    Anybody out there using an FXII with a Bose L1?

    FRFR speakers aren't. Headphones aren't either. Tuning a patch with one transducer (especially to a highly tweaked standard) and changing over / playing through another will almost alway disappoint. As for the Bose sticks, I've seen and heard them used with amazing (when I realized what...

    New EHX organ pedal!

    So, given that there are envelope filters and gates in the AXE FX, it may provide a more controllable version of a B9 emulator.

    So, has anything popped lately in B9 pedal preset arena?

    New IR sets?

    Let me second the call for a couple of good 4x10 cabs. The magic of a 50s tweed Bassman and the Mid 60s Super Reverb would be great addition to the low-gain enthusiast. Oh, and the SRV / Cesar Diaz Vibroverb 15 would be nice too.

    Hillbilly High-End (meaning homemade / DIY) Floor Monitors

    Good thinking on the GM50s. Those would have been nice. In my case, I guess I would need passive crossovers to run the GM50s. Really good custom passive crossovers can be built by a guy named Curtis “Too Tall” List. Another case of “had I used the coaxial”, Curtis has a crossover designed...

    Hillbilly High-End (meaning homemade / DIY) Floor Monitors

    So far I have been able to suppress my OCD compulsion to add up the total cost. I’m going to guess about $1,400 each. If I had used the coaxial BMS 12CN680, passed on the LineX and steel grills (still have never mounted), and not doubled the plywood purchase (just in case), they could be built...

    Hillbilly High-End (meaning homemade / DIY) Floor Monitors

    DIY FRFR CAB

    Very Nice. I did something similar, built around a pair of BMS 12CN860s, a dbx Driverack 260, and a pair of QSC PLX1804s. The BMSs are triaxial, neodymium, point sources. Was looking for the more commonly known coaxial version, when I stumbled upon these drivers. Checkout the BMS and...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 15.00 Public Beta

    More Than One Update Command??? This is a great idea! Therefore I hate to ask, but is it possible to have more than one “Update All Amp Blocks in All Presets” command? Is it possible to have one that ignores (doesn't reset to default values) the more commonly tweaked controls (as...

    Is it hard to get good tone with AXEFX using Carvin Neck Thru all Koa guitars?

    The guitar sounds like a big investment in ingredients. With the right recipe, it should be great. Carvin can certainly do a great build. But, please understand, no one here can judge how something that hasn't been built, seen, or played will come out for sure. And, no one really knows what...

    Need some help - ringing in the ears after playing... not an FX fault, an ear fault!

    What about listening position and proximity? When you listen to the non-irritating amps/cabs, are they is same place and direction relative to your ears? I've found anything that emulated a close mic-ed guitar speaker (even a recording) doesn't sound right close to the ear,...through...

    Cliff & Crew, have you contacted Redwirez about UltraRes™?

    Question: Howdy Mike / Redwirez, Is there any word on when (or if) you will be posting longer .wav files for conversion to UltraRes? Sure would like to get back to using my RW cabs for my Fractal. Answer from RedWirez 24 April 2014: Yes, but we'll have to charge for them...

    Can your AXEFX nail the MkIV sound?

    Yah, what Chris said. There are a very large number of factory cab blocks and then you can load IRs (UltraRes being a new FAS developed format) into user cabs. The number is different IRs available is staggering, due to the number drivers, cabinets, microphones, mic positions, and power amps...

    Did you find a quick way to screen for length and separate the long files?

    So I converted all of my OH wav files

    Would be nice to know if 1) Cab Lab ignores wav files that are too short, and 2) what the degradation would be if a too short file is converted.

    What happened to mixing cab backs?

    Howdy all, Just bought the OwnHammer packs and own all of the Red Wirez stuff. I’m reading a lot and putzing around with Cab Lab to mix IRs. I’m just curious what happened to the trend for mixing IRs with back of cab mics? I was reading from the gospel from the Apostle Scott, and was...

    1:1 - Let`s talk A/B testing actual Amps to their Axe-Fx II Counterparts

    Maybe? What if all cab blocks initially held a generic (average) speaker impedance curve as a starting point (template). And the user could tweak and save the curve, of an IR, in the cab block (assuming the IR is just one component of the Cab block). Then, the impedance curve could be read by...

    Well.... It would seem to me that removing the Cab block, could be mean you do not want the effect of speaker loading and frequency response influences on your Axe-FX output,...perhaps because you are going into a speaker a guitar speaker cabinet. But, I see your point if a guitar speaker's...

    1:1 - Let`s talk A/B testing actual Amps to their Axe-Fx II Counterparts

    Great Thread! I learned a lot. Cliff, Why isn’t the speaker’s impedance curve a part of the speaker sim block? If we could tune the impedance curve and save it as part of the speaker, couldn’t we maintain the speaker’s personality and effects as we swap speaker sims around in our Axe-FX...

    Scott Peterson Styled Preset Template

    Scott Peterson Styled Preset Template

    Howdy you all. Back toward the end of the Ultra days, I was making a bunch of preset following Scott’s two row layout with the time effects in parallel. I just got my AXE II. Is that layout still a preferred technique, or does something about the AXE II make that approach...

    How many Axe FX's have you convinced others to buy?

    Rethink, Rework, Reboot. Building a preset - JCM800 - Major Twist for ANY Preset
