    Leveling the output of the Axe FX II with a POD go

    Thanks Matt! Sounds good, I'll give it a go in Reaper, as for the Axe, I've always tickled the red :) I've had a listen to both devices and the output on the Pod is way lower than the Axe. Is there any consequence to pulling the output on the Axe in the front way down? It would probably go to...

    Leveling the output of the Axe FX II with a POD go

    Hi everyone, I'm a 10 year satisfied Axe FX II user, still going strong! Currently I'm gigging a lot more and I've bought a second hand Pod GO as a backup device for emergencies (or quick recordings at home when the Axe is in the rehearsal space). Now I want to make sure the signal output of...

    Can you trigger a Boost with an Expression pedal input??

    It would depend on how you get a global boost I guess. Would it not be easier to create a null filter block with assigned controller to increase level on a per preset basis? Takes next to no cpu so that should be manageable unless you have very cpu hungry patches. Not at the unit at the moment...

    15.06 output 1 light is clipping how ever interface say its got plenty of head room

    Does it also trigger the utility screen output levels? (Not @axe right now ;) )
  47. McChiel

    15.06 output 1 light is clipping how ever interface say its got plenty of head room

    Could it be that you're clipping internally?
  48. McChiel

    15.06 output 1 light is clipping how ever interface say its got plenty of head room

    If the axe is clipping it's clipping. The clipped signal goes into the profire and as long as your output is not too high the profire will surely show there's headroom. Doesn't change the fact that you need to adjust the patch :)

    Confused with external switch setup

    It will depend on the switch. Scene 1/2 should be possible by assigning the scene cc (default #34 if I'm correct) 0 for on and 1 for off for instance.

    Confused with external switch setup

    So you want a single switch on the mfc to behave differently for different patches, is that what you're asking? I don't think that's possible.

    Using the Axe II as a Vocal Processor. ?

    If you have something in your rack couldn't you just use the midi through of the axe to control it? I know with the fcb1010 you can send info to additional midi channels so you can separate them
  54. McChiel

    Thought on this please.

    I like it! but I think it would benefit if you have some control over the crystallized echoes so you can fade them out and in, I think the song might benefit from that :) YMMV
