    FM3 My cover of Aerosmith's, "Combination."

    Since this thread is still alive and well... my favorite track from Rocks is " Lick and a Promise " .. great lyrics for a budding guitarist like myself in the 70's

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    I know this is an ongoing battle, the way I interpret Cliff's documentation means as soon as I load a preset that was created under a previous firmware the new updated parameters are automatically loaded ? No 'soft reset ' necessary ? If so, a big thank you to Cliff and staff..

    Electric 12-string thoughts?

    Yeah , that video does not do it justice... Have lots of high end guitars and this 12 string is not that bad for like $400 , read up on it's reviews. 1/8 the price of a Rick. For the few tunes I use it for it fits the bill.. Plus it has the Jimmy Page vibe.
