    Volume block vs Out block volume

    Also further to the info already provided, the Volume blocks can be controlled by scenes, so you can bypass it in different scenes in case you want that controller to be used elsewhere. And they barely use any CPU so they are handy at a very low cost.

    Best Headphones?

    I went from Beyer Dynamics DT770Pros to Ollo S4x and love them. I have heard the S5x is even better, but I have spent my money on the S4x and don't see a need to change.

    New! DynaCab Pack Dr. Bonkers 8x10 SBB Bass (based on Ampeg SVT)

    I must say, this pack is so versatile! I have spent hours on it already and the tone options on it are incredible. I am loving how it is actually quite hard to get a bad sound out of it, there is very little "flubb" and it gives you a very wide tonal palette to work from. My main preset is...

    Asking for help with a pitch delay

    I actually found the original video where he talks about that preset and how he built the sound. Here is the link the to how he structured it: And here is his single chop to show the repeats working (it sounds like a dot8 and 1/4 note in series/parallel to give that galloping effect)...

    Asking for help with a pitch delay

    There was a video that came up on my FB feed a long time back where I remember he spoke about this chain very briefly, and I remember they quickly showed the path as well. I will try to find it, it is one of those 20 second convos he mentioned in one of his many videos about a completely...

    Asking for help with a pitch delay

    Thanks for the preset, it is a lot of fun to play around with. Your take is much better than mine which is why I haven't shared my attempt on this. :smile: There is something odd about the original which is what made me try to replicate it. I think it has to do with him routing 2 delays, each...

    Asking for help with a pitch delay

    Calling for help from experts (or non-experts) please! I have been trying to get a reasonably close version of the delay in this video (starts 4:46) but it is quite tricky (for me). So far the closest I can get is a Pitch block using a Dual Chromatic type (Shift = 12, Delay = Qrt Note) (I...

    Michael Dolce The Voice AXE FX 3

    I'd imagine he would only level the ones that he is going to use for the next show, that is if he doesn't sell them. I always think of Austin Buddy when new FW updates come out and feel so sorry for him (and other preset sellers).

    Michael Dolce The Voice AXE FX 3

    9000 presets!!! I bet you don't try to update your FW very often!? I used to do that (on a much lower level than you of course) but have ended up going for a kitchen sink approach where one that tries to do it all. It's ok for small things, but wouldn't work at your level of performing.

    Axe FXiii and FM9 together?

    I have both. I used to use the Axe3 with a GT22 for live stuff and recordings, but replaced both of those units with the FM9T for Live use. Today the Axe3 remains on my shelf, sadly I don't find the need to power it up very often as I have found it just as easy to use the FM9T for recordings...

    " 'You Did a Good Job', but My Guitar Was Turned Off"

    Hoekstra sounds like he did the right thing for the sound, which is a skill most musicians need to learn - being able to pull back when necessary. He probably deserves the compliment from Frehley because he made it sound better by not adding more noise.

    Anyone thrilled with their PRS SE?

    Love my DGT SE, it has very rich tones and good build quality. The only hassle I have had was the pickup selector switch being very stiff; so I popped a new one in and have no other issues. I'm comparing that to my much more expensive Gibson, and other guitars for reference.

    FM9 Firmware Version 8.00 public beta 2

    3-way toggle switch replacement for PRS SE DGT

    3-way toggle switch replacement for PRS SE DGT

    Yeah I was curious about that, I had seen several people comment about the custom switches being slightly different. I wish PRS would be proud of their SE switches too! The rest of the guitar is excellent quality (maybe excluding the push pull tone pot), very different standard to the switch...

    3-way toggle switch replacement for PRS SE DGT

    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    I’d be interested to see how your preset sounds. It could be that maybe you don’t have enough mids in your tone. If you get a chance, definitely try a different preset to experiment with how that cuts through.

    250$ for Metallica Black Album Preset

I use my guitar's volume knob to control how hard I am hitting the amp, so I...
