    Help!!Why all the wahs sound 'gain boosted' by default in FW10.10?

    For what it's worth I just recorded 10 or 15 seconds of a preset using wah on 10.09, then I upgraded to 10.10 and recorded a few more seconds on the same preset. The amp is Herbie Ch2, the wah block is before the amp. Interestingly (based on what others have written) the damp settings...

    Played my Axe-Fx II for the first time today...feel a bit let down

    It can sound good through just about anything, as a few have mentioned. From version 9.xx to 10.xx there was a major change, and in my opinion, the AEII became much more complex to program for good results - but with much higher potential for the end results. I've never used any of the...

    I never owned a Standard, but I owned an Ultra. I sold it with no trouble when the II came out. If you do buy the II and the III comes out, you won't lose your total investment. You'll have your use + your knowledge of the 'platform' + the money you'll recap from the sale of the II. Either...

    Yahtzee! Tone matching defintely works in 10.05

    Yes. And the same tone works throughout the whole song (I don't think he changes much while playing). Beside it being right there, I was really happy with the process. I spent about 3 minutes setting up amp, cab and rev and 45 seconds tone matching to get it. Apparently the recording does a...

    I've had success with this before, but not to this degree. Just tried it on 10.02. Not so good (as to be expected - I know). Updated to 10.05 and tried it. If I had a clue and the inclination to figure out soundcloud I'd record and play the two tones - it's a sweet Black Crowes sound (twice...

    I use autoengage a lot (although, not with a spring loaded expression pedal - I like the option of being able to use the pedal for other things beside wah). It engages immediately. You set the amount of time (and the position eg., heel down, toe up and % near those positions) in which it...

    Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Scenes are really useful. Just that they don't present an advantage to my setup (I only use the MFC live and not to record, so I don't perceive any gaps in the mix. I don't use the looper. I don't like spillover.). And yes, I'm usually the first to get there and...

    Or don't use scenes - I don't see an advantage for my setup. I get what you're saying, but I don't see that it'd be a huge problem if you set those two amps to the correct ratio to begin. My thought with the Vol Inc/Dec is that I'm going to zero in on everything as much as I can (with Output...

    Building presets - Best way to get uniform output levels?

    I tried setting levels with a meter a year or so ago. The problem for me is that my attack on the strings varies by my environment. If I'm playing a show and the audience isn't into it, I tend to play more conservatively. When they're going nuts, so am I. This can cause decent volume...

    Building presets - Best way to get uniform output levels?

    Yep, if memory serves it was 35 and 36 for me too. You also need to change the OFF parameter (I think that was the next page or two in the MIDI menu on the MFC) from 000 to OFF for IA switch 9 and 10 so that you're not sending two commands every other time you press the button. I think that's...

    Thanks, Rex. Good to know. If I'm playing live, I don't tweak on the front panel, so if I change output volume with the switches, I'll make certain that I do so with all other switches in their "starting" position. Also caught the dB change when testing it. You know, I can't figure what the...

    Arranging Presets...

    I use a number of different guitars that are built on individual presets. From what I understand, a bank is a bank and can't be altered (128 presets). I use a modifier in the preset name to let me know what to use. For example- HolChrP1-2SBM - tells me that the preset is for "Hollow Spaces"...

    The building process of my custom MFC-101 labels

    You can make the labels rock solid (if you don't intend to change IA switches often). Cut the hole so that it's just big enough to fit the switch. One at a time, unscrew the nut and lock washer and put your label on. Then screw them back on. The label won't move.

    Are the amps' 'Boost' accessible with a MIDI control pedal?

    Or attach the drive or volume or both to an expression pedal and set your standard to heel down and your boost to toe down. Someone said it before, this is achievable in about 30 different ways - through an IA or pedal. I remember boosting with my guitar's volume knob - does that show my age?
