    Your preferred intonation method.

    I just tune the fretted 12 fret to the 12 fret harmonic on a new set of strings. The action on my guitars is quite low so then I just tune the guitar to open strings when I'm playing with other guitarists..... and tune to the 8th fret when I'm playing with keyboard players. Close enough for me.

    FM9 not allowed?

    Some places don't allow keyboards through their PA as well.

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    I'm still happy with the the Ultras.....but some iterations of the II had this, and then some had features taken away....it took the III to get all the ducks to lined up again. Glad I waited.

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    LET'S LOOK AT ALL THE REAL THINGS THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT FROM AN AXE IV. I'm not talking about new amps/fx/ etc....mainly hardware. TOUCH SCREEN To please everyone it would have to be huge....like the mockup some one posted. Then all the knob people would complain. It might fit on a rack...

    ADA MPC Foot Controller

    I've got a couple, they work like a charm with both my Ultra and Axe 3. I never had to configure the MPC in any way. You have a choice of numbering your presets 000-127 or 001-128. You configure this in the Axe Fx. Look in the manuals for this info...(I don't have my units with me ATM). For it...

    Matrix GT1000FX Amp failure and Customer Support

    Just for a little balance.......I've had an 800 for over 5 years...zero problems.....ran it as a bass amp as well. Had a 1000 for over 3 years zero problems. Sorry to hear of your problems, I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06

    Has anyone else found that 19.06 converts external expression 1 and 2 to Pedals 1 & 2. All my presets have a volume pedal at the end of the chain......it took a bit of detective work to find out why I was not getting an output.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06

    The main reason I don't use scenes etc is that I don't have an FC12. At AUS $1500 it's a lot of money to switch sounds. Incidentally the AXE FX III M2 turbo is $4600 in Oz. I just use an old dumb ADA 12 button midi switcher and it works well for my purposes. Oh and I forgot! It fit's into the...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06

    Many thanks guys.......I've now reached the point where I just want up dates for bug fixes......not so much for new features or sounds. I loaded up 19.06 and it didn't seem to make any major changes, but something didn't seem to sound as good as I remembered last week.......However I know better...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06

    At the risk of being asking a redundant question...how does it sound compared to 19.05? 19.05 has sounded spectacular at the last 2 jams I attended. I mainly use the Dumble, Wrecker, Fender amp models. Burgs Dumbles, the Kid Charlemagne preset, and the odd SRV preset are the ones I have...

    Struggling With Full Volume, Tone & Sustain on High Notes

    I always raise the treble side of my pickups slightly to even out the volume difference between the treble and bass strings. I opt for a slight increase as I move to the higher strings but ymmv. Start there. There is also a pitch following function in the axe that will allow you to change...

    EVM-12Love

    I find the same thing...I use 2 Ev12s in 2 open back boxes (which I can close)...powered by a Matrix 1000. It's got enough tops not to require a FRFR, and I've found that I can use all of the irs with these speakers. I've also found that there is enough tops for Acoustic guitar and Mandolin as...

    Audio Interface 2021: Focusrite vs Presonus

    Just built a new computer this last week. Dedicated audio and video machine. Asus Thunderbolt 4 mother board. So I'm looking at the Presonus Quantum 2626 as an option. Trying to future proof as much as possible. I'm having noise/dropout problems with the 2 interfaces on my old machines...
