    FC-6 vs. FC-12

    I received my invite to purchase either an FC-6 or an FC-12. I had a brief phone conversation with someone who has used both and he said that in his estimation the functionality of the FC-6 is comparable enough to the FC-12 that he felt that the extra weight, size and cost of the FC-12 made the...

    Wish Guitar modeling like Sim1 pedal

    There is a guitar pedal made by Sim1 called the XT-1. This pedal is able to profile guitars and then reproduce the character of the guitar with regular input from any guitar.

    Sim1 XT-1 guitar modeling pedal

    Has anyone on the forum heard in person and/or tried this new guitar simulation pedal? It seems like a very cool idea. The tones on the video demos are pretty good. I wonder how it feels . . .

    Question about volume of Drive Models

    I was working on a new patch tonight and I noticed that on some of the drive models there is a big change in volume when switching between drive models, even when the mix/level/drive knobs remain at the same value.

    I recently discovered Steven Wilson's album Hand Cannot Erase. What a great album! He is a phenomenal guitar player and an epic composer. I love the guitar work on this album.

    Placed my order for an AX8! So excited...

    Due to divorce I had to sell my AXEFX mark I about 2 years ago. I have been limping along since using an HD500. I kept telling myself that it wasn't so bad. And for $300.00 (bought it used) it really wasn't bad at all. I got usable if not inspiring tones out of it. When I got my invite to buy an...

    Man, my Axe2 sounded good tonight . . .

    I injured my hand last summer. My band was scheduled to play at a good friend's wedding so I kept playing (in spite of the discomfort) in preparation for the gig. Once the gig was over I put playing/practicing/band on hold so that I could figure out what was going on with my hand. I'm at the...
