    Asking for your TRUTH

    5 years ago the drummer in my band started doing this. But he was self conscious about using an electronic kit . I kept reassuring him that real men DO play electronic kits, :lol and that this was the future. I'm glad the idea is taking off so he won't feel like a wimp !

    What's your preferred Boost method?

    Hi Yek, thanks for that and your great "mother of all effects " thread which was fantastic. Can I ask why you prefer GEQ rather than PEQ for your boost ? Any special reason or do you use both?

    Asking for your TRUTH

    I hear you man. Your post made me laugh. I remember turning up to a band audition once with my 5 Watt valve amp, which is pretty loud. The band leader ( the drummer) said no way, and he plugged me into this 150W amp and cab, and put me in front of it. Before he starts to play , the drummer puts...

    Asking for your TRUTH

    This is the ONLY negative to this fantastic box. I know professional guitarists who won't even let themselves look at the Axe because they want to spend ALL their time making music and not tweaking. But if you have a bit of geek in you ( as I do) then tweaking becomes part of the fun and magic...

    Instrument Jack dodgy

    It doesn't have to be just on/off. Corrosion or too loose connection might cause a dramatic increase of electrical resistance, resulting in a different tone. Yes, that sounds like it. It is lower volume and different tone. Three years? Do you have time machine? Axe-Fx II has only been in...

    Instrument Jack dodgy

    Dear All, I have had my Axe Fx II for 3 years, no problems. In the past few months the instrument jack has gone dodgy on me. Often it doesn't pick up the full sound, like it's only a mono channel. Then when I wriggle the cable around in the jack it picks up fully as normal. This happens with...

    Internal Controllers Overview - Video

    Hi Simeon, Just wanted to add my thanks to the others for your amazing, mind expanding video. Layers within layers within layers. I was reminded of the film Inception ! Trying to get my mind around the concept of using an external controller to control one of the LFO1 parameters . Genius ! It...

    Own Hammer - Mix IR's Mix Bundles - Modern/Vintage

    Thanks Yek, you're a star, as always. Can I ask, is Fractal Bot better than using Axe Edit? So I just go to the Cab block, press Edit, and then use Fractal Bot to send the User IR rather than doing this through Axe Edit?

    Own Hammer - Mix IR's Mix Bundles - Modern/Vintage

    Thanks Scott, I just purchased both bundles based on your recommendation. That was good enough for me ! Now, how do I actually load them into the user cab section of the Axe and use them?? :) Doh !

    Questions about FW 11 Presets

    But, having downloaded the presets, I have BankA.syx, BankB.syx and BankC.syx. So, if I use Fractal Bot to send these to the Axefx , this will transfer an entire bank right? How to import a single preset only?

    Questions about FW 11 Presets

    I have updated the firmware to 11.03, but still have the last version of presets. I would appreciate some advice about the latest presets. Question 1. Is it possible to load presets individually rather than an entire bank? I notice the sys file comes as entire banks A, B or C, rather than...
