    Would a nearby lightning strike possibly fry my Axe-Fx 3’s USB socket?

    Transmission through the USB cable can be sneaky as it leads back to your computer so it may pick up a charge from any other thing plugged into the computer. i.e. It's not just the peripheral you're in contact with, it's every peripheral they're sleeping with... :) Or if it hits your mixer it...

    IR Length

    I think it depends on what you're after and I don't think this changes general recording practices. Micing an amp has always given you some room flavor - that's part of the sound you get when doing it. Pulling the mic back to get more room is certainly a technique that's used. I think the...

    Can we make this sound? - "Hungry Like the Wolf" Synth

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 9.01

    So in reading Cliff's volume knob post regarding gain and volume, am I correct in thinking of the Gain Enhancer as a signal-level-based gain/drive increaser? i.e. based on the threshold and amount parms, as signal goes up, gain is added to the amp output?

    Chad - very cool stuff! I can't get away with a single preset so that vector is out for me. After playing with a preset it looks like the thing holding the plan back is the lack of a global modifier for the mix controls. I could hook up a couple external dials and do it that way I suppose...

    That's it - you can't name them in the unit or Axe-Edit so you need to keep up with them on a separate list. That's not a big deal. But you do have to keep an eye on your blocks and realize if you tweak a global block it's changing things elsewhere. That's their blessing and curse and...

    Yeah, they're an option. I'm a bit wary of them in general as it's easy to make inadvertent changes as there's not a way to identify them or keep up with their changes. They also open up another vector for issues with updates/saving/sharing. Yep, and that is fine. Just looking for a great...

    Boss SY-1 Synth Pedal [Edit: incl. Simeon’s presets]

    The Axe-Fx III manual lists "outboard gear such as preamps, processors, pedals, etc." as being used for Out 3 (3 is used in the diagram example and seemingly 4 would be the same). The output on those would be controlled by the output knob.
