    USB audio issue (Mac OS X)

    I've had the same problem using Garageband and the Axe 2 as sound card. It happens when I shut down the Axe2 and leave the computer running. When turning the Axe2 back on I get the studdering. Restarting Garageband fixes it.

    Finally found someone else with an FXII!

    50s through eighties were like the Renaissance. We are in a musical dark age. Playing an instrument is too hard for kids that came up in an era of instant gratification.

    Input 2 question

    I plugged an iPad into input 2 (stereo pair) to use a synth app. How can I get that to work with a guitar in input one in the front. I'm guessing I need another chain in the preset with an amp and cab. Is this correct? How do you send the two inputs to separate amps?
