    100% by-pass patch

    Mr. Fender... bingo... that was it.. I had the mix knob in the middle of wet and dry. Once I put it to 100% wet, all of that extra "noise" and phasey sounds went away and the tone difference between loop and non-loop is almost indistinguishable so I am very happy. There are still some things I...

    100% by-pass patch

    OK... so I have a little more information on this. I just noticed that as I turn the LEVEL knob down on the GATE patch (input-gate) option in AxeEdit, this sorta phasey sound goes almost all way, however, in doing so, any effect I later add does not work so it's like this LEVEL option needs to...

    100% by-pass patch

    As is reacquaint myself with the AxeFX 2, I've been struggling with the tone issue of things when run thru my Marshall JVM effects loop. What I did was to put a cable in my send/receive of my FX loop of my amp to see how much "coloring" of the tone that created and it very small... almost to a...

    Back to the grind

    so it's not my wireless... so here is what I did.. I created a new block with nothing in it... I turned my input gate off (although the level still works) what I am finding (or hearing) is what I would call a phasing of my tone, it's almost like I have a phase-shifter on coloring the sound and...

    I could not find my old laptop so I created a new patch from scratch.... From there, I was able to make things work but I'm still having some issues that I'm working thru for example, adding a REVERB block is changing the tone more that what I whole have expected... so just not adding reverb.

    12 vs 15 FRFR power speakers
