    USB multiple devices - does Axe have to be master?

    Only when you are using SPDIF, does not apply to the USB. So you are good to go.

    red bear picks

    I have been using them for over a year now (I use the little jazzer)I still try other picks from time to time. But I always come back to the Red Bear. I have other picks which I find very comfortable but what brings me back to the Red Bear is the tone. Whether you like it or not there is a...

    Anyone ineterested in MFC-Edit ?

    With the Axe Fx alone, I could not care about an editor. With multiple pieces of gear like I use to run years ago, yeah that’s a bit different. Mapping presets alone would have gone allot faster if the All Access had an editor (and that’s also an easy unit to program) And then there was...

    I noticed, in people's Rig Photos... (footcontroller diversity)

    I got the MFC when it first came out, in my case I wanted the convince of flying over titles from the AF and also being able to see what IA’s are available on any given preset and if available are they on or off. The tuner was nice but at the time I did not care about that feature. Also...

    If you mean by “turning off blocks” bypassing them, not good enough they are still active. Try going to patch 384 or 383 (I forget which one) but it’s a titled “Bypass” nothing but a bunch of shunts and then try the upgrade. If that does not work it may be too big a jump to go from ver3 to...

    Listening to Mob Rules

    Great album! Just out of high school and had seen that tour which of course snowballed into the Live Evil album. To this day it was still one of the best sounding shows I have been too. Had also seen Sabbath with Ian Gillian, and also with Ozzy when they were touring with Van Halen. Gillian was...

    I might do it but not just for the fact my Mesa Mark IV currently has a real nice mix of tubes and all channels sound just a bit better than the average Mark IV, might as well capture it while I can since tubes wear and replacements are not perfect. It will never have that identical tone. But...

    No not at all. When working with a real cab (speaker sims off) one of the most over looked controls is “Low Resolution Frequency” on the AF II and on the Ultra/Standard ”Speaker Resonance Frequency” these are also important when using cab sims while running FRFR. The AF II has a little more...

At least that’s the first thought that came to mind when I glanced at it. My Atomic cabs can fill in with any...
