What is "it" that the axe fx is missing?

It's missing a "Talent" block...which I am sorely in need of.

Basic vs tweaking under the hood

Sorry, should have been more specific; I meant no PEQ or GEQ blocks. I'm definitely using the GEQ on the amp block.

Basic vs tweaking under the hood

I'm using an UltraRes Boogie 4x12 from Cab Pack 7 (SM57/MD421). My baseline is a tight rhythm sound a la Metallica/DT. I don't want to sound like them, and I'm not unrealistic about assuming I can or should be able to, but there's a certain ferocity to their sound that I really like but I...

Basic vs tweaking under the hood

I'm getting back into playing, and cannot believe how good the Axe is sounding with Quantum...it makes this bedroom warrior a real happy fellow! That being said, my favorite amp brand has always been Mesa Boogie (I owned a Studio Pre/VHT, a Roadking V2, and finally a Mark V). I got rid of all...

Another Cliff and Fractal Rock Thread

I agree....the Axe II and MFC101 are 2 of the best purchases I've ever made in my life. The quality of the units being one huge reason, and the even bigger reason is the service from Cliff and his team.

Are we wrapped up in the tech of the axe fx

Sometimes you get people like me who don't have the time to even play guitar, let alone tinker with the Axe...I can't spend any time tweaking what's under the hood of the Axe due to life/work/health priorities (diagnosed as diabetic so now I've given myself no choice but to go to the gym at...

Axe volume vs usb volume

I've got a strange issue where the volume of my guitar signal is extremely loud, whereas audio from my macbook is a whisper. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
