I have a guitar that I love - body material, neck material/profile/finish, SS frets, Floyd, pickups, etc. I have this guitar tuned to E flat, and with the way the Floyd sits, the action is super low, and I assume the for that reason and the neck finish/geometry, I can play faster and cleaner or...
I made the mistake of buying a new Epiphone Dave Rude Flying V out of Switzerland which had some factory QC issues, most notably a poor fret job. There is quite a bit of fret buzz in some areas of the neck, with one particular note (7th fret, D string) being very bad. I'm in the USA and figured...
Trying out my FC-6 with my FM3 for the first time at rehearsal tonight, and I can't seem to figure out the config. The button functions on the FM3 are duplicated on the bottom row of the FC-6. I suspect this is something simple, but I've looked through config menus, and the manuals and don't see...
I've been invited to a jam session in my town, where a bunch of intermediate to pro musicians all learn parts from a big song list, and then get together and play the songs for fun. Basically every song is a new combination of people, so the guitar players swap out quite a bit. At the one I...
I recently bought a Sun Valley Super Shredder Exotic which has a few issues that I'm not sure are flaws. The guitar is equipped with a Floyd Rose, and I find that the high E string goes flat pretty consistently. It's the one string I'm adjusting more than the others, and I've broken one high E...
I've been using some budget MF XLR cables for connecting my monitors to AF3/FM3 and similar uses, and find them to be pretty bad. When I plug the female end into my FM3's outputs, for example, there is a ton of play in them, to the extend that they lose contact and drop some of the signal. I...
I'm playing a corporate gig at one of the Disney hotels next year and am contemplating which guitar to take. I would like to take my Les Paul Custom, but it's expensive, and I'll have to leave it in the room every day for the week I'm there (with my Axe-FX III). I know the simple answer is to...
Did a show in a really hot, small club recently, and struggled with hand cramps, which I presume was from sweating for the seven or eight hours I was there. I felt ill from the heat, and had an off night. How does everyone cope with playing shows where it's really warm?
I use the WAH on a few presets, and have it set to auto-engage. Sometimes, though, I don't move it all the way back to the heel position after I use it, and I get that cocked wah sound. In the heat of a show, I don't always notice it right away, and if I've left it forward, my tone is more...
I've been playing guitar my whole life, and gig part time in a classic rock and 80's metal cover band. Over the last few years, I've bought a few decent guitars, but have recently been considering treating myself to a really nice guitar. I'm gravitating towards a Les Paul Custom, perhaps even...
Hi All,
Just going through my presets and FC settings before a gig tomorrow and wondering if I stumbled across a problem of if I'm the problem. On a particular patch, I wanted to assign switch 2 (bottom middle) to toggle between two scenes. In Axe-Edit, I go to Per-Preset FC and set the...
Had my first gig last night with the Axe-FX III and FC-6 combo and thought I'd give a little review and describe my setup.
TLDR version: A great gig with killer guitar tone, easy control over my rig, and lots of compliments.
My band does classic rock and 80's metal covers (Sabbath, Ozzy, Skid...
As I've said before, I'm really digging the improved pitch block. I'm playing with a worship band this week and since the songs are being sung by a woman, we're shifting keys up quite a bit from the recordings. One of the songs is 2 1/2 steps up from the recording, so to keep the chords simple...
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for help understanding leveling my patches in the AF3. I know this type of thing is discussed a lot, so apologies for any redundancy here. I play in a classic rock band, and have played a few corporate gigs lately with other groups. I always go direct to PA, and it...
I'd like to move the factory presets to a different spot so my gig presets can be 1, 2, 3, etc. Axe-Edit doesn't support managing presets yet, so I don't see any easy way to move them. Any easy way I'm overlooking? I'd be ok with deleting them as well, since I can always reload them. Thanks in...
I'm a big Yngwie fan, and have always loved his live solos where he uses the Taurus pedals to keep a low note droning behind him while he solos, like this:
I'm sure there's a way to do this on the Axe III, but I'm not quite getting there, and wondering if anyone has figured this out already...
My usual rig is Axe-FX II XL+ to FOH with a FCB1010 midi controller for switching and expression pedals. I have a short gig I'm flying for soon and would like to avoid carrying the FCB1010. I can switch patches by hand on the front of the Axe-FX between songs, but would like to be able to switch...
Below is one of the primary patches I use for my classic rock/80's metal band, run straight out to an EV ZLX12P powered monitor. I use a filter block at the beginning of the patch and attach it to an expression pedal. I set the toe position to wide open, and the heel to some percentage of full...
I play in a 80's metal/classic rock cover band, and have been running the Axe-FX II a while now, in various ways. I have a Matrix power amp and cabs, but my recent rig at band practice is straight to an EV ZLX12P powered PA speaker. I've gigged the Axe into a guitar cab, but I plan to go full...
I run my Axe-Fx from output 1 into a very new EV ZLX 12P. Last night at band practice, the ZLX popped and went silent. The tiny display on the back showed 'Input Clip', so I turned it off and back on, at which point its soul floated up to heaven as smoke poured out of it. My preset was basically...
I'm a new Axe Ultra user and have been demo'ing some of the patches on AxeExchange. I have FRFR and a Marshall JCM900 1960 cab. I was trying Mark Day's White Lion patch (stock IR's) and realized I had it running through my cab with cab sims on, and it sounded good - real....grindy, sort of like...
I got my Axe-Fx Ultra yesterday, prepared for monster sound, hooked it up, and I'm having issues. I have an original solid state Line6 Flextone Head (if I decide to keep the Ultra, I will buy something better for a power amp; this is just all I have to test it with right now), and a used...
Thinking of buying an Axe FX Ultra and one of the passive wedges (power amp separate). Anyone know how long after the order I can expect to see the AFXU and the wedge? I'm in the U.S. and would probaly use the standard ground shipping. Thanks!
