    Tele: to upgrade or to trade up, that is the question

    I think you should take your Tele into the store where the CS Tele is and compare them unamplified. This gives you a pretty good clue to the comparative tones of the two. The pickups are easy to replace if that is all it is. Then compare the necks and how they feel and play to you. Own the one...

    Who use always the same IR in every preset?

    I use a Tone Factor 2x12 Greenback IR for 98% of my presets. Changing IR's seems to change the basic character of the sound and makes different presets hard to balance in the mix, and makes for too varied of a tone. I think back to the days when people only had one amp for everything live...

    Did you try a different guitar?

    Denoising strat - shameless request for recommendations

    If you find true singles to be a little shrill, then you might really like lower output Kinmans (there are several to choose from). Or if you don't mind moving a small notch in the HB sound direction (while still sounding 90% - 95% single coil) you might be satisfied with DiMarzio Area pickups...

    Buzzing Noise on Guitar Tones

    It sounds like you might have a compressor in your signal chain before the amp block. If so, it will boost the output to the amp as the guitar signal decays. So, you might want to try using the compressor in the amp block, or put a compressor block after the amp and speaker and see if that helps.

    Tonewood doesn’t matter

    I had a Warmoth build (strat) with an alder body. Played great and sounded great and got a lot of compliments on the tone, BUT it wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted more snap and definition. So I ordered a Warmoth swamp ash body (same spec's). When it arrived all I did was swap the body...

    FM9 into Fender FR-12 video clip and initial impression

    I A/B'ed an FR12 against my CLR. FR12 sounded good, but the CLR easily won the day for me. I will stick to my CLR's.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.05 Release

    Since I don't use all four channels of the Amp block I simply copy the channel I want to update to an unused channel. Then I reset the amp in one of them, and then bounce back and forth to copy my old settings into the reset channel.

    Finding the right amount of mids with being honky tips!

    Try 2x12 cabs instead of 4x12's.

    What was your 1st amp?

    1965 Blackface Fender Twin with EV SRO speakers. Needed a fork lift to move it, so I put the amplifier section in a separate head cabinet the owner that sold it to me had made (for the same reason. That helped. Sadly it was stolen from the house I was renting.

    Disaster at a gig last night

    I used to have this issue with my AX8. Fractal said to wait something like 30 seconds after making ANY changes before shutting the unit off. Once I started doing that I never had a problem again. Perhaps this is true of the FM3 also?

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    What about Avatar speaker cabs? Still too expensive?

    Best noiseless P-90

    I love my Kinman P90's, but I have not tried the Fralins. Mine are the lower output ones (Sweet Neck and Clean Bridge) and I use them for P&W.

    External switches

    The big limiting factor of the Stand-in Switches controlled by External Switches is that they cannot change their function based on the Footswitch Layout. They are Global in that they can only perform the same function no matter what Footswitch Layout you are on. I submitted a request in the FM3...
