Then I go through 1000+ IRs until I find one that works well.
Ha. Well I don't go through thousands of IR's at that point anymore. I've chosen my favorites already in the Axe folders and usually I know what kind of tone I'm after.I wonder how you test more than 1000 IRs in a few minutes....
The Axe-Fx is very quick and easy to use once you know how it works. When creating a really good sound takes a few minutes it's way better to start over rather than sticking to a preset that you've been tweaking for months/years. IMO at least. I'm mainly worried about people trying out IR's with a patch that's been tweaked to compensate for the faults in other IR's.
Do what Cliff does. 1) Default settings 2) Find IR 3) Tweak.
Would someone be so very kind and post a guide how to reset the axe fx II and get things started again?
Never done that since fw 7 .. and I think it might be a good idea to reset the system, but been afraid that I
may screw something up
Just a step by step list would be very helpful
for example .. do I need to reinstall the firmware version after reset ?
do I use the latest backup after the reset, or will that just cancel out the reset ? (so to speak)
is there some setting that I need to reset that maybe was done at the factory ?
Does it delete all the user presets, and IR's ?
well those are the kind of questions that prohibited me from trying to reset the machine ..
I've read the manual from cover to cover but it is some time ago now, so I would apreciate
someone that knows how to do it listing it
sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread ..
thanks ladies and gents
have a good one
Have any of you done that? I assume there is a way to default the axe. Plus I want to upgrade to Quantum. Could this be the perfect time? I'm curious if you guys ever ditch your presets to force you to start from scratch.
He didn't say a few minutes.I wonder how you test more than 1000 IRs in a few minutes....
I kinda do both. My main gigging patches rarely get touched except to make minor adjustments as needed for FW updates or just taste... but then when I'm in my studio I often dial up a random patch #, or a random amp, and see where that takes me.
He didn't say a few minutes.
Then I go back to the amp block and dial it in. In a few minutes I'll have something I like andthen I play.
^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^Yep. The AxeFx is so good now, you really don't have to understand what the hell you're doing other than pick an amp, put a cab block behind and go to town. Nothing else is needed for great tone, but obviously there's a lot more you could do.
