    Bug? Moving presets in Axe-Manage Presets kills the presets

    I just found a pretty bad bug, I can't say though if it is caused by the latest firmware or the latest update for Axe Edit. Anyway, I wanted to reorganize some of my patches, so I started Axe Edit (version 3.14.4, should be the latest version) and went to Axe Manage Presets. I then moved some...

    X-LOAD LB-2 Reactive Load Box now available

    Yeah, I read that myself, the question is if an amp with more than 100 watts still could be used if the volume is not cranked. It would be a shame a device like this would be completely useless if you own amps with more than 100 watts, and my rectos are not the only amps with more power.

    X-LOAD LB-2 Reactive Load Box now available

    This might be a dumb question, but I have to ask it anyway. The unit is made for amps up to 100 watts, correct? What if I want to use it with my triple recifiers which have 150 watts? Would I fry the loadbox or would it only be a problem if I fully crank the master volume?
