My First Axe-Fx Weekend! Can't believe it's finally happening! (formerly 'Ordered today...')

I rather like it and find it very workable as a neck pickup in the normal mode.

I have the Schecter Blackjack SLS and can confirm that the sustainiac is great fun to play, obviously there’s a time and place for it but luckily the guitar is fully capable in all areas when sustainiac is bypassed. Also, Schecter guitars are made to a very high standard for the price range IMO.

FM3 Short Riff of my take on some rock "wide tones"

The enhancer block is my no.1 must have in a preset. I play mainly through headphones so you can imagine how much of a game changer this was when I discovered it many years ago. I “borrowed” a block library from Leon Todd that gets put in every new preset. Your demo does a good job of showing...

Guitar instrumental Impro

Very nice BB, the beginning has an “empty rooms” vibe about it. Are you still using Fremen’s 5 scene preset pack?

Strat-Like Guitars on the market

I’m probably a bit biased on this subject as I have the guitar pictured in my avatar, but personally I recommend researching Levinson Blade guitars. Definitely something in their range to fit your budget.

Why I can’t get delay repeats on one side?

May I congratulate the OP. You actually summoned up the holy trinity of help in the first 3 replies. Nice work to have those 3 on speed dial 😀👍

Is there a list somewhere that tells you how many posts are needed for the various levels. Just asking out of mild curiosity rather than a desperate thirst for knowledge.

Cracking finger joints?

I can certainly relate to this. However, my issues have been magnified over the past 4 months as I had to have a STT joint fusion in my left wrist. Without boring you with the details, when I was finally able to bend my wrist post op, the wrist would periodically feel stiff until I kept...

Falling behind

I think you could cut the OP a little slack here. If he hadn’t of posted then none of us would be any the wiser that “Firmware 6.00 for the FM9 went to private beta yesterday.” I for one, am grateful that information is now in the public domain. Hopefully, discovering information on all things...

AXE FX II XL+ still good on 2023?

I have a AXE FX 2 XL and have no desire to upgrade any time soon. I have invested many many hours on perfecting my presets and I’m in a very happy place right now. Hit me up if you go ahead with the XL and I’ll DM you a load of presets to get you going and hopefully save you a lot of precious time.
