AxeFx III and Mission Gemini help

I think I keep the EMpower at about 3:00. I just started turning the Mission volume up higher to maybe 1:00 and then keep the Axe lower at about 10:00. It is a little better. I think I need to spend time tweaking the presets I like instead of hoping the stock sounds are perfect.

I actually have it stacked on a Marshall cab. The level is decent. I guess I just need to experiment with it more.

AxeFx III and Mission Gemini help

Thank you. Some presets sound better than others. I have a bunch of real amps I could use and then the Ax as an effect unit, but it seems like a waste, and would be much easier to move if I could get the Axe setup done. Changing the Empower makes a difference. I’m trying to turn the Mission up...

Yes, Empower at 3/4 (3 o’clock), and level at 3/4 (3 o’clock), sorry.

AxeFx III and Mission Gemini help

All, I have been using my AxeFX iii with a Gemini FRFR (2-12) for the past few years. The sound is ok, but I think it should be much better. Is there anyone near Newburyport MA that would be interested being paid for helping to get the sound adjusted and improving the overall setup? I could run...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

My mistake Rex. I guess the "easy" was a relative term. I'm messing around with the Ultra but I've decided that I need to decide what the output set-up will be. Right now (at home), I have some guitar amplifiers to hook into and even with it on a relatively flat setting, it sounds "just OK". I...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

Thanks Rex. I see your point on the conversion difficulties. I guess I was looking for a way to kick the Ultra's capability in the ass and get to the end patch in an easier way. You say it's easy but I haven't climbed up on the ledge yet. Hopefully soon! My first weak attempt still sounded...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

After my first Ultra night, here are a few thoughts: 1. The Axe-Fx has some "stock" patches that sound great right out of the box. I know for sure that my set-up is not close to ideal yet so that is my priority. Once I get that together I can really comment on everything. Some of the other...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

V, I won't be selling amps anytime soon as well. I did pick up the Ultra today and it actually was only 22 minutes to get there. Maybe I was driving faster for some reason? I've already tried it out and still need to tweak the set-up a bit. I'm not sure if the effects need to have two amps to...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

Thanks V. I checked on that "buyer's remorse" everyone talks about and...nothing but excitement about this purchase. The only thing I feel bad about is all the gear I have that won't be used all that much in the near future. I still have to decide what to do about power/amp. Right now I have...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

Thanks Ventura! You're right about NH. I just talked to them and they have an ULTRA in stock. It turns out they are only a 28 minute drive away! So, I'm planning to drive over tomorrow during lunch to pick the Ultra up. Sorry about the delay for yours. Happy Axe-ing!

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

I'm offcially upgrading to the Ultra. Thanks to all for lending me your "couch" (so to speak) and talking me through it. Yes, the $500 is worth not having to beat myself up too much later. So how long does it take to get an Ultra from the time it's ordered? They don't really mention that, at...

Axe-Fx Standard vs. Ultra?

Well, thanks for all the input. It seems that it should be an easy decision. My order hasn't been shipped yet so it should be no problem to upgrade to the Ultra now. I guess it's the safe bet. I'll consider the extra $500 as insurance that I won't hear of all of you that you all told me so. The...
