    USB over wireless solution?

    I'm trying to get patches dialed in for my church from an audience perspective. I have wireless for guitar, so I'd like to take my laptop to the middle of the room and make changes via Axe Edit. I'm not worried about latency at all. Can someone help me with terminology or a possible solution...

    Any sound designers around to help with a Pursuit of Happiness sound effect?

    Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare) Hey guys, trying to get a reasonable approximation of that filter sweepy and octavey thing that starts off the song. Anybody know where to start?

    Electric/acoustic and bass rig with separate control via midi?

    Hey guys, need some help figuring out how to make a somewhat complicated rig. The goal is to create 3 chains. An Electric chain, and an acoustic chain that will be “either/or” with a foot switch to switch between them. The acoustic chain would be simple, light compression and some reverb, but...

    Selecting a channel and changing bypass state at the same time

    I have a filter block set up with three switches set to select a different channel. I used to use the switches to also turn the block on or off, and that behavior has changed after a firmware update. What option should I be looking for in axe edit?

    One expression pedal for two amp blocks?

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but you can control two different amp blocks with one expression pedal, right?! I've got my pedal plugged into expression 1 and both amp blocks have modifiers with source as pedal 1. The first amp block "sees" it just fine, heel down is cleans, toe down is dirt...

    expression pedal states when switching scenes

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of setting an expression pedal to either amp gain or delay mix, and I'm curious what will happen on a scene change. Right now I'm selecting gain staging with scenes, as well as managing my delay states and I'm having to save a scene with every possible gain and delay...

    Closed Ignore certain block states when switching scenes

    I’d love to be able to use scenes to change amp and cab to the proper channel, maybe switch the drive and EQ channel too, without it affecting my time based effects. Similarly it would be great to change my pre and post delays and reverbs without having to save a scene for each amp combination...

    Recommend a pickup in emg40 size?

    Hey guys, I have a 5 string 35” scale Spector rebop that has an 18v hazlabs preamp. The original owner was going for the early AiC tones. In my hands it’s got a hifi and clean personality that borders on sterile and I’d really like to get it closer to Stingray, or Pbass territory. I don’t want...

    Can 1 button change Amp AND Cab channel w/out using scenes?

    Hey guys, I’m sitting out in front of my house waiting for my fc12 to be delivered (missed it yesterday ugh) and I’ve been scouring the manual and tutorial videos, but I don’t recall seeing folks describe this. I want to make each channel on the cab block match with a channel on the amp block...

    Any pro tips for combating noise (In situations where you should expect noise)

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if you had any tips for getting rid of noise when you have every reason to expect noise. I'm using single coils (in a Suhr, well grounded, good electronics etc) with cranked NMV amps that would absolutely be buzzing like a fridge if it was 'real' a tube rig. Let's...

    hardware fuzz woes

    So I took a major road trip that included a stop at Carter Vintage Guitars in nashville and I happened to snag a red dot nkt sunface pedal. They had a drip edge bandmaster just like mine, so I just grabbed a strat to try it out, and it gave me exactly what I wanted when I rolled down the volume...

    Sample library or VSTI for Motown/soul horn sections?

    Nothing kontakt based please, but I'm looking to get some horns in a couple mixes ranging from motown/soul maybe toward dave matthews band style jammy stuff. Nothing that's going to be the focal point in a mix or solo, and nothing symphonic/orchestral. Anyone have any recommendations that aren't...

    Challenge: Foo Fighters tones with single coils?

    Hey guys, the other guitarist in the band I just joined only has a cheapie Squier Strat with 3 singles. He doesn't have an amp, so he's using my spare AxeII, and I'm wondering how I can get him into Foo Fighters (Colour and the Shape era) territory for distortion. When I listen to that album, it...

    Best venues for metal shows in Northern California

    hey guys, I’ve been tasked with finding a good metal show for a bachelor party that is happening in October/November. I’ve never really tried to find a show this way, and I’m finding that only the biggest bands have booked their tours this far in advance. I could use your help putting together a...

    FRFR for (really) small gigs/stages

    TLDR = Really small bar, loud band w/dense mix, nearly no space. Personal monitoring pretty much IS the house mix, so how do I get it done as small as possible? If you've got time for a few chuckles: I'm so embarrassed. Like many of you guys, I've been collecting gear for 20 years, and I'm...

    Eliminating tap dancing. What would YOU do?

    I got invited to play in a funky smooth jazz thing, originally playing lead. He’s chomping at the bit to play his album out, so he’s asked me to take some of the Rhodes parts too. The leads are DRASTICALLY different than the rhythm tones, he really likes that searing liquid lead tone. The...

    SOLVED: Insufficient cpu to add block (trying to remove one)

    so I built into a preset that was already there and left plenty of stuff that I’m not using. Now I’m trying to clean it up and I’m getting the “insufficient cpu” message while trying to change power hungry blocks to “none” or “shunt” Is there a way around this? Tried pressing C for delete while...

    1 mfc to control Axe-III AND an Axe-II?

    Sorry if this isn't the proper place to put this, but I was wondering if it's possible to control basic functions on both units with one single MFC? I want half the mfc to control scenes and a boost for the AxeFxII and the other half to switch between 3 scenes, a boost, and amplifier channels...

    Better than real?

