    Solved: That's a bit...

    Best most constructive suggestion ^ Although I understand what you are saying, there is always going to come a time when you have to upgrade. Any time you introduce new software or hardware to your computer and of course the computer itself.

    Yeah I'm digging it too! And I just redid my Les Paul's with 50's wiring. So riding the volume is now a must!

    Something else to keep in mind John has been using his cabs off stage covered in blankets he really does not need a boost to speak of FOH can control it

    V10 when to compress? Mr. Petrucci...

    Would not surprise me if it is being controlled by the Axe Fx as opposed to using the boost function on the Mark V. As you said its either on or off so whatever it's set to thats it. Doing it through the Axe Fx will not only give you a boost per preset if desired, and most important not locked...

    V10 when to compress? Mr. Petrucci...

    You are correct about the Axess midi looper (GRX4) I have the same switcher, you cannot reassign the order of the loops. As for the compressor I believe he pretty much uses it for cleans, just to tame them a bit. It’s nice to see what the other guy is up too and even be influenced by it, but...

    Cliff's tribute. Because the man deserves it!!!

    Ha Ha I had a similar experience. And the complex was a bit isolated also and off the main road. I think in the back of my mind was expecting small (shared) office complex with a Fractal sign on the front lawn. Well as you know there was no lawn. Nice complex just not what I imagined. But more...

    Joe Bonamassa pup review video

    The pickups and new pots and caps are now installed with the 50's wiring, and I have not spent much time with it but--.

    Joe Bonamassa pup review video

    Hey Don Just got my pickups today, I went with the antiquity version. I’m not usually into that sort of thing but the guitar is 32 years old so the pickups are kind of matching the rest of the hardware. (And yes! I am the original owner) And since you seem pretty passionate about the pots...

    Joe Bonamassa pup review video

    Should have my JB pickups this week (I hope) and after seeing your video, they can’t come fast enough. I’m glad that you mentioned that you went with 50’s wiring. Because when you started to turn down by half and the guitar did not muddy up, the first thing that crossed my mind, treble bleed or...

    Which Pick Do You Pick

    For me lately it has been JB picks, gauges vary depending what type of tone I may be chasing at the time. Play allot of acoustic.

    Linking Processors in AxeFXII

    From what I understand No. The AF II uses one processor just for the amp blocks and the other for everything else. So you could unburden the unit of the amp blocks but it would still be one processor for effects for and general housekeeping. However you still have a cool idea! You could use the...

    As to what I use with my setup been pretty much sticking with the Axe Fx wah, I like the ability to have a different wah with whatever preset. I have a DCR-1SR also, great wah however: do yourself a BIG favor and replace the inductor with a red Fasel inductor. It will sound allot better much...

    Why doesn't Ripwerx work with Axe Fx II and FCB1010 ?

    Suggestion! Go into the AF II I/O to the Midi tab scroll down to " Send Realtime SYSEX " set it to "none" The Sysex messages from the AF II might be hammering your FCB1010 especially if it is set to "All" And also as stated above leave midi merge off John

    Middle position twin humbucker

    Using the middle selection on the switch really depends on the guitar for me. On a 24 fret guitar the physical location of the neck pickup is different than a 21 or 22 fret guitar and this is the differences I have observed, for my taste at least. I have a couple of Ibanez JPM’s 24 fret and a...
