    Let's show some love! What is the thing about the Axe3 that made you grin recently?

    for me.... after using a Fractal since my original standard back in 2007, this year I have been firmly getting into synths... and my AFX as a dedicated FX processor for my analogue synths has had me grinning from ear to ear.

    Help with Adam A7X studio monitors for AxeFx III

    Some of this is in descriptions.... one persons "boomy" is another's "lovely low end"... One persons "harsh" is another's "cuts nicely". Direct sounds are most often down to the cab blocks - heck I still prefer no cab block and into my real cab lol - but Im working on direct for a change...

    How do we know the amp models are very accurate?

    Im in the "I dont care" or "does it matter" camp.... I actually moved to the AFX (back in the standard days of 2008) because I couldnt find a real amp that sounded how I wanted it to - there was always something that niggled. a little too harsh, an odd midrange freq I couldn't dial out, or...

    from Friedman BE100 Deluxe to Axe FX III?

    maybe, but you have to add a controller, and speaker, and amp is its a passive speaker of some sort.... It doesnt negate the volume issue - nor is an AFX cab do the Friedman sound - but budget wise there wont be much in it once you have all the bits you need for an AFX rig, not just the AFX itself.

    2 Axe III's via MIDI

    there is another possible issue. I work for a manufacturer of industrial Coding machines. Barcodes, FRID etc. with some products its seem that PCs (and macs) wont differentiate between 2 units that are the same make and model over USB. We often have to resort to one via USs with a...

    Monitors vs FRFR for bedroom player?

    Just a point - studio monitors ARE FRFR.......more so than FRFR stage cabinets are (generally). What your debating is a stereo pair of STUDIO FRFR monitors - or a stage volume FRFR cabinet. Studio monitors are more accurate, and built for the room environment. FRFR cab is built for the extra...

    Seymour Duncan PowerStage power amps?

    I use the PS 170. Its velcoro'd into the back of my rack. FWIW, it replaced a Fryette Power station, and before that a Matrix GT800, and before that a VHTY 2:50:2. Its just as good as any of those IMO. its LOUD.....

    Adam A5X vs A7X. Is bigger better?

    decent for their cost - not a patch on the Adams though (nor Focals, or Neumann's, or any of the better manufacturers).

    Adam A5X vs A7X. Is bigger better?

    not for just guitar no - no benefit. As I say, I use one because I play keys/synths as well - and they DO need the low freq coverage. Just for guitars, you wont be using it. If you find you using them for "playback" at some point - then you can just add a sub then. if you do _ I chose...

    Speaker Output Mode

    Its not weird at all. cliff is a perfectionist... he often implements things that make TINY differences, that in a real world situation you really couldn't, tell BUT if you critically listen/feel you can discern those small differences - and of course small differences do add up. Its why...

    Speaker Output Mode

    They are practically the same. There are some VERY subtle differences. In a studio, you wouldnt need the amp feed so would set it to FRFR. if your just using a power amp you set it to power amp. if you using BOITH, ie onstage to an amp/cab and then to a desk - just set it to FRFR and leave...

    Adam A5X vs A7X. Is bigger better?

    Mine 2x4m so 8 square. 5".is fine in that size. Your not going to use the few hz lower frq then, or need the bigger volume. Smaller speakers tend to have a flatter response (the neuman 4s are flatter than the 5s for instance). The smaller cones are easier to control. I use a sun for...

    Is it time to take the screen protectors off?? and should I experiment with more amps...

    Yeh - ive known Sukh personally for many years, since the first UK Axe-Fest back in .... Oh i cant remember. 2011 or something.

    Adam A5X vs A7X. Is bigger better?

    depends on room size, volume needs or if you add a sub... FWIW I used the 5 over the 7 for about 6 years before changing to Neumann KH120s. and the KH750 sub.
