    PEQ Block settings for Klon D0 T5 L10

    Yes, I love the Klon Block.....but for for my live preset I need to save a little CPU and use a PEQ instead of drive (and PLEX Delay instead of reverb etc) I see that Yek has a FET Boost Klon type hack.....The FET boost uses less CPU than some of the other boosts....

    PEQ Block settings for Klon D0 T5 L10

    Looking forward to trying this! Can I ask how you were able to get the fequency curve from the Klon? PS: I really surprised this kind of CPU saver hasn't had more likes!

    MIDI output voltage: WIDI Master is getting hot

    FM3 Widi Jack Airstep LITE I don’t know how to upload video but above is a link to a short clip of the communications working. (Not sure if this link to a video on my Dropbox will work)

    MIDI output voltage: WIDI Master is getting hot

    So my solution was to split one of the cables that comes with the Widi Jack put a 220 R resistor on both Pin 4 and Pin 5. Then I put the whole lot into a little switch that I stole of some Christmas lights. Now I can turn on and off the Widi without having to unplug the MIDI socket every time.

    MIDI output voltage: WIDI Master is getting hot

    I like this idea. I have a WIDI JACK heating up when powered from my FM3 MIDI OUT....so the cable hack with 220 Ohm resistor is the solution I'm considering.

    Why not Rivera?

    I might be a little biased here because I own 2 actual rivera amps (a KR-7 Mick Thompson and an early nineties Knucklehead K100). I'm not particularly into the slipknot sound but both the amps sound wonderful clean (fender side) and pushed (Marshall side)......and yes, I'm going to say...

    Optima gold plated strings

    I used them for quite a while and I really liked the tone. They had that played in feel after a week that just lasted for a month (as opposed to feeling flat after an other week). I prefer the D'addario EXP or NYXL strings now as they last even longer and really seem to suit any guitar I put...

    DIY Arduino Foot Controller

    elephant in the room! - big stomper using the axe for synth, ambient and loops

    I like it. It's got a bit of a Goldfrapp feel to it. amazing how you got those sounds out of a guitar and Axe Fx! Is the EVH tribute that it's the same synth sound that EVH uses on the start of Jump?

    Blue MoFi Headphones with Axe Fx?

    I've just pulled the trigger on a pair of 880s because of this thread. Looking forward to hearing them for myself now. The Blue MoFi look a little heavy for long term use. I want to wear these at work for 8 Hrs and then be able to use them at home for my Axe Fx.
