Bug? Axe-edit 3 crashing when moving window to 2nd monitor

Running Axe-edit 3 version 13.08, program works fine when opened on main monitor. When attempting to move window to 2nd monitor, window locks up at the edge of main monitor. Looks like the problem appeared with version 13.04, as previous versions do not exhibit this problem.

Suhr Thornbucker 2 and Duncan 78

I've got a Suhr Modern guitar with a Suhr SSH+ in the bridge that I'd like to replace with a lower output humbucker. I've noticed some folks seem to like the Suhr Thornbucker+ or the newer Thornbucker 2 in place of the SSH. It looks like the Thornbucker 2 is almost identical in spec. to the...

NGD Charvel

Just got this fine specimen in from Sweetwater yesterday. Plays very nice with the typical Charvel neck (I'm pretty sure the frets are super jumbo-they're huge). Pickups sound great in all positions, the single coil simulation is fine, but not very stratty-no hum, though. The finish is emaculate...

Sanding neck on Fool guitar

I have a version of Clapton's "The Fool" SG and I'm thinking about sanding the paint off the back of the neck to improve the playability. It's a pretty heavy, textured finish, since it was hand-painted with oil-based enamels, like the original. Clapton did this to his original SG after the paint...

I love the amp tones in FW10. The Marshalls, Fenders, every amp seems to have its characteristic sound and feel that differentiates it from each other and has it in spades. I've owned plenty of tube amps (Marshalls, Fenders, Deizels, Egnators, Blackstars, etc.-all gone now thanks to Axefx) so I...

Question about presets

Standard owner here, was wondering if the presets that come with the Axe-fx are set up/optimized for gig-level volumes or lower studio-level volumes? I'm still working my way thru the presets on a set of studio monitors and seems some sound good at any level while others only at cranked volumes.
