Bug? Name timeout issue on the MFC Q2.04

Man that has to be a big bummer.. Since I updated to Q3.2 beta (haven't had time to get on official Q3) I haven't had the first name timeout as of yet (fingers crossed). You might be better off to update to Q3.

Do Pro Users Record the Axe-Fx through a mic pre?

Multiband compression

This is what I'm wondering too. This was really cool to share these settings because I've never used the compressors much.

My new favorite Marshall cab! (OH MAR mode four and Q3.00 rock tones)

Nice! Never played a Mode Four, but from what I understand they can handle tons of power pushed into them. Always heard great things from the people who actually owned them. Its def an underrated cab.
