    Floyd Rose Tuning / Temperature change expectations

    I am wondering what the expectation is for a Floyd Rose guitar holding its tuning throughout a show. I typically string it up with NYXLs and break the strings in prior via a String Stretcher and play on it a bit (not much, but do some bending all around) in the days leading up to a show, so the...

    Guitar advice: Piezo candidates besides JP6

    I'm looking for options for a nice piezo-equipped humbucker guitar in the $2k range. The Music Man Petrucci JP6 would seem to have what I'm looking for, although I don't need the Petrucci name on it and also wish there were some more wood-grain type of finish choices (although the stealth black...

    Marty Friedman digs the Axe-Fx

    From the new Guitar World: "I was in the studio recording and the engineer busted out one of those Fractal Axe-Fx for the last track. I was like, 'This thing is amazing'.

    Another "Saw Vai Last Nite" Post

    Rolled up to the venue in ATL and see a Fractal Audio T-Shirt walking by -- it's Mr. Solo-Of-The-Week - ccroyalsenders. Fun to meet a fellow forum member and chat with him for a bit. Vai was awesome as always. Had a signal feeding his Axe-Fx II all night. Posted a few shots from the show here...

    Thanks for 6.01 - sounds great and I see that the global block issue is resolved. Are we all clear to go back to saving with Axe Edit now for this and any other issues that were seen or should we wait on the next release? Thanks again for the update!

    Room Level in Cab Block - Do you use it? How about for outdoor gigs?

    I've been going pretty dry with the Room Level in the cab block. I have an outdoor gig coming up - should I add in some room reflections in the cab block since there won't be a real room? How do you guys use the Room settings in the cab block in different scenarios? Like adding room...

    It's Only Love (TM)

    Did a straight tone match as well as a modified tone match to maintain some of the original patch while bringing in 50% tone match EQ. 1st pass - original (matched from an MP3 - would be interesting to see the difference from a CD...) 2nd pass - tone match with no cab, 100% amount, 0%...
