    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Release

    Regarding Kill Dry: For parallel effects, I have been using Mix @ 100% and using Input Gain to add the effect via expression pedal. So the preferred setup now, would be to enable Kill Dry, set the Input Gain to 100% and attach the pedal to the Mix control?

    I agree with you - I don't find travel-level sports healthy either. My daughter's done a bit of low-grade travel soccer this past year and we're bailing on it.

    He's solid for sure. I have no idea how tall he is - I just said he looked little because of how far he had to reach up to hit his drums.

    Underwhelming Live Recordings

    If your recorded guitar is basically amp/cab, throw some reverb onto the guitar track(s) to make it sound more like it did in the room. Just a straight raw guitar track will seem pretty lifeless without some reverb on it (unless that's what you're going for).
