    Rounded or Pointy Pick Tip? Flexy or Stiff Pick?

    @JoKeR III Got my ChickenPicks starter set, I see the appeal! Only spent about 30 min with them today, they feel real good right off the bat. I don't see myself using them as my daily driver, but different guitar , different styles. See myself going for them from time to time. They feel good...

    PC not detecting AxeFx 2 after power surge.

    Might not be the Axe, might be the PC or both. Have you tried -- Plugging Axe into another computer? If it shows up in device manager install the drivers. Does everything look normal after that? Can you use it as a audio interface just play some MP3's. If so Axe is most likely fine. The...

    Rounded or Pointy Pick Tip? Flexy or Stiff Pick?

    Pretty much the same here, Paul Gilbert sent me down the same rabbit hole. Also, I like the sound of a thinner pick: BUT -- like anything depends on what you are doing at the time. Use to play thick picks all the time so going down to a .60 or .50 presented some challenges, the main challenge...

    Rounded or Pointy Pick Tip? Flexy or Stiff Pick?

    I go a little lighter, Dunlop round Fender style .60 &.73. But !! I have the same quirk logo must be face up. I just ordered a starter set, although I do like lighter picks these days, use to play thick picks all the time and have heard so many good things about these picks.

    Why is scene 2 volume boosted so much?

    Just went through your preset, keep in mind I'm not running 4 cable so I had to ditch the loop and put in a amp and cab block, for testing. As far as setting volume per scene's, yes clicking on the output and going to the sliders for each scene is probably the best method. I did have a slight...

    Using EV-2 for wah

    Personally I would not limit the sweep of the pedal. Had Mission spring loaded worked great felt like any Dunlop wah. Started using an EV-1, it did take a little bit getting use to using it as a wah. However for me at least; allot easier to finesse. Allot easier to park the wah. Give it a week...

    5-way Super switch (Strat)

    Just to clarify I do love the middle pick up by itself. But when there's no tone control I just find it the exact way you described it to pointy. What you described for yourself as far as modifications off the top of my head all sound doable with a super switch. But no tone controls for...

    It's funny you say that, I may pick up a Fender Princeton in the near future (week or so). I want it for the living room, "functional art". It will go with the decor and just a great sounding amp.

    Was headed towards Strymon but the $$ are adding up

    Can kind of relate to this thread. A friend of mine built a board for a client, the heavy hitters on the board are Strymon: Big Sky, Timeline, Mobius and a, Eventide H9. There is also a Mesa Boogie amp switcher involved “Head Track” (in a separate rack). There is also an assortment of a few...

    Rhett Shull's Modeller Setup Tips

    I agree the wording is a bit "clunky", some of the stuff he was talking about regarding the Axe Fx was not correct but not wrong either depends on what your going for and the way your looking at it at the time. And the comments on high's and low's made me cringe a little (to much to get into). I...

    Will 10 be the last AX8 firmware ever?

    If there's an upgrade in the future I welcome it! But if not I'm okay with that too I love it just the way it is. At this point I would say it's probably not going to happen, keep in mind just a guess on my part.

    Last year went back to 9's on all my Fender guitars, cant tell you why, just felt right and sounds good. Tried with my Gibson's also but in the end went back to 10's (felt good but wrong all at the same time on the Gibson's). I knows makes no sense but that is the only way to describe it...

    Scene Controller

    From my post above: I think (guessing) what is happening when you go scene 1 to 3 that delay block is loading to its "X" state then bypassing, takes a little more time to bypass.

    Hey Andy Found the problem, I believe. You tell me. Took your file and made one change. Whats causing that little volume spike between scenes 1 & 3 is that first delay you have in the chain. for scene 1 it's in a "Y" state, scenes 2 & 3 it's in "X". When your in scene 2 going to 3 no problem...

    Pop noise switching scenes

    I forgot to mention! I assume you are using the FxLoop block to run out to a real cab. If so within that block you can also balance out your volume per scene.
