Parker Fly Deluxe Wiring Diagram

I thought I would post this here first rather than sign up for another forum. I have a mid 2000's Parker Fly Deluxe with piezo bridge. During a repainting job the wires of the batter holder came off the PCB and I need to find out which contacts to solder the wires back on to. If anyone has...

Axe II Failiure

A few months back I bricked my Axe II (Mk1). I was updating the firmware when someone who shall remain nameless decided to pull the plug from the back. I got in touch with G66 and everything was sorted very quickly, which I was thankful for as I had a slew of important gigs coming up. In fact...

A Moment of Revelation

So last night I was rehearsing with a band until roughly 2am for an upcoming gig tomorrow night. It was the first time I have had my two powered CLRs running in stereo and was using my Epi Les Paul Custom. Cycling through the presets yielded incredibly satisfying results. While not perfect...

It struck me how much like an analogue Axe FX this wold be (if one existed). I'd like to sit down with him and get his take on the tones possible with it too.

Sound Design and Acoustics

Food for thought! :) Apparently done without reverb, but compression and editing are all in evidence. It just goes to show the power of the acoustic space you record in! Might have a look at snopes though because I'm a wee bit sceptical.... ;)

Is the Axe a viable amp?

Here we all are, post FW10, with mostly positive results. Among those negative ones, the common thread seems to be that the Axe sounds too much like the original amps, warts and all, from unpleasant fuzziness to unpleasant overtones. These all seem to be as a result of the MIMIC process...

Onboard Preamp Usefulness

Hi. Just a quick one. Given that the input level is a soft knob, and not subject to analogue distortion, is there any usefulness in installing an onboard guitar preamp, such as the EMG PA2? Will this result in just clipping at the input stage? Thanks. D.

This is a short high-gain tech song, more of an experiment in time signatures, without going to unlistenable extremes. I didn't want it to sound djenty either, and I like composing rather than having things too guitar-centric. I, Universe by Project 10 Productions on SoundCloud - Create...
