    AX8 2?

    Would like to see a smaller ax8.. Maybe leverage a single keystone processor and pack audio interface capabilities in the smallest footprint possible. Use less buttons, but compensate with channels and mapping. I agree with keeping the expression pedal separate. Basically a tiny AxeFX3 that...

    Nice Rack Canada | Axe FX II | Warp Power

    sooo clean.. I always thought it would be great to build rigs for a living. I have fun when I get to do it for myself. Budget limitations forced me to find creative solutions to cable organization and the like, which was half the fun. But building something elaborate would be equally enjoyable...

    How do you listen to music?

    Relating to band members not as type A

    Yup, simply plan around their personalities. I had to do this back when I was in a band. The drawback however, is their lack of commitment held us back which ultimately lead to our demise. It is super difficult to find other musicians who are on the same page and the kicker is, they don't all...

    compact size (5 - 8 buttons) flexibility at least 2 expression pedal inputs phantom power scribble strips basically an lf+jr+... though, peak makes a controller similar to the lf+ mini for around $250usd. been eyeing it a lot lately. having a massive controller seems to defeat the purpose of a...

    What made you decide to go Axe FX?

    wanted to put together a rig that was smaller and more powerful than my original rack setup. scaled down from 8 spaces to a 4 space rack, and replaced the triaxis, mpxg2 and bbe with an axe fx ultra. later on i upgraded to an axefx 2. I could never really leave tube poweramps altogether. but i...

    You got any thoughts on the Evertune Bridge system?

    have an esp mh1000et and I like the evertune concept a lot. however, i'm selling that guitar. now that I'm familiar with the bridge, I can move on to an 8 string evertune. a bass bridge would be very useful, but they have yet to release a prototype. i think the physical size of the system could...

    What A Tool!!!!

    I agree with fricker's opinion on the axefx.. it does sound great and it IS pricey and definitely overkill for my part-time playing. but so what.. soon as I get the cash I'll buy another.

    I have gone full circle - awaiting delivery of my second Axe FX II....

    Had an AxeFxII Mk.II for my daw and another in my live rig, then I became unemployed. Sold them both, then switched back to the 11r I had stashed at my dad's place. While it does the job, it's nowhere near as good. With gainful employment finally on the horizon, I should have another FAS box in...

    Securing your Axe rig from theft?

    while it sucks to not be able to use your axe live, it's scenarios like this help me appreciate the value of cheaper gear.

    Axe Fx II vs Zoom G3

    as mentioned earlier, gonna be hard to compare to the axe. once you're comfy with that fact, then the world of sub $500 modeling is your oyster!! snatch up a used pod hd pro x, 11r, gsp1101, whatever if you're also looking for a backup. iirc, most daw and standalone guitar VST's can be...

    Axe Fx II vs Zoom G3

    maybe set up the axe so you can lug it back and forth until you have enough saved for a backup II / XL? sold both of mine due to unemployment. though I'll be gearing up for a more portable XL rig, once I'm stable.

    Safe distance to keep your phone away from your rig?

    Anyone using a 2x12 and a 4x12? How's this set up sound?

    in the automotive pro-audio realm, I've heard of guys adding physical fass-filters to their subwoofers. never really researched the idea, and the concept of a pass filter being a physical electronic component seems kind of odd. though, I wouldn't be surprised if it existed. I've run this rig...

    Anyone using a 2x12 and a 4x12? How's this set up sound?

    yes. axe fx II with mesa 2:100 and 4 cabs. sounds amazing. really far too much for my needs these days, since I don't play out anymore. just a nice reminder of my old rig and when I used to play out. I control the output level from the axe, poweramp levels are at 25%. if I were to turn the axe...

    Namm 2014

    FAS partners up with universal audio to introduce a pcieX locked axefx VST. the software and dedicated card handle all Axe-related processing and utilize a range of compatible studio interfaces to handle selectable bit/sample rates and physical I/O with zero latency. that would be killer. +1 on...

    Steel Guitar Black Box in a Front of Axe

    seems pretty cool, but rather expensive.

    Is there any point in buying a traditional amp after owning a II.

    as mentioned earlier, it really boils down to preference. but since the op asked :) , i run my ultra with a mesa 2:100 through a pair of cabs sims off and a direct signal with sims to a mixer. this has caused me to abandon my triaxis/2:90 rig, which will probably be sold or traded towards...

    How hard do you try???

    as the title suggests; it would be very convenient to be able to toggle the metronome in future updates of axe edit. maybe even have the ability to load our own 'click' sounds; but would settle for the ability to toggle the 'click' for now since we can already manipulate the tempo. thanks!

    Well, all's I gotta say is....

    the 2:100 is growing on me. i didn't like it at first when i was using it with my triaxis. the modern voicing was a bit harsh in the treble range. but with the ultra i made a dual amp patch using the recto new and das metal models and it sounds great. i made another patch with both recto...
