Jazz/Blues Patches

Hi all, Has anyone put together any really excellent jazz/blues patches? Something along the lines of Larry Carlton, BB King, Fourplay, Spyrogyra, etc? The key aspects would be a very good sensitivity to playing softer or turning down the guitar volume to get clean sounds. Give Sapphire Blue by...

How even volume between front and rear inputs

Hi guys, I have been jamming at home using the front input with a cord and gigs with the rear input from my Sennheiser wireless. I recently discovered the odd change in tone was because the rear input was a lot quieter. How to I balance these two the best? I increased the AF out of the...

Best way to alternate rhythm and lead

Hi all, Is there a "best/standard" way to alternate from rhythm to lead? Primary is a volume boost, secondary is perhaps a tad more reverb or delay. Do people use scenes or two patches for that? I've heard someone mention a flat filter, but that seems like a bit of a kludge to me. I have my...

How can I use one volume control for stage, the other for PA

Hi all, I believe in general, the second volume control on the front of the Axe-Fx II is for the effect output. However, I see no need to have anything other than the Axe-Fx, so is there a *global* way to have VOL 1 control output 1 and VOL 2 control output 2, without having to explicitly add...
