    Metallica backstage part 2!

    Severed, I agree completely. I have been doing the same for more than a year now and I am very impressed by the audience captured videos of the FOH sound from Big Mick. The engineer that does the board recordings for the band's videos is clearly skilled and capable but I agree that the mix isn't...

    Stereo Rigs- Real Amps

    He is using the same idea, but he has a tray of pedals in a loop switcher instead of using the Axe in front of the amp. You should ignore his routing for now and just focus on one combo and the 4 cable method plus an additional cable from out 2 to the second amps effects return. This will give...

    Stereo Rigs- Real Amps

    Well, I have an Axe 2, not an fx8, but here goes. I would say that the most logical way would be to only run the preamp of one amp. You have two of the same amp, so I can't see any benefit to having one be the clean and one the dirty. The signal would go from guitar to in 1, and then out 1 to...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 4.00 Public Beta

    I usually stay away, but credit where its due. This is an impressive advance.

    Countdown 0.5...

    Having read all of the opinions..My first thought was a serious firmware revision and official axe edit. The presets have been there forever and I've been wondering when they would all be updated with some better, more official ones. From what I gather they are all old submitted presets from...

    Frustrating situation with using Axe-FX at an open Blues jam

    Well, I wonder why the guitar would have to roar through the monitors....Are there just 2 mains and NO monitors? If there are separate mains and monitors then it should be simple to set a reasonable amount of guitar in the mix. My first fear would be that the patches that you have prepared for...

    NOOB Question on Atomic Reactor 18 W

    I tried it and even went so far as to try a tweeter with it but its not flat enough and there is not enough headroom. If you own it right now I'd suggest that you sell it because they still fetch a decent price. For the $250 - $350 that you can get out of it you can easily pick up a descent...

    Axe FX tuner precision VS Korg DTR and peterson

    The tuner is good and accurate for 6 string standard tuned guitars. The first reason for a rack tuner would be to see the display from further away on a stage. The small display on the axe works great within 10 to 20 feet but a rack tuner has a much larger display. Another problem that Ive heard...

    Question about Mesa speakers

    They are a mesa / celestion collaboration which created a speaker that is similar to a classic lead 80. They sound great and many people love them (I used several before going direct) BUT they aren't EV12Ls nor are they frfr. The OEM mesa 12ls that I've seen didn't have labels on the back and...

    The Mesa Mark series EQ once again...

    There's the real feel. I had thought about doing this because it made sense, but I never had until I saw this thread. I had avoided the mark sounds (that I sold to get the axe) because others just felt better. I'll go the distance and say that this is the only way to employ the graphic boogie...

    First gig, trouble with noise floor.

    Well my first question would be whether you have ever played that venue before and used the same outlet there before. I've never used pedals in the axe's loop but with other tube analog switching setups I've dealt with there were grounding issues even when I thought that the item wasn't in the...

    All Highcuts - Watch Yourself - Don't be disappointed

    Well I feel great right now after realizing a stupid mistake. I have been a regular troll here for a long time and have posted very little in comparison to all that I have taken in this journey from great analog gear to great digital gear. I've used the same three routings for all of my presets...

    Phantom power of GCP....

    I called VoodooLabs while I was at the Goodwill several months ago getting a GCP adapter to finish my rig. I couldn't find an adapter that met spec. but the tech at Voodoolabs said that as long as it had more than 500ma but not too much more [maybe not more than 1200ma] it could be AC or DC and...

    Ground Control (not Pro) question

    I've owned the original ground control before I bought the pro and the main feature added was the ability to save the states of IA. Your unit is functioning as it should. What I did was invert the IA state in one of the menus so that all of the IAs are lit and then you shouldn't have to press...

    Mesa Mark Series Graphic EQ Block

    I have spent a while trying to the mark geq sound right and have tried the geq and peq with mediocre results until 5 minutes ago as I was reading through this thread and revisiting shrediknight's wiki settings. I have been playing other sims just because I could make them sound great but I still...

    Atomic Reactor 112 (18w) - Wire in a crossover/tweeter?

    I made an attempt to do just this and I found that it just never got very flat. Also, there wasn't enough headroom in the 18watt version. I am glad that I gave up and sold the 18watt reactor before I routed the tweeter into the baffle. You can give it a shot but I would suggest just wiring the...

    My new rack with Axe FxUltra

    For my first post after months of lurking - I will tell you that you can make any of the drives sound like your pedal, if you A B them. So.....you shouldn't worry about selling your GCX (mine went a month ago) but you may want to hang on to that favorite overdrive so that you can make a drive...
