New Ultra Day! Epic Picstory.

Gonna be honest, that post was a little over the top. BUT, the clip you posted was amazing so it was worth sifting through some, um, detritus. ;) You did a great job with that recording. Sounded very professional. Kudos to you, and hopefully you'll share some tips about your sound and how you...

I found The USB out on the AxeFX?

It's semantics here people. I would call it a sound card too. Does it look like a card? No. Is there a little breadboard in that hump doing some electron voodoo magic? Yes. Break-out box, sound processor, whatever. "Soundcard" is my (and other's) way to say that there's an external hardware...

Hard Rock Recording with AXEFX Standard

Wow, that brought me back to the Shrapnel days. I started laughing when the key solo blew open. Sooooooo awesome. Wish I could play the keys. Anyway, good job on the track.

Atomic Reactor Passive Wedges -- Not What I Expected

When you're a/b'ing these cabs, are you using the same patches with no tweaking? Did you use cab sims with your old setup?

Video Tutorials On the Wiki No More

I was perusing the wiki this morning picking up some amp tweaking tips and I noticed that the video tutorial section links to now-defunct videos. Anyway, just an FYI. I considered editing the wiki to remove the dead links, but wasn't sure what the protocol was around here for wiki maintenance...

Tweaking Yngwie Malmsteen patch + mp3

I think you did a great job. The overall sound is pretty convincing. Share the patch if you don't mind! Thanks

Opened for Arnel Panieta (Journey)....Ultra in concert

Sounds good man. What sort of setup do you run in your axe amp and effect wise? On another note, I bet Sting wishes he could still hit those high notes. :) Nah, just kidding. I have no idea if Sting's still got the pipes, but I love the Police.

replace all the existing ir cabs?

I don't own any third party cabs, so I can't compare, however I think the stock sound very good and am happy with the selection that came with my AexFX. So, I very much like the ones that were included, but I also like the idea of being able to overwrite the defaults. Seems like a nice feature...

New song. Post-rock + Heavy - (Axe-fx + Superior)

Very well done. I liked the "eccentric-ness" (word?) of this. Well recorded, good heavy sounds with a lot of personality. I am learning a lot from the clips people keep posting and I appreciate what you people share!

whats louder art sla2 into 4x12 or 2 powered wedges?

Not sure how to answer since your subject poses one question and the body asks another... How about starting with question 1, and I'll pose a question of my own: Is maximum volume all you're concerned with? My opinion would be to not worry about it. You should be able to cut through any band...

Programming FCB1010 (stock, not UNO)

I can't offer you any advice about programming your foot controller, but I can give you a helpful tip about getting some assistance. You admitted to being lazy first thing in your original post. Look through the instructions, describe what you don't understand, describe what you tried to do...

Good Place To Buy Accessories

I need a 6U rack case and some cables. Any recommendations for good places to buy audio gear online? I've only ever had combo amps so I have no prior experience with rack mounted equipment, and now I find myself with the AxeFX and a 3U poweramp and am not quite sure what to do with them...
