    Scenes and real amp switching

    You our need to set the axefx function to none and program the switch as a general use switch. The you can send a cc for the scene change and a pc to switch the amp. Also, midi thru should be on in the axefx.

    How to set up 2 recording mics on the axe?

    Lets talk about the "Depth" control

    I use depth when I want a beefier tone but the bass control makes things flubby. I lower the bass and slightly increase depth. It works very well for this. A little goes a long way here.
  46. javajunkie

    Lets talk about the "Depth" control

    not really, since you are hitting the master volume with less signal by turning down the input trim. The more saturated the power amp section is, the more it will mask the effects of presence and depth.

    I'd like a flat response IR

    It is a resonant boost, you also can move the frequency. A filter block would be better I would think. Either way would use less dsp.
  62. javajunkie

    I'd like a flat response IR

    why even bother with line out and in, just leave it unplugged. Or even easier export a tone match block that isn't matched to anything. You'll need to boost the cab 2db to match the bypass level, but that is about it.
  63. javajunkie

    It Never Fails

    There is no compression involved. What it is saying is that the signal is lowered than brought back up by the buffer. So a flat you would actually have a cut. The maximum boost you would get is no boost if the buffer was removed. in other words there really isn't a boost, but cut to 0 boost.
