    Treble booster question

    This could help to get what you're looking for,or not but a parameter often forgotten or overlooked is the InputZ in the input/gate section, i play mainly a strat and i use this parameter to "tune" the response of my guitar by selecting a suitable loading/cap value in order to get the resonance...

    Zemaitis Bare knuckle "The mule" pick ups (greco guitars)

    Cool guitar, cool video. :-) Another + for BK Mule pick-ups. I know guitar tones can be very subjective depending on taste/style/players, but the tones i'm getting since i dropped a set in my 91 LesPaul std are just gorgeous, way better than with the originals.

    Diezel, Vibro Verb, Marshall 50 W with Ultracabs

    Hey Hubi, While i appreciate many many guitars sounds (including angry ones) i'm more of a mid gain roar player, and i got to say those patches sounds really good on my DiMarzio Area equipped Strat, very minor tweaks to obtain gorgeous tones. Thanks alot for those patches !

    Breakup on clean patches + global EQ

    I don't know for others but i'm doing fine with those presets. I'm using relatively low output pick-ups though. So if you're using higher output pick-ups or have them set close to your strings you may need to tweak the input trim in the "adv" tab of the amp block to tame your input, then the...

    Encoder issues

    @ JOHNNYROCKIT and others, The tools are nothing special, really. You need a good soldering iron, temperature contollable if possible and a good set of small solid long nose pliers and shear cutters. I used solder wick, i like it better than a solder sucker enabling you to do the job faster...

    9.02 Amp Model Poll

    To my ears, 9.02 is much crisper and detailed, more refined. It's easier for me to tweak and achieve the tones what i have in mind. 9.02 rocks !

    POWER AMP INSANITY!!!

    Sorry ... i surfed too fast on that one, i missed the part where it was already suggested to use the filter block in the Axe :oops:

    POWER AMP INSANITY!!!

    You can also use a filter block in your AxeFx as a low pass filter to do the same thing and use any power amp with your self-built cabs.

    Just bought some Shure IEMs to try out

    Bought a pair of Westone W3 lately when the new UM3x wasn't yet available, these are triple drivers and sounds huge. I've not used them in band context though, great frequency response, lots of details. I like them a lot, I use them to listen to music as well as to monitor my AxeFx. UM3x are...

    No good blues rock sounds? Why?

    If anybody's looking to achieve nice bluesy tones, do not neglect the JM45 model .... I really like this one as well as the Brownface for my Strat, i could also talk about Top Boost, or the Mr Z 38 SR depending on the vibe or color i'm looking for. Don't hesitate to browse through many...

    Do I need to use an audio interface with AFX?

    Doing so involves d/a and a/d conversion, probably something that you'll want to avoid since each conversion can alter your signal to a certain degree.

    Do I need to use an audio interface with AFX?

    I'm not either a Mac and/or an M-Audio Firewire 410 user but it should be staight forward, your signal flow seems pretty logical. Claude

    Do I need to use an audio interface with AFX?

    The RCA digital audio output is SPDIF, so you need a SPDIF input equipped computer to make it work. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but I think that some Mac's are equipped with SPDIF but it is an optical one. You will need something like this to get done...

    Octave Pedal Effect From Pitch Block?

    I've not tried this but, If the problem really is pitch block clipping I would try sticking a compressor in front of it to see if it helps. If you're worried about dynamics add an expander right after picth block or else split your path right before the compressor and combine it back after the...

    axe-fx into amp is better than just amp :)

    chapelizod, To get feedback i had to reverse the phase of the signal. To do so: Press the I/O button on the faceplate of your AxeFx Select the Audio page using the page buttons and scroll to Output 1 and Output 2 phase and chnage their settings to "Invert". Hope that helps, Claude

    Looking for Canadian distributor for FBT Verve speakers

    RMC audio doesn't ship to Canada, so you need to get it shipped to a US address and have it shipped from there or pick it up as preffered, there is also some mailbox forwarding service that can be used for that purpose. For me driving to Vermont is about 90 minutes drive from where i live, not...

    New cab IR's in 7.08

    Updated my Ultra from 7.04 to 7.08 late last night. I tried the new V30, it is very good to my ears and while i couldn't see good use of it before 7.08 it will see some action for sure now. I also like the way the "drive" setting works now in the cab section. I'm also looking forward to the...

    Bienvenue à bord Marmot ! Shipping is paid by Fractal Audio, you will only have to pay for normal QST/GST (TPS/TVQ) plus minimal brokerage fees if you choose to get your AxeFx delivered by USPS. That's what i did last february, delivery was quick too. à plus, Claude

    who converted from tubes to the axe ?

    I just sold my Randall MTS series RM100 and most of the modules i had, that was my main setup witn a Rocktron Xpression (that i sold too). I still own a Mesa Stiletto Deuce and a Fender Bandmaster 1963 though but i don't use them, i may sell them also. I don't miss that setup at all. Claude

    Fan replacement for QSC PLX series power amps?

    Joegold, If a Fender Twin has sometime not enough clean headroom, you'll likely need a very powerful ss power amp to do the job. Remember that to get twice the sound pressure of a given power amp you'll need 10 times the power .... so if you want twice the pressure level of say your PLX1104...
