    Guild Crossroads

    Dug this one out the other day, forgot how much fun it is to play., I think quite rare beast nowadays Only issue I have with the Axe is for some reason the Virtual Capo sends the 12 string really out. dont know why it just doesnt work, so Eb is out for that..must be something to do with double...

    Control Switch FC12 with Setlist & songs

    I was setting some songs up the other day and had a problem with a control switch. For example on my main preset I have a pitch block that is a virtual capo for Eb. I assigned the control switch on my FC12 ( which generally I was using in scenes mode ) to the pitch block , called the swtich...

    Digitech Drop Pedal

    Anyone tried one with the Axe 3?..I struggle with the VC block, seems to have a bit of a 'phasey' thing going on , esepcially upsets it when you have a 2nd pitch block in the preset for say a dual detune etc> I have many back tracks in Eb some in D etc, was thinking of going guitar-- digitech...

    Pitch block Virtual Capo query

    Funny one I have come across before, in general the pitch block as a virtual capo Eb works well in most presets, but then I come across other ones it doesnt seem to work so well, adds some form of metallic kind of echoey ring phaseyness..hard to describe really, but anyway as an example loaded...

    I have many things I play in various tunings, Eb generally gets used a lot. So in my preset I have sc 1 Rhythm sc 2 lead sc3 lead phase sc4 clean...etc I used to setup seperate presets so for eg preset 1 general Rock, so I would setup preset 2 with all the scences set to Eb and it would be...

    Using Looper to Assist in making preset alterations

    Got a long way through the Cooper Carter masterclass last week, excellent resource, really great programme to dig into the Axe 3. One of his tips was to put a looper block in the preset grid, upfront, then record a passage whilst playing your guitar. Then you can simply replay the passage in the...

    Using Looper sample settings

    Maybe most know this, maybe not, but I didnt and I have found it to be the most useful tool for changing settings in presets whilst knob twiddling ( oh er ) Last week I ploughed through the Cooper carter materclass, which I have to say is absolutely brilliant at helping to fathom out the Axe...

    Has anyone got a link for the splitter cable mentioned in the external switch video .. I got one but it doesn’t work , Not sure if it’s because it is Trs to two female trs jacks or if it’s just rubbish , but I have used amazon and eBay asking for 6.35mm TRS male to dual TS female 6.35 splitter...

    Output 1 setting & preset output setting

    Set my front output at noon on the axe, and just grabbed Austin Buddys Naked amps. Now this has thrown me a little as he states 'I turn my output knob on the front panel to the maximum'. I pretty much use the output block in individual presets to set them to the required level, using the scene...

    Floyd Rose wound E going sharp after use

    Best Monitor for spreading sound

    I have my 'man cave' room that I use with a pair of genelec's 8350's , sitting with the monitors 12 feet away perfectly placed gives me excellent sound. Problem is I have a similar setup in my lounge, and I play whilst moving about etc, struggle to get a good sound spread, find that the genelecs...

    Brown sound patch no 400

    Just got round to updating to quantum, and loaded all the abc banks for the presets. Always liked the brown sound, and noticed that there is a couple of patches in the 400's of which there is a brown sound one, which is a lot louder ( and better sounding ) than the other one in bank A What are...

    Levelling volume on Backing tracks

    So got my presets in my axe 2 all levelled nicely, but have a bit of an irk in that my backing tracks all stored on my ipod have differing volumes, not badly so, just some are a bit up, some a bit down. It gets to be a bit of a pain trying to adjust the sound levels when moving from one track to...

    Going Back to Valves ( for now )

    This is not a 'diss' the axe fx thread, far from it, I think it is a fantastic bit of kit. But, and for me its a big but at the moment, I just dont have a huge amount of time to give it, struggling to cope with constant updates & tweaks...too much choice and too much updating for the amount of...
