Axe Edit/older than OSX 10.6.8

Is there an Axe Edit that works for a Mac with older than 10.6.8? I have an older computer that has 10.4 and it operates perfectly with that software and other programs on it. I'll try installing the latest software at the studio today and report back. My Axe FX 2 is on Quantum.

I'm back to Axe FX II

It IS better than when I left(FW 10). There is, however, still a high end "plasticy"-"papery" sound. However, that sound seems to disappear when a whole band is playing. There is better pick attack and a smoother feel to patch3es across the board. I am not imagining this. 78 Dee Cee used to be a...

Undercalibrate expression pedals?

I am wondering if under-calibrating expression pedals would ensure proper "throw". Say if I calibrate "min" to 002 and "max" to 90 (of a possible 92). I would think that this would ensure full off and full on from the pedal. Yes/no?

Crackles in FRFR and headphones

Since updating to 6.0 I am getting crackling from the Axe FX. It seems to build up somewhere inside the Axe and then comes through the speakers. I have tried headphone and it is there as well, so it is not the monitor. A power-cycle or two seems to take care of it for a while. I played the Axe...
