In which my minions assist me to install a Strat tone blender kit...

(continued from above) This kit lives up to it's namesake - it is quite literally a 'drop in' replacement for the old, once you remove the pickup and jack leads and unscrew the old pots from the pickguard... "Would this shovel help at all, sah ??" At this point, we were all getting a bit...

In which my minions assist me to install a Strat tone blender kit...

[NB: I am cross posting this from another forum for your amusement and eye rolling...] ;-) ------------- For a few weeks now, the Volume knob on my Strat has been nearly impossible to turn. I think someone slammed another guitar into my volume knob at a gig or something, and the knob got...

Axe-FX goes from Jazz to Metal in one gig...

My two sons played at an outdoor festival here yesterday. First clip is during the school Jazz Ensemble, in which middle school kids and teachers played a few songs. My14yo son is in the foreground, playing his Jazzmaster through the Axe-FX, using a cleanish Dr. Z preset. We haven't got a...

Axe FX II GiveAway by Three Wise Monkeys!

Saw this on Facebook a few days ago. I bought the album but haven't listened to it as yet... Very cool way of doing a promo!

Update All Presets wiped out preset #1 and renamed it Bypass

Yes, I think this is a display only thing... Because the system steps through ALL the presets, it must retain the last preset name in memory and put it on the screen for whichever preset you had selected when you hit the 'update all presets' option. I panicked for a second when it happened to...

Metallica (Hammet) Rig Rundown... No Axe-FX ???

Thought it might be... I just looked at the date posted on youtube (1st April 2014) but wasn't sure which tour they were talking about, a current one or an older one...

Metallica (Hammet) Rig Rundown... No Axe-FX ???

Just saw this posted on Youtube - dated only a couple of days ago. I know it is a TC Electronics tech interviewing his tech, but note that in the racks, no Axe-FX II evident? They talk about the G-Major a lot, and other rack hardware... ?!?

Will AxeFXReporter work with FW14?

Hey all - I am the guy who wrote AxeFXReporter. Yeah, I don't want to abandon the project, but at the moment, my day job is taking up all my programming time which leaves me very little to pursue my projects of passion. The old apps used the same parameters database that Axe-Edit used to use...

AMP OF THE WEEK. Week 1 Fender 59' Bassman

Should we incorporate the '65 Bassman in here as well ? Or is it different enough to warrant it's own thread later?

Axe FX II Amp of the Week

I'm all for this idea! A separate sub forum section would be great... Every week we could start a new thread title, e.g. AMP OF THE WEEK: Vox AC-30 AMP OF THE WEEK: '59 Bassman The great thing about this is that the thread doesn't necessarily have to die at the end of the week. People...

Midi control of basic amp settings

I'll echo what shasha mentioned above - Check out the MidyAx project from forum member PALYGAP. It seems to be what most people here are wanting: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/other-midi-controllers/68598-news-midyax-project-using-bcr2000-pilot-axe-fx.html

Axe FX II and feature creep

One of my favourite apps in the DOS (pre Windows) world was an 'integrated' application called SmartWare. It never got a foothold over other 'integrated' systems like Lotus Symphony, Enable etc., but I thought it was one of the best software systems I had ever seen. The main reason? It had 3...

Axe FX II and feature creep

In nearly 3 decades of software development, I've realised that rule #1 is: Think VERY hard before adding a new feature into a piece of software, because guaranteed that REMOVING the feature later will cause more pain, angst and bad feeling amongst your users than never adding it in the first...

For this price, I'll stick with the FAS model!

Don't think it does. The amp itself work on the current from the internal transformer I believe. The voltage step up/down happens before that stage. But don't believe everything I say. I am a software guy, not hardware! LOL :D I bought a Carol-Ann Triptik from the US last year. Alan from...
