Anyone remember that terrible Axe FX Demo posted recently..?

As per title... It was some bloke trying to shred and sweep - "I'm just getting back into playing" or something was the reason for missing a few notes... (ok, he missed every note! ) Cant recall the thread, but I think the original YouTube vid was removed, but reappeared later on

Footswitches for volume increase & decrease - possible on Ultra but not on II..?

Didn't want to hijack Boardwalk's similar thread, so... With the Ultra, one could do that rather neat trick of plugging in a pair of non-latching footswitches and assigning them to CC35 & CC36 to knock the preset volume up and down a notch (the 'autosave' element of that is pure genius by the...
