    It's Been Three Months Today...

    I was literally going to post "all quiet on FW front". Honestly I would prefer less frequent updates and no more changing of base amp sounds. The Axe FX II is pretty darn mature and if they leave the FW more stable I can finally program more than two or three patches! I had 40 at one point...

    Revpad with Axe-Fx?

    Saw them at NAMM and said the same thing. If it could control axe, helix, strymons etc would be cooler than using only their effects. I got blank stare and "it has effects", sort of like "but it goes to eleven".

    Tempo settings over midi

    Axe can not be master for midi clock. If just delays just setting the tempos on axe and mixer may be fine but any sequencer or LFO stuff on axe would likely require midi clock.
