    Getting 2290 Delay to translate in mono mix

    So I know that the 2290 delay repeats won’t be heard if collapsed to mono due to the phase reversal on side but…Are there any work arounds for this in a mix? Perhaps there’s a method of routing or changing phase in a DAW that would allow hearing the magic of the 2290 in stereo while also...

    Easiest way to send bpm to drummer from axe fx

    Treble bleed mod

    You can absolutely mimic the treble bleed mod in the Axe. I’ve had great success tying an expression pedal to the Amp block input gain, along with treble and bass controls. Works great for me. You can also get more precise control using a PEQ for specific treble and bass frequency manipulation...

    AFIII One of my favorite lead tones so far for neck pickup

    Wanted to share this one as it's a somewhat odd combination of things! I've been having a blast with it for both recording and live performance. I'm using the FAS Express into the 2x12 TX Star (Factory 2 #147) and the 4x12 Recto 4047 A (Factory 2 #823). I'm boosting the front end a bit with the...

    I've been experiencing a strange intermittent issue I can't figure out.

    AFIII Legend 100, holy $*%#!

    I’m blown away by this one! So much fun to play with this kind of tone. Steve Vai’s tone has this elusive, low mid range magic I’ve never quite been able to get. It’s aggressive, yet smooth. Many amps get too muddy when you boost low mids. The Legacy 100 NAILS it! If you haven’t checked this one...

    Axe-Fx III into IEM's

    I highly suggest using separate outs for IEM and FOH. This way you can be more liberal with reverb and delay without muddying the house mix. Try using a room reverb at about 12-15% or so. Also try playing with the early and late reflections. I found some good results raising early reflections...
