furman Merit Series)

    The RP-8 is a discontinued model and I think the M-8 is probably either equal or a step down. I believe the RP-8 had a bit more conditioning but not sure on this. Yeah there's a lot of technical mumbo jumbo that gets thrown around, but generally in terms of Furman products imo you want the...

    Power Conditioners (esp. Furman Merit Series)

    I guess if you really don't want lights or indicators yet still want something better than the Merit series, then this is probably the closest you'll get for still relatively cheap: http://www.furmansound.com/product.php? ... =P-8PRO_II I dunno, I love all the lights and extra bells and...

    Power Conditioners (esp. Furman Merit Series)

    Hmmm, I feel like I just posted about power conditioners just a few threads down. Yeah, the Merit series for Furman are pretty much glorified power-strips. They supposedly have the least amount of filtration/conditioning, uses sacrificial movs so they've only got a capacity for 1 or 2 big hits...

    Furman Voltometer Readings

    I don't mind you asking, I'd be curious myself, but I'm not at liberty to say. There's kind of an implicit understanding between employee and distributor not to divulge the margins involved in their products in return for being able to get those products at cost. This makes sense especially...

    Furman Voltometer Readings

    I wrestled with the issue of power conditioning for quite some time. There is so much drifting, conflicted info on the net that it's very difficult to ascertain exactly how necessary good power conditioning is. I have had power surges and spikes blow up sh*t in the past, so I know that stuff...

    What gauge strings do you guys use?

    Informative responses, thanks fellas. I've culled some workable ideas. Particularly those bluechip picks, strumzilla (great forum name), I've been looking for an alternative to those large stone picks for a long time and these have definitely piqued my interest. http://www.bluechippick.net/...

    BFD2 vs SD 2 vs SSD 3.5 ?

    I use BFD2. It has amazing, very realistic sounds. However, the library is enormous and as a non-drummer the super deep level of control is a bit overwhelming. It's similar to what I feel the Axe-FX would be like for a drummer who's just picking up guitar but knows very little about it and...

    What gauge strings do you guys use?

    I'm contemplating changing the gauge of strings I've been using for quite awhile. Currently I'm using .012-.052's and while I enjoy the thick tone I'm capable of getting from those strings, I do quite a lot of bending and vibrato and quite frankly, I'd like an easier time of it. lol...

    For all those who place their AxeFX on TOP of their Furman

    Re: For all those who place their AxeFX on TOP of their Furm There's a lot of conflicting opinions when it comes to power surge protectors/conditioners. However I've never been able to find conclusive evidence one way or the other in terms of their overall effectiveness. It does seem that...

    For all those who place their AxeFX on TOP of their Furman

    This may be common knowledge, but it wasn't to me until just recently. As the title goes, for those that have their Axe-Fxs (or any other sensitive electronic equipment such as a laptop, HDD etc..) sitting directly on TOP of a Furman power conditioner, I recommend to stop and change their...

    Power Conditioner

    I've been using a Cyberpower UPS to power my Axe-Fx, among other things, in my home studio. However, I've been researching this to a degree and it appears that amplifiers and other high current components can starve the available juice in an UPS in addition to overly draining its battery should...

    New song - (Prog/tech/djent/ambient) new patch

    Fucking dope as always, love this kid's shit. 1:41-1:55 is particularly fresh. You guys are a bit too quick to classify this stuff as straight up djent. It's djenty fer sure BUT there are definitely other things going on in there that kinda transcend the genre for me. Not to mention the tone...

    QSC K10 vs K12

    Well, I'm testing out the K10, haven't been really able to gun it, but so far it's pretty decent. However, I have to admit, it does sounds a bit, er, flat. And slightly boxy, but that might be more due to the 10 inch rather than 12 inch speaker. I'll have to see how well the K10 competes with a...

    QSC K10 vs K12

    QSC K10 vs K12

    I have the opportunity to get either at a low price, however the price I can get the K10 at is obviously more attractive and I'm loving how compact/light it is in comparison. Anyone have any experience comparing both of them for the Axe-fx in an FRFR context? I wondering if I'll have...

    YouTube - Guitar Solo

    Very nice. Really digging how structured and crafted this solo seems to be (although if you just improvised that you're a bad-ass.) Is that line you play at starting at about 40 seconds a nod to dime-bag? If so, BAD-ASS, reminds me of the solo line dime-bag plays on Psycho Holiday at about 2:44...

    Axe-Fx and the ZT Lunchbox

    Keeping the Axe-Fx in an enclosed 2U rack case at all times

    Re: Keeping the Axe-Fx in an enclosed 2U rack case at all ti So it would seem by your comment that the Axe-Fx is in more danger of other components than it's own self-generated heat. That would make storing the unit in it's separate rack case a good idea imo. I'll probably keep the unit in...

    Keeping the Axe-Fx in an enclosed 2U rack case at all times

    I've noticed that the Axe-Fx has no real vents (although I can definitely hear that fan). There's quite a bit of room inside the chassis for air to move around so that seems fine. Currently I have the unit in a tightly enclosed 2U rack space and I kinda want to leave it in there pretty much...

    Turning Axe-Fx off

    Well I just received the unit a few days ago, so it's still in the 2 week audition process. 2k makes me a bit nervous for untried technology (like many others, I'm a tried and true tube guy) so I guess I'm micro-analyzing things a bit too much. To be honest, I enjoy the unit immensely however...

    Turning Axe-Fx off

    So I guess my overt awareness of the Axe-Fx as an expensive computer encased in a 2U rackspace begs me to question, do you guys just turn it on and off at will? I'm unaccustomed to just turning computers off like a lightswitch, is there some part that I'm missing? Is it better to leave it on...

    Difficulty getting pure, undistorted signal in Ultra

    Another problem I hope is just the byproduct of my noobery. I've noticed this static consistent buzziness coloring all the patches, it's very faint, kindof sitting on top of everything if that makes any sense, but more pronounced with the high gain patches (go figure). Initially, I thought with...

    New Ultra, old stupid brain!

    okay figured out how to get output, now I see that only the "L" input is lighting up on the Ultra, the "R" leds do not engage, does that mean I'm playing in mono vs stereo?

    Four Space Rack?
