    Indy Artist/Engineer/Producer looks at the AXE FX II

    Thanks! No, actually, the unit was stable (there's foamish/rubberish stuff on the stand, and two arms behind the amp to keep the amp from sliding much. And, it's always possible to gaff tape it). Nevertheless, it was kludgy, and in the future I will want that space so I can move around more...

    My brother grabbed some photos - here's a shot of my setup for the other night:

    Indy Artist/Engineer/Producer looks at the AXE FX II

    Addendum 1/27/12: I decided to use the AXE FX II on my acoustic guitars for my CD release party, which was earlier this evening. At the time I was getting the AXE FX, I was thinking only in terms of the studio (as per my review above), but while I was rehearsing for the party, it occurred to...

    Baritone guitar?

    I have the Epiphone Les Paul baritone, which I bought via craigslist a couple months ago. Pickups are stock. I like it a lot, especially thru the AXE FX II - although, like any other bari guitar I've played, it can get pretty thick and muddy on some chord voicings at the nut. The neck feels...

    Wimpicking

    I think the "ohs" and "yeahs" just mean he had a lot of coffee or Jolt or Red Bull before shooting the video. I'm okay with that, since it lets non-guitar-player know they're looking at something that's a bit difficult :)

    How do I use multiple (AxeFX and recording interface) ASIO drivers in SonarX1?

    You already know this, but for the record, Sonar derives its wordclock from Edit->Preferences->Audio->Driver Settings->Record Timing master->(selected interface). Also, "default settings for new projects", sampling rate needs to be 48k to match the AXEFX. There's no way to sync samplerates via...

    Pre-amp vs power amp distortion in AxeFxII

    I agree completely, that's even more important than the specific tubes. I like the 'family tree' idea. And, as others have mentioned, general architecture and specifics of preamp sections and tone stacks have similar relevance. Based on comments I've read elsewhere in the forum, I think Cliff...

    Pre-amp vs power amp distortion in AxeFxII

    I was just pondering a similar thought this afternoon, which was whether the WIKI had any info about the specific tubes in each of the amp models (without me digging around on the internet in search of schematics and then making notes, etc). The reason why I was thinking this is that in some...

    Starting point?

    Don't wait another second, get started with it as soon as possible! (grin) I think the manual is your friend - having said that, though, I'm a firm believer in just plugging the thing up and seeing if I can use it without reading any docs. If it seems intuitive without reading docs, then I...

    Question for Cliff (or anyone that knows) about word clock sync through Axe II AES

    Thanks, Cliff, good to get it from the source.

    Question for Cliff (or anyone that knows) about word clock sync through Axe II AES

    Not a dumb question at all. My understanding is that both SPDIF and AES are designed such that the clock can be recovered from the signal. Simply plugging an SPDIF output of one device into the SPDIF input of the next will work, *assuming* the downstream device either uses the clocking from...
