    Found something amusing on Musician's Friend

    Was looking at basses tonight, and I spotted something a bit off in the photo. Zoom in on the first photo of the body and look at the bridge. Someone in marketing made a bit of an oversight I think. ;)...

    Orange 4 Stroke 500 Q values.

    I'm trying to nail down the bass tone of Misa from Band-Maid. I've got it close, but it's not quite there yet. I've got all the right frequencies and db settings in the PEQ, but I don't know what the Q settings should be. Anyone happen to know what the Q values are on this amp, or how to...

    Just a note for those using Windows Defender.

    When I went to install the Axe III USB driver, it wouldn't install correctly in Windows 10. I had to disable Windows Defender temporarily to install it, and after that it was fine. I think someone else had the same issue with BitDefender antivirus. Just disable it during the driver install...

    USB Input Level question.

    In the Axe II there's a USB Input Level setting in the config somewhere. Is there a similar setting in the Axe III? I dug around looking for it this morning, but I couldn't find anything, and I couldn't find anything in the manual about it. I improv on bass with music coming in from the...

    Converted Digitech GSP 2101 Presets

    I converted over these presets back when I had an Ultra, and then recreated them when I got my Axe FX II back when they first came out. Now I have an XL+ and I've updated them for Quantum 3.03 and uploaded them to AxeChange for anyone who wants them. Curiosity...

    Added my universal bass preset to AxeChange.

    I've had a few people ask me to upload the bass preset I use to AxeChange, so I finally did it if anyone's interested. http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=4299 The notes are just a jumble of text because it doesn't allow line breaks in the description, but everything's in...

    Wah noise.

    I had posted this before but I don't see it here now. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten. The Wah, when attached to an LFO, ADSR, etc... to cycle it through its range, makes a higher frequency cricket type noise as it cycles. It would be very much appreciated if that could be...

    Input impedence suggestion.

    I was reading something about input impedance in another thread and realized it was something I never touched. My bass tends to be very bright on the top end, so I played around with the input impedance settings and found that switching from 1K to 1K+Cap made a nice sounding, subtle change to...

    Thank you and a question.

    Just a general thank you for the great work you guys have done on Axe-Edit so far. I used it today for the first time since it was released again and nothing crashed it. Using the mouse wheel used to make mine crash on the old versions. No crashes, no random Axe lockups, nothing. It worked...

    Wah noise.

    Not sure if this is a bug, but I figured I'd mention it in case it's something that can be fixed. If you add a wah block and then link the control to LFO A for example so the control goes up and down with the LFO, it's creating this sort of a light ring modulator type of sound as the control...

    Envelope Filter

    Hey guys, I've always kinda like the sound of bass with envelope filters, though I don't use them myself. However, I would like to have that ability on my bass preset to be able to throw that on and play with it now and then, only I'm not sure how to dial it in to get the sounds like I hear...

    Weird AC

    I have this AC-30 preset I made that was just an amp and cab, and I just added an enhancer to it before making this recording. It always had this strange, compressed, weird sound to it, so I thought, what if I run my Fender P-bass through it just for a goof? This is similar to what I get with...

    Anyone ever had wood swell ruin a guitar?

    Back in February I bought a guitar that, when it arrived, had a rosewood fretboard that seemed quite dry for a new guitar. I oiled it down on the first string change and didn't think much of it at the time. Then I had other problems with it. The spring claw screws were in so tight I couldn't...

    Chi Cheng, bassist of the Deftones is dead.

    Chi Cheng, the bassist of the Deftones died yesterday, April 13, when his heart stopped. They haven't mentioned any official cause of death yet. Not only sad, but scary. The guy was my age, but he had had some serious problems, like having part of his brain removed after a bad accident. Poor...

    Question about tone pots and caps for Aldrich pickups.

    I just put a set of Suhr Aldrich pickups in my Schecter C-1 FR, and they're absolutely amazing, but the tone pot is left over from the old active Duncan Designed blackouts that were in it, and when you roll the tone knob down, they go super dead. I was wondering if anyone could make a...

    A few guitar maintenance recommendatons.

    I recently put a minor scratch in my Schecter C-1 FR with a screwdriver. I'm really anal about keeping my guitars clean and scratch free, so I went looking for a way to remove the scratch. I saw a lot of recommendations for Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0. I bought a bottle at Wal Mart along with...

    Heartbreaking.

    This is absolutely heartbreaking to watch, especially for someone like me who keeps his instruments as pristine as possible. Even my 23 year old Fender P-bass doesn't have much more wear than you'd see if you pulled it off the wall at a guitar center. I have a 21 year old fretless that looks...

    Bass No Amp Sim 4 (Really probably the last incarnation this time)

    I've updated my no amp sim bass preset. This will probably be the final time considering the CPU is between 87-90% now, so I really can't do anything more with it. In this final update, I've added GEQ 4 to the top line. This one has the mids bumped for those who want more mids. Obviously...

    Wondering how much my bass is worth.

    Hey guys, I have an unbelievably rare Fernandes APB-4 fretless bass. I bought it new in 1990 or 91 for $800, and its spent most of its life in a hardshell case, so it looks like it could be hanging brand new in any guitar shop right now. I've only ever found one other of these, but it was...

    Bass No Amp Sim 3 (Probably the final incarnation.)

    I've posted variations of this preset before, but this is the current, and probably final incarnation of it. This bass preset can give you a massive variety of bass tones and effects. It uses no amp or cab sims whatsoever. The tones come from the GEQ blocks only. I know this preset looks...

    Enhancer issue.

