    What Tools do you use for Mixing IRs?

    I suspect Scott Peterson's simple directions for using a stereo cab with one NF and one FF IR will increase interest in mixing IRs significantly, and more FF IRs will be available in the near future.

    Ultra Cabs

    Before I sold my Ultra I ran sweeps through each of the cabs and through straight shunts. Seems simple enough, and I have made IRs before without problems, but there is something wrong with these that has me puzzled. Does anyone have a set of sweeps (or failing that, IRs) from the Ultra that...

    Function to allow one IA switch to control other IA switches

    This was prompted by an Axe-Fx wish list item from earlier today, where the poster wants to switch Amp1XY and at the same time bypass/activate a couple of other blocks. One way to do this is to assign an IA to NONE and then use it to send the commands for all three blocks, but you lose the LED...

    Checking Levels Between Blocks

    Very simple, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it mentioned. You can check levels between blocks by temporarily connecting the FX Loop at the point you want to check, and then watch Levels on Out 2 under the Utility menu. Useful for pinpointing which block is pushing the preset into clipping.
