    Wish Axe Edit: visually display changes from default settings in Blocks

    It would be great for axe-edit to visually display (ex. different color or highlight) non-default value changes to blocks in a patch. This would be a great learning experience for users when reviewing patches created by other experts and FAS.

    Out-of-Phase Humbucker Guitar Filter Block Help

    I have been trying to simulate an out-of-phase humbucker setup for a preset using the Axe-FX III Filter block. I have a Gibson Les Paul, but really don't want to re-wire it with an out-of-phase switch. Also, I'm trying to emulate the Peter Green LP out-of-phase sound. I've attached the filter...

    12.08 Public Beta 4, Tom Petty Preset

    Really digging 12.08 Beta 4, so I though I would use it to beef up a Tom Petty patch. I used this patch when I played out with cover bands, so it works well in a live performance context. W/firmware 12.08 Public Beta 4, came improvements with the Compressor and Pitch Shifting, so I have added...

    Guitars and String Gauge Discussion

    I just ran across a new string manufacturer out of Nashville called "StringJoy". I ordered a couple of their balanced sets (9's and 10's). A little expensive, but because they're "balanced tension" they do have a better feel...I'm hoping they last longer to justify the cost. Also, they have a...

    Having trouble using the looper, feel it affects tone of presets

    Again, I love all of the patches in this collection. However, something happens that changes the patch sound, when I start adding effects (even without enabling the effect block) to the patches (ex. wah, compressor, delays, volume pedal, etc.). It's almost as if the added blocks by themselves...
