    Are all Furman power conditioners compatible with the Axe FX 2?

    Hey guys. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a Furman power conditioner. Both to help reduce EMI interference with the Axe FX, as well as protect the Axe FX and my other gear from power spikes. Anyway, I know there are a bunch of version of the rack mounted power conditioners, and I'm...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Balanced to balanced cables I mean. The XLR output from Axe fx, left output, to the interface TRS input, via the XLR to TRS cable.

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Alright now it makes sense. I will probably just use a balanced XLR to TRS cable from the axe fx to the focusrite just to play it safe like the guy on the phone said. I'll just leave the output of the Axe fx to sum L+R since I'd just be using the left output. Then I'll set the focusrite to line...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Alright, I actually just got off the phone with tech support from Focusrite, and the guy said to switch the interface to Line, which would need me to get an XLR female to TRS male, use the TRS line input on the interface, and then set the gain on the interface to about 4 1/2. Then control the...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Okay I'm a little confused. You said I can use the XLR input on my interface, and switch to line, but then you said it selects the 1/4" input. I'm a little confused on this. So do I wanna use the XLR output of the Axe fx to the XLR input of the interface, and just select line level or do I need...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Alright for the interface I want, I just looked at the inputs and specs, and each input has an XLR labeled Mic, and right under it is the quarter inch cable labeled "line" Does that mean I have to get an XLR to line plug adapter if I'm using the Axe fx XLR output, or on the interface itself, I...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Excuse me if this is an easy question, I've only been recording for a little over a year and a half now. But if I use the XLR output of the Axe Fx, and it's line level, does that mean that on my interface, I turn the switch on to "line" instead of mic, on the mic/line combo inputs? And I'm...

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    Haha to be honest I have no idea what a word clock is, other than it has something to do with a slave and having the things with word clocks set at the same number. Other than that I have no idea what it's for or why I need one.

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    You did make a good point of the Axe fx emulations as analog. I never thought of that but it is true. I will make sure whatever interface I purchase will have good analog gear inside of it.

    Advice needed on using the XLR D/A ouputs, into XLR A/D inputs of interface

    I agree with what you said about the gain settings. I'm gonna play around with both the Axe fx and the interface, find the perfect non clipping input for the axe fx, and make sure the input of the interface won't have any unneeded gain or clipping from the axe fx so none of the sounds gets...

    Which do you think would work better? Routing the signal via SPDIF from my mbox back to the axe fx, or the Radial Reamping pack?

    A question about panning stereo cabs in the Axe Fx

    Oh okay. So if I understand this correctly, say I pan a stereo cab with 2 different cabs -50 and 50. That means that each cab, say the right, will have the full mix of whatever cab I have on there, but also the right will have a 50% mix of the left cab right? Or do I have this wrong?
