    Honest Observation

    I know the AF2 in its many, former FW inceptions has been touted more realer than real, and betterer than analog. It's been fun to read about, and most certainly to play. Granted, when I hooked up stereo FRFRs, things really got framed nicely with what was happening. And it continues to, to...

    Axe-II, who's using what for a DAW interface?

    I asked this before and it got relegated to the Rigs and Routing section. It's dead. I'd like to know - what are users of the AF2 using for their DAW interfaces to mitigate latency to the least possible variable? USB DI with the AF2 has been okay in the past, but it's getting slowed...

    Question: USB DI, or Interface?

    Hi Folks, I've been trucking along going about matters rather simplistically with my A2, and that's fine - I like simple. I record direct to my MBP via the USB and my resident DAW software (Reaper). So far so good. I've noticed now that things are getting a wee bit more "sonically...

    Something I've really come to love about the A2...

    ...is just how sensitive it is to different pickups. I've got a number of guitars equipped with different BKPs, stock, etc. pups. Sure, I can detect an audible difference when blasting through my analog kits. But man, does it ever shine through on the Axe-II. Incredibly so. Very very...

    Tone Match w/ amp line out, some ???s

    I have a quick question. I'd like to TM my Diezel Hagen. The Hagen has a line out, and I'd like to utilize this for TM'ing in order to not get botched with the homemade cab IR process. My question is - by using this method, does this automatically marry the incoming signal tone match to a...

    Mako Mak4 in loop of Axe-II, NOT 4CM

    Anyone tried this? I really love the Mak4, it's a killer unit. I may want to pipe it through the back of the Axe-II and create its own patch in the grid. Just wondered if anyone's done this with either a Fish or Triaxis or whatever. Peace, Mo

    So where or how do y'all get them little gear pictures in your signatures?

    You know, the guitars linked to the Axe linked to some studio NF monitors linked to your FRFR of choice, etc. Seems a pretty homogenized format across most users siggy's, is there a template or something? Thanks! Mo

    ROADCASES!! CLR Wedge

    Knowing that the CLR Wedge is a fairly new product, does anyone know if there are custom sized [heavy duty] roadcases for these yet? I'm looking at international air travel and road travel, with - at times - the usual beatings of airline "throwers" and freight handlers. Cheers, Mo

    Ah ha moment...

    So there I am today, mucking around with various presets, test driving 'em to see which one has the "base" tone for what I was after. I happen across the stock Recto-Red. I dial it in a bit differently, move things around, got into its depth and the like - nothing too serious whatsoever. I...

    CLR Wedge, who's using what for a stand/support?

    Just wondering if anyone's had any luck at finding an adjustable height/angle stand that's strong enough to handle the weight of an active wedge; and support it at "ear level" for studio work/session space work (sitting). I know I can pole mount it for higher ups, but I'm looking for something...

    Question: Chasing ghosts or pure science? Cabs/IRs

    Alright, I've been delving more heavily into the realm of the A2 as of late - most certainly aided by the arrival of my CLRs. They've really given me a huge nudge in the right direction (that being, that the A2 is just loaded with sick tone!!). I am focused on cabs. Which means, per se, I...

    I just HAVE to say...

    I am completely and utterly blown AWAY by what I'm hearing from these active Atomic wedges :mrgreen I do believe these 2 wedges will be the tip-over in my tube loaded gear's commencement of "dust collection". I would have never guessed this. I mean that. Wow.

    Anyone else notice a somewhat significant trend in A2's being listed for sale lately? Ideas? Certainly couldn't be a leak on an Axe-III and personally, I simply can't see that coming for at least a couple more years (I mean that). Just wondering if it's just me or if anyone else has...

    Wow... The cost of tubes!

    Having to re-tube three of my bigger heads has made me realize what cost savings merit a system like FAS can offer. I'm not even done the 3rd head and I've already splashed more than a brand new MFC is worth. Wow.

    Fave XLR cables?

    That "in the room" bounce...

    Just a question for you more savvy and experienced A2 users. I'm set up awaiting my CLRs to go full on FRFR. Now, one thing I've always loved about amps - particularly the VH4 (most Diezel's in general) - is that they offer this truly sonic "three dimensionality" when played face-to-face (jam...

    Just a contemplation. A query of sorts. A pondering. I'm not talking about a poweramp in the chain (analog or solid state), I'm not talking about running the odd 4x12 or 1x12 guitar cabinet, I'm not talking about keeping the odd stomp up front or in the chain. I'm talking about going...

    Is Atomic dead?

    I still have this weird "like" towards the Atomic Wedges/Cabs. How come there's not much buzz about them anymore? Are they inferior to all the other options out there like RCF, QSC, Mackie, yada yada? What's happening with 'em?

    Spinning Value Knob, not precise

    Is this another inherent "well it's just like that" issue with the Axe-II ?? I can spin the value knob 1 click, 5 clicks, what not to the left or the right, and nothing changes on the green-screen. It takes me abruptly spinning the knob a good 50% full turn to "grab" the changes, and then...

    Pedal Preference, Expression/Volume thru Voodoo Labs GCP

    Just wondering if anyone here has had any success using the Fryette KT88 loaded 2/90/2 poweramp into a pair of passive wedges? I'm still toying with the notion that the Fryette might have enough headroom to be considered a neutral enough amp to allow for a near ture FRFR signal into the...
