So you can search for "wha" and "morello" and get back something useful you can use in your particular presets.
Which would be equally as freaking awesome!

I understand what you are saying, but I don't feel it's always the case. I understand that people post things where the want. Sometimes they get moved to the right sub, sometimes not. However, when I go to preset exchange sub...it is mostly presets. So if I choose to, I can just scroll through that and see if anything catches my eye. More times than not though, it doesn't because I am not into the majority of Artists being shared. HOWEVER, if I was able to do this with just effects presets...it might be an entire different case. For my tastes, I have always used effects as a way to write something different...so being able to just browse like that would be a welcome alternative to searching broadly through the entire history of the website. If you don't find it useful, that's fine and no offense intended but just don't use it then. I know there are several subs I never even open as well. To me though (and apparently several others agree) it could be a welcomed addition to the forum. By no means do I expect it to be perfect (as no sub forum is). I just feel it could save myself as well as others time when searching for specific effects. I also feel that if you sell a device that allows you to tons of amps, effects, and cabinets...and have dedicated forums it only makes sense to offer an effects forum as well. JoeMy point is that limiting your searches to certain sub-forums is operating under the false assumption that the information you seek is well-curated so it only appears under that sub-forum. People spread information all over this site and it's not curated or maintained in a way that would make this assumption correct.
So the sub-forum doesn't actually help you. Really, it hurts. Doubly so when we're talking about effects since effect blocks are largely share-able between the different major product lines now.
You're hoping that people will keep their posts in an effects section to something that would making searching them easier. I'm telling you, having seen years of data on this forum now, that people will not keep posts to "Here is a setting for effect X that mimics Y" type posts. Same mess, different pile.
It sounds like what you really want is block support in Axe-Change. So you can search for "wha" and "morello" and get back something useful you can use in your particular presets.
Uhh...make one? Threads can be created by anyone.Apparently, a while back there was The Mother-of-all-pedal-and-effectemulations-thread for Axe-FX II. This is what I would like to see again! Joe
As a sub, not a thread. JoeUhh...make one? Threads can be created by anyone.
That's what I would like to see. JoeI thought there was supposed to be a Block Exchange type database coming?
Yeah - it would be good to see something that is integrated with Axe Edit/ AX8 Edit, where you can search a database and import blocks directly into your signal chain.That's what I would like to see. Joe
I agree, because all questions have a place. I also understand where people post where they want and it is not always in the right area. But no effects sub at all? To me that is just weird....I don't normally look for a complete preset tone, just new effects to play with so I do think effects should be seperated from presets. JoeI get, where @iaresee wants to go by reducing the number of forums though. I just don't think ordering the forum by product is the right way to go. There are way too much common ground between the different products.
I would make a "Fractal Recordings" forum rather than the current "AxeFX Recordings", an "FX blocks" Forum, a "Cab/IR forum", maybe even an "amp block" forum. It might also make sense to have a common tone matching (how do I get this tone, not necessarily related to the tone match block) forum. Then of course, we still need smaller forums for the specific products, Ax8, FX8, AxeFX and MFC (these would all have Bugs, wish list and maybe preset exhange)
