    Out2 latency?

    A way to compensate for whatever this is w/o using a delay block is to use a compressor set to 1:1 ratio. Use the look ahead parameter as a micro delay.

    Update Amps All Presets vs. Deselect - Reselect method

    He did not say that 16.01 removes the need for manually resetting amps, as far I know. He just stated that resetting wasn't necessary in 16.01. Not all the presets use default values. They probably got reset to default, when you selected update all amps.

    Recording other instruments/singing with a condenser mic?

    You condensor mic is not a digital device. It won'y work. Moreover, most condenser mics require power (either battery or phantom power). Use a mic preamp (you'll probably need phantom power) in to the rear input 1 L of the Axe-fx. Set the input 1 left select to rear.

    crackling noise when moving Output 1 knob

    Accord to Cliff, in order to achieve the Unity gain functions, the Axe-Fx II uses digital potentiometers to adjust the output levels. These actually contain hundreds of tiny resistors and switches. As such, some noise may be generated while adjusting the knobs.

    Input sensitivity changes over time?

    It should not sound juicier or any different. The only differerence would be SNR ratio, which would manifest itself as a slightly higher noise floor (most probably inaudible). There is nothing to compensate for. The compensation is done automatically in the axe-fx. As you turn down the input...

    Drive Block at 0% Mix still effecting tone?

    Yes the auto impedance detects the first active block and adjust the impedance to its real world analog. Since it is not bypassed, it will set it to what ever the drive type uses (if it is the first active effect).

    Instrument in adjusting

    Right at extreme settings you can go beyond the Axe-fx's ability to compensate. If you set it at minimum it could cause a lower than intended gain (and bad SNR). On the hot side, you could clip the inputs. Just set it so your hottest guitar is just tickling the red when strumming hard and...

    Handy: increasing Mic level without preamp or mixer

    Just tried it with a Beyerdynamic M160, it seems to work ok. Plenty of level. Does this reduce the dynamic range of the mic though? Nothing is for free and as you bump up the output level by changing the impedance, the voltage will go down.
