    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.00 Firmware Release

    Oooh, looking forward to checking out the Blackglass, does it also model the EQ from the pedal? Because that EQ sounds so good! Otherwise it might be appropriate to rename it Blackglass 3K as that’s the version without EQ.

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 7.00 Firmware Release

    Sweeet! Been on Quantum 4.01 for a while and just updated. Decided to go through every single amp to see if I could find any replacement for the models I currently use, actually found quite a few amps that I never got to sound good previously, however, after narrowing down my options the...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 7.00 Public Beta #2

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.03 Firmware Release

    I have been so busy lately so it's been a while since I played guitar through the Axe-Fx, so I might have just forgotten how great the last(1.01) Quantum firmware sounded, but I feel like there's really a big difference in feel and sound from before, I don't know how you do it, but I'm loving...

    Is it common to use reverb on high gain presets?

    Not really common to use reverb on high gain guitars no, but check out Devin Townsend, he uses lots of reverb on everything, even high gain guitars, and I really mean LOTS.

    Matchless Chieftan Quantum Tone - Ambient

    Aye, currently messing around with it and coil splitting my humbuckers(they actually sound surprisingly close to a strat) and really liking it, it's similar to the AC-30(or DC-30 if you want to keep in under the Matchless name) but a lot more open, a bit glassier attack and overall just more...

    Matchless Chieftan Quantum Tone - Ambient

    Huh, never tried this amp out, mostly go for a AC-30ish sound with my clean/breakup tones so usually go for the Matchless DC-30, might have to go give this one a go though, sounds great. EDIT: Yup, this model rules, switching my AC-30 scenes for this one.

    ML Comparison: Amplitube Mesa Boogie vs Axe-Fx

    Boogafunk 1X12 Went Away?

    From what I can see on the wiki(if it's correct), the factory cab you're referring to was actually number 11, but was switched out during firmware 18, the wiki also tells me it was the Boogafunk Blue, which I suppose would mean it's the link from ownhammer's post above with the ALN-BLU in it :P

    Hardware needed for preset changes...

    Hardware needed for preset changes...

    I'd go with an audio interface with a total of at least 4 outputs, then you'd be able to use stereo backing tracks, and one or two monitoring outputs, and it will probably have midi capability as well.
