    Suggestions for Clean Tones

    I have been a long time AxeFX lover, but only recently have I really started to try and get a good clean tone out of the box. I would love to hear a nice Fenderesque Twin or Deluxe Reverb style tone. Full and warm, without the ice pick highs or flubby lows. I have what I believe are the...

    Tone Specific/Virgil Arlo Pup;s

    Hey Folks, I just ordered a set of Tone Specific 57/61 PAF clones for my Collings I35 Dlx. Anybody out there know these pickups? They are the offshoot of Virgil Arlo pickups. I am psyched as hell - the current Lollars in my I35 (basically a 335) are not what I expected. I am hoping...

    Volume control button midi

    Even though all the power does is light the light, you could easily add a 9 volt battery that would power the light if you really rely on the light. Not rocket science. If you aren't comfortable doing it, have a buddy who screws around with electronics do it for a beer. Or not... :-) Joe

    New XL - No MFC Names

    Sorry guys - used the wrong term. Not a newb, been here for 7 or 8 years - since early Ultra days. This is my 4th Axe. Chris - you are the most helpful guy on this board! Throw me a freakin bone here people! And btw - the manual isn't exactly well indexed. Finding things in the manual...

    New XL - No MFC Names

    Hey Folks - I am too psyched to play and too lazy to search for this topic. I just loaded my brand new XL with 16.02 - came w 16.01... and fired it up. The Axe seems OK (some noise I have to investigate) but I am not getting any names on my MFC Mark II. I was under the impression the MFC Mark...

    AxeFx II XL Presets into AxeFx II Mk2 - WTF???

    I am not going to get in the middle of the specifics of port to port mapping and other stuff, all I want to throw into the discussion is something I think has been said by a couple of people here already, but I will say it again because it feels good. I am a very casual forum reader. I go for...

    New song covered in Axe FX

    Damn Jon - I am not sure I have enough adjectives for this. I loved that piece. It is fresh, invigorating, intelligent, fun, and exciting! I haven't heard much music that I like this much in a very long time. It is also a great lesson in how to construct a song - start with a statement, and...

    What's the best way to record

    Hey Matthew I don't have a lot to add - except to say I do use SPDIF in a couple of places and I have always understood there to be serious issues with the quality of the cable you use for the spdif connection. Every manufacturer and book I have says don't use regular RCA cables as they are...

    Ethercon cabel - does it come with angled connectors?

    Couldn't you simply take the guts from the straight connector and put them into a 90 degree XLR housing? I believe that everything else would be equal and this would be very easy to do. if you aren't able to do it yourself, any cable or local repair shop should be able to do the work, and it...

    I'm just saying...

    Hey Man - I agree, but knowing which amp bock and which cab block you need is a huge piece of the puzzle. If you don't know what each of the amps are, or more importantly, what each of the IR's are good for, you are fishing. How are you supposed to know which cabinet to use to make a general...

    Own Hammer - Mix IR's Mix Bundles - Modern/Vintage

    Hey Cobbler, I do exactly what you say, but the slots dont populate. I select the destination slot as say slot 50, and hit Go, everything appears to process normally, but then when I look at slot 50 there is nothing there. Also - is there a way to bulk copy? This one off method, even...

    Own Hammer - Mix IR's Mix Bundles - Modern/Vintage

    Hey Scott I bought these - just downloaded everything, but I am pretty uncomfortable at how to get user cabs and mics into the Axe. Is there a good step by step you could recommend, or something that is maybe out there on video that would give us an example of how to get these into the Axe and...

    Ultra Owner considering the Axe 2... once bitten, twice shy.

    Hey XenAxe, If I said the Axe II only costs $900 would you buy one right away? I bet you would. Even if the Axe III does come out, you would get at least 1/2 if not more for the II for quite a while, so its not all gone money. I had the same hesitancy. But then I said screw it when I got a...

    Axe-FX II Preset Report Generator

    Hey Cyberferret, I had not seen the choice to output to xml. That is so freakin sweet!!! Does exactly what I was hoping for. This is exceptional! It will really help me find where some of the new patches I upload to my Axe are pushing the machine into clip. It sounds like it should be easy...

    Axe-FX II Preset Report Generator

    +1 on the Excel output. PDFs are great, but being able to get the output into Excel or even a .csv file would be fantastic. I posted a question about whether anything like this existed on he board earlier today. I will look at this tomorrow, but it sounds exactly like what I was hoping for...

    Is there a 3rd Party Axe Utility that...

    ...catalogs the settings for each patch? I don't mean just the blocks in a patch, but the levels of the individual settings of each block. Is this possible? Is there a way to query the Axe, or read it from a sysex file of the patch? It seems like if there was a way to read it, that this...

    Can I use Guitar rig Foot controller?

    Hey Andy - if you are interested I have a Rocktron All Access that I could let you have for short money, or I may even have a Rocktron Midi Mate. Both will do a great job with the Axe - the All Access is closer to the MFC - at least with the number of switches and higher level functions. The...

    AxeChange back button

    +1 All of AxeChange is a real pain. It needs a major overhaul. Its almost easier to grab the patches posted here in the forum than in the AxeChange DB. The search function returns a found set, you download a selection, and then when the download is done, you have to search for and then...
