    Is anyone else not blown away by the rotary speaker in the AXE?

    I thought the rotary was improved a lot a few firmwares back. I like it fine, after tweaking a bit. That said, I haven't heard any sim sound exactly like a real Leslie mic'd up, IMO.

    Front panel adjustment on the fly

    I have an Axe II and this is one of the reasons it now lives in my studio rig. Powerful, great FX. Just not quick to edit things on the fly on the gig. Got frustrated one too many times, I guess.

    Amp-Palmer-Axe FX2

    Yes. I liked the signal chain of guitar>pedal board> amp> Palmer full range out> Axe II using cab IR, other FX, Axe out to PA or recording interface. Also tried guitar> axe II volume/ compression/ drives, etc. send to amp> Palmer full range out> Axe return using cab IR, other FX, Axe out to PA...

    Apparent UI Complaints

    Like another poster said, the real crunch is editing on the fly. Some of us play gigs that you can't totally pre-program. There is where the AxeII's little green screen and many keystrokes in the dark becomes a tough situation. Big bright screen and easy one or two touch access to a block make...

    4 CM

    I have done 4CM with Mark V and Mark 5:25. I found that even with humbuster cables I needed an additional iso transformer from AxeII out to amp input to eliminate squeals and hums when the amp was set for high gain.. Suhr Iso Boost did the trick. I would miss using the having the delays, etc...

    Axe fx ii. Two weeks in.

    We might want to define "processors". But as far as amp sims, modelers, sure, I can go with that. Or at least, if not lower, no higher than.:) The latency spec of the AxeII steered me toward it instead of the other options available at the time.

    Axe fx ii. Two weeks in.

    My headphones feed a close mic'd signal that is less than a foot from the source, so, that's a true statement. And playing on stage without in-ears provides additional sonic cues that make standing away from an amp acceptable, natural.

    Axe fx ii. Two weeks in.

    I'm pretty sensitive to latency, and I respectfully request giving the new guy the benefit of the doubt. Don't assume that it's not perceivable because it doesn't bother you. The Axe has lower latency than some other processors, but since it uses digital conversion and processing, it's still...

    Global input volume-any adjustable parameters? (such as pedal damping)

    Decided to start a new thread since this developed from my "zipper noise" thread and could get lost. I discovered that assigning my vol pedal/ controller to "global input volume" eliminates the zipper noise. But the response feels sluggish, like the volume block with controller damping set to 20...

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    Well, good you don't, or your settings don't make it show up for you. I just discovered that assigning my pedal to "global input volume" gets rid of the zipper noise for me, so I'm thinking it must be related to the MIDI spec/controller stuff I mentioned. However, it feels like global input...

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    I realize this may have to do with the MIDI spec, or how it is implemented. Guessing it has to do with how many steps are in the range from 0-127 of a controller and how they may be in relatively coarse increments at the low end of the scale vs. finer increments in the range where most...

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    It only shows up because of where my volume block is in the chain. Before the drive block(s) and amp input.

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    Made no difference in the zipper noise, just how quickly the volume changed when the pedal is moved.

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    Reversing the T and R on the EB 25k volume pedal gave me a much better response, going into the Axe back panel jack. Tweaked the mid point of the curve and it's very smooth. However, the whole point of this was zipper noise. So now I know the zipper noise is not caused by the CAE controller...

    zipper noise vol block ext. controller-fixable or live with it?

    The KORG TRS can't be reversed that easily but I'll try the EB and report back. Then we might know if the zipper noise is CAE related.