    Using the enhancer with bass, with the width set to 100, G on the E string and on the D string both come out almost entirely on the left side, while all the other notes on the neck and even Gb and Ab all come out properly on both sides. With width set to 50, it works properly, but 100 shoots G...

    Bass preset with no amp or cab sim.

    This is a general purpose bass preset that doesn't use an amp or cab sim. What it uses instead for its tone is a compressor, followed by two graphic eqs. I've also included a variety of effects to use. Here's a rundown of the preset: CMP -> GEQ1 -> GEQ2 -> WAH -> ENH -> PHR -> CHO -> DLY ->...

    Really bizarre GEQ bug.

    I have a preset I made where if you play while the GEQ is displayed, the 2K indicator bounces up and down, and the letter at the top changes to the tuner reference of whatever note I'm playing. So if I play an Eb, it says Eb at the top. If I play an A, it says A, etc.... It only does it on...

    Suggestion: Split the Share and Request Patches section of the forums.

    I would like to suggest splitting the Share and Request patches section into two separate sections for Axe I and Axe II since the two aren't compatible. Seems like it would just keep things neater.

    What's the best deal you ever got on music gear?

    I have four Fender bass speaker cabs. Two BXR 410's and two BXR 115's, which I've had for 21 or 22 years now. They have Eminence speakers, but they're custom to Fender specs (I'm assuming). Well I wanted to replace them with new Eminence speakers, because I use them for guitar too, so I...

    Question about the mic sims and the possibility of a null cab.

    I really don't know how the mic sims in the Axe are done, but since you can apply them to the user presets, I'm assuming the mic sims themselves are separate and apart from the cabs? If that's so, I was wondering if it would be possible to add in a "Null" cab to the Axe. Basically, a cabinet...

    Recto Red patch.

    I've been tweaking this patch for a long time so I figured I might as well post it. It uses two cabs. User 4, which is a "BMI - Orange Custom sm57 V2" (cab included here from the Axechange), and the stock Recto 2 cab.

    One more bass patch.

    Is there a way to prevent pitch jumping with synth?

    I've always had the problem, both with guitar and bass, that D-E on the A string, and a few other notes as well will lose tracking and pitch jump if you hold the note longer than just a very short period of time. My question is, is there a way to prevent this, or at least to limit the...

    Double Bass patch. - (Note added)

    This was requested, so I threw one together. Here's the release notes on it... The cab goes in user slot 10, unless you want to use a different one, in which case you'll have to adjust which user slot you're using in the cab settings in the patch. This patch is simply my Geddy Lee patch with...

    Request: Digitech Grunge Pedal

    The grunge distortion from Digitech has a rather individual feel and an edge to it. I used it for a variety of patches in the GSP-2101, but they also had a separate grunge pedal, that while different sounding, was still very close to the 2101 version. I think it'd be cool to see it modeled in...

    Updated bass patches.

    I've updated my two bass patches that use the Ampeg sim. I've made some level adjustments to avoid any harshness at loud volumes and totally re-worked the cabs in the mellow patch so that it actually sounds pretty decent. Still, as always, I recommend using them without cab sims because they...

    Increase of the attack time on the noise gate.

    I'd like to have the attack time on the noise gate increased to at least 1000ms in order to create the ability to do automated fade-ins without having to control the signal manually with a pedal, which would work but wouldn't be consistent like it would be by having a higher attack on the gate...

    Question about doing a fade-in.

    Maybe someone can help me with this within the current abilities of the Axe. If not, I'll have to request a parameter change on the wish list. I'm trying to re-create a patch from my Digitech GSP-2101. I managed to get it close sound wise, but the key element to it is that it uses a noise...

    Question about stereo.

    I run a stereo rig, but for some reason everything in the Axe is coming out mono.

I've been...

    New Non-Amp Sim Bass Patches

    I don't use FR cabs, so when I'm working on the patches, I actually start out by playing them through my cabs and get them sounding good through the cabs for the live sound, and then finish the patch adjustments in headphones, since that's mostly what the recorded sound will sound like, and then...

    Ok, here are the re-vamps of my original bass patches and one additional one that includes a bit of a dirty edge. There are some major changes in these, which are as follows: 1. The cabs have been re-worked to sound better. I still prefer the non-cab sound, but the cabs sound decent on both...

    Possible bug with the synth block.

    There seems to be a bug with the synth block. In both the synth presets (146 and 360) and the violin preset available here which also uses the synth blocks, if you play and hold E and Eb on the A string, on Eb it'll play right for a second and then the pitch will suddenly shoot up. With E...

    I'd like to, when the patch is on the main patch screen, be able to scroll through the patches by pressing, or pressing and holding (for faster changing) the arrow buttons rather than putting extra wear on the data knob to scroll through them. Using the data wheel for that is just causing extra...

    Ok this is the patch I use for bass, and it's set up in a way that works for me.

You'll probably need to make some adjustments for your particular system, but in any case, it's...

    Tuner and synth block can't track below G on the bass.

    I'm primarily a bass player and use the Axe mostly for bass, though I do play guitar as well. I was noticing tonight that the tuner can't really track below the low G. It becomes highly unstable and doesn't track accurately when it eventually does. The synth block oddly enough has the same...

    Midi mapping doesn't cover full patch range in the Ultra.

    The midi mapping in the ultra only goes up to 254, which would cover banks A and B. The Ultra has a third bank, so it should go up to 383 rather than 254, because as it is now, we can't map any patches above 254. Since the Ultra has its own separate firmware, this should be, I guess, an easy...
