    Switching from AX8 to Axe-Fx III

    Oh - - the AX8 is not getting the love. I got a III, does it sound better, well yeah! I hope so! Does it feel better yeah, to me there is a huge difference in the feel. Still love my AX8 still has great sounds especially in the context of a mix were the differences are not noticed as much...

    Want to buy an AX8... should I wait?

    Hard decision and allot of it depends on what you want and expect out of the unit. Is it as powerful as its big brother the Axe Fx II, no As @jzucker said there are compromises as he listed in the post above. But in other ways it's way more convenient! and matching block for block on the Axe Fx...

    FC-12 plus some Expression pedals - What board will you mount to?

    Yep ! Having that though also, current board has the MFC and 2 EV-1's. And the FC-12 will be pushing a EV-1 off my current board. In my case I like leaving one of the expression pedals as a dedicated wah, just to tap into my inner Michael Schenker on demand. But - - don't use the wah all that...

    Mastermind LT Phantom Power via Axefx 2

    The cable is not all that bulky, and rather to much than not enough (as far as data) audio that's different. I think some of your choices might be: Order the cable and live with it a few weeks and if you find it to long take it to a local tech to shorten it. A local guy can probably just build...

    Mastermind LT Phantom Power via Axefx 2

    I just looked up out of my own curiosity, according to the Axe Fx 2 manual: WARNING! Do not connect an AC adapter with a rating higher than 1A to the Phantom Power jack. Doing so will damage your Axe-Fx II. And according to the specs on the Mastermind LT, not to be confused with the Mastermind...

    Treble bleeds...

    In most cases I have 50's wiring and don't care for the treble bleed circuit. But I also have guitars were I do have it. Its pretty much a case to case thing with me. In my collection the ones they do have it are are the ones with slightly hotter pickups. This is not by design but have noticed...

    At the very least maybe upgrade your ram the current machine, cheap enough these days give you a little extra out of your current machine. 4 gig's is pretty low, Windows 7 is minimal 1 gig for 32 bit and 2 for 64 bit then you put Ableton into the mix which I believe is 4 gigs, your page file...

    Any FC release time info ?

    Yeah that was me too! :p Got it hooked it ran some presets for a hour or so, then broke out the MFC. And for the next weak or so never had a guitar hooked up to it. Getting familiar with midi again, deciding what controller numbers to assign to what on the Axe Fx III and so on. John

    Any FC release time info ?

    Scene selection via midi?

    Velcro Problem (looking for suggestions)

    You can go a few routes, dual-lock which is my favorite for most situations, I use its 1 inch wide for boards like the MFC and AX8, for pedals 1/2 inch would be more than strong enough. A little goes a long way! In the photo these pieces are about 1x1 squares more than strong enough for the...

    How are the Celestion IR's?

    It does make sense, if you sample any of the speaker's Go to the closed back 1x12 closed back, 2x12 closed back, & 4x12 closed back the difference is marginal. That being said, I do like them allot. They also mix well with other IR's John
  95. 6L6C

    Pete Thorn

    Another reason (at least for me) is the board itself, once you wrap your head/workflow around it. Those foot switches can be anything you want per preset. Less switches than a MFC but way more powerful, at least for what I do.