    I remember back in the days of the ultra, and early firmwares of II there was something "special" about the models. There was something a little extra about their response that was so addicting... You know when you're having one of those days where you are just "on point" with your technique...

    beta-testers: Do available controls change per amp now?

    Quick question, in the AxeII you have the same template of controls (Bass, Treble, Mid, Presence, etc) across all amps, even if the originals didn't have a mid or presence. On the other hand occasionally we had to have separate models made when amps had additional functionality like a deep...

    Supro Black Magick

    Been a while since I've felt amp GAS! Kinda bums me out that this is unlikely to get Axe'd since the magic seems to happen with it's two independent channels that get summed before the tone knob. You can just tell Andy is having a blast playing it in the video below... what your thoughts...

    Wish Next gen mfc request?

    Seems like something you'd have to implement from the ground up, so we're almost certainly talking AxefxIII and MFC202 but what about access to the Axe's fx loop on the mfc so that you can plop it on your pedal board with additional pedals and have it all travel back to your rack via the single...

    harassed by my sexual harassment classes...

    So it's that time of the year to complete my sexual harassment and discrimination education classes again and this year it's all hokey voice-over reenactments. Can't pass the class without the sound on, and I had to dive for the mute button because a client walks in while Jenny is moaning about...

    Info for a hardwood Cab build?

    Hey guys, so to my surprise my uncle (who's never been very interested in music) expressed interest in building speaker cabs. He's been working with wood for ages, and been kind of hardcore about it since he retired, so I'm absolutely certain he's got the skills to do it. I just need some help...

    Can I wire an iso box to a Cab this way?

    So assuming I build an iso box and put a "live in" cab inside and connect all four Jacks from the back to a panel on the inside. Then, from the panel on the outside, can I decide ohmage for different amps? Does having 4 speaker cables plugged in at once introduce noise or interference if only...

    What pairs well with OH V3 EV12L? (High Gain)

    Hey guys, I'm loving the Sunn EV12L from ownhammer and it's doing like 85% of what I need, but I'm wanting something else to mix with it. Kinda just looking for something to add some complexity in the mids and top, and add some "seething" quailities to the purr. The icing on the cake if you will...

    Studio High Gain:Getting transient detail and percussive attack with single tracking?

    Only having this problem with fw18, and only for "studio" patches, I've never had issues with it live. Having a weird problem getting good smacking transients on the fastest of chugs. My 8ths and 16ths are fine, but triplet 16ths aren't quite defined or "weighty" enough on play back and only...

    Time Aligning IR's made with the Axe FX II

    Hey guys, I'm currently trying to organize an IR shoot session, but I'm wanting to make sure everything I do can be mixed with OH impulses. How are you guys accounting for phase? I have a UAD-2 card with the IBP plug in already, but can't really think of a process to determine the adjustments...

    Goal: Most acoustically loud/resonant 7 string (Korina??)

    Hey folks, so I'm a bit lost in all the variables that go into building great guitars... I recently purchased a John Suhr Korina Standard guitar and it's been attached to me ever since, and I'm trying to nail down where the magic is really coming from. This guitar rings like a bell and resonates...

    FRFR cab for a metal bass rig

    So my all time favorite bass cab is the Mesa Powerhouse with 4 10's and a 15 in the middle. Live it's always had enormous punch, and I've always dreamt of picking one up, but I'm primarily a guitar player and the only bass work I do is in a studio direct in, or smaller gigs. Just joined a metal...

    Adapting a favorite Ultra sound effect patch to Axe II

    Hey guys, I'm really loving the AxeII and haven't missed my old presets except for one I snagged off of axe-change and fell in love with a while back. It was called either "Long Echo" or "Daniel Lanois Atmospere Delay" but I can no longer find it there so I've uploaded a slightly altered version...

    Ideas for a "less cut" switch for AxeII+MFC

    So getting more cut seems to be the easy part, but I'm wondering what the best route to take is for those situations when volumes you set for practice end up being too loud once its actually performance time. I've been using a rotary or chorus on my Ultra to make my tones wash a bit, but that's...

    Ultra running to board AND a cab?

    Hey folks, I'm trying to get my rig set up for Church here, and I'm not sure that what I want is possible... I have a power amp and 2x12 cab on stage for monitoring, so I deactivated cab sims. I was hoping to run the other out of the Ultra straight to the board BUT then I'd need cab sims on...

    Did I fry my Ultra ALREADY!? its like a knob is stuck..

    So I've had this thing for 2 days, and now it's freaking out on me. It's switching through pages and menus at a very fast rate and just going haywire. I powered down, waited a bit, and it's still doing the same thing. I've pressed all the buttons to see if any got stuck, but it didn't help. I...

    Had my ultra for 2 days now

    I feel like someone just dropped the finest marble and chisel in front of me (perhaps on my foot...) but it's up to me to carve out "David". Right out of the box this thing is unlike any amp(s) I've ever felt, but there's soooo much to get into under the hood that I'm kind of reeling. How do you...

    A question about the multiple ins and outs

    Hey folks, I've lurked for quite a while, and I swear I used the search first, but I have a question regarding the routing options.. I noticed the multiple in's and out's, and I read that you can have multiple signal chains as well, so I was wondering if it's possible to have two seperate...
