    Get AxeFX III sound right

    I agree with both the suggestions above. I recently went through a similar transition with my live rig. I was trying to get it to sound exactly like my XL. It wasn’t until I stopped and started from scratch that I really experienced the III and now have a sound that I love even more. Give it...

    MFC-101 Lock up

    I had something similar happen... after years of flawless operation it would very infrequently lock up... also would occasionally display these strange characters. Reboot would fix it most of the time. Ended up being a loose ribbon cable inside the unit. After lots of transport etc must have...

    Axe-Fx III block to simulate FreqOut?

    I’ve been doing something similar to what’s been mentioned here with the FO. I have the pedal itself stuck in my live rack with Velcro on a shelf above the Axe. This is connected to in/out 4 (I do something similar with the Drop pedal using in/out 3). I turn the pedal always on when I power up...

    Baritone guitars... And, go!

    I have the LTD BB-600 - has a piezo pickup as well that I use a lot for recording. The new price is over your range but I do see a few on reverb for under a grand. May be worth checking out.

    WISH - Tuner to toggle with an external switch

    Chris - I messed with this for a bit more and am having a bit of touble still. I would like this external switch to stand-in for both the tuner and tempo like the FC switch does (tempo on tap and tuner on hold). This switch I have is a momentary normally open switch and is the one I used with...

    WISH - Tuner to toggle with an external switch

    Thanks guys. The Stand-In Switch solution works well! Thank you Chris - excellent video. I'm using an external switch and the tuner is on the hold function on the FC-6 layout. Interestingly it works fine when I tap it. I cannot get the tap function assigned to the switch to work (tap...

    The MFC boots intermittantly without displaying text

    I’m experiencing something similar... maybe one in 5 starts the MFC does not display the names or the switch states. Sometimes rebooting the AX fixes it or sometimes rebooting by pulling the MFC XLR and reconnecting. Then it seems to be good for the gig. Only started doing this the past few...

    Should I buy a EVH 5150 Striped Series Guitar even though it's made in Mexico?

    First, I’d say you really need to watch your debt. Seems like you have a pretty nice collection and some killer axes. Make sure you’re making smart fiscal decisions. To the question at hand. I am a big time USA Charvel and Jackson fan. They make perfect instruments for me. I also have a few of...

    Guitar Strap Cutting Off Circulation To Arm

    I’ve used the guitar harness. Great concept. It put the instrument in a slightly different place/position which was awkward and took a bit to get used to, but improved things for me for a bit. But as others metioned, what I thought was circulation ended up being a neck issue. I’ve been buying...

    DIY Fret Leveling & crowning

    I do all my own fretwork. I’ve just started moving to stainless for all my instruments. In addition to it being cheaper, once you get some experience under your belt and you learn what you like, you can make them play exactly how you want them. I refret new guitars I get because my work is so...

    Protector for playing live

    Similar to what’s been posted, when we are on a stage when drunken spills are a risk, I put a wrap or two of plastic wrap around the floor board. Doesn’t look pretty but it works.

    whats wrong with gibson and fender ?

    Almost every tuning issue that comes through my shop is related totally, or at least in part, to the nut. A new guitar set up (especially on mass produced instruments) often requires some nut work to perform well.

    How does Das Metall compare between the II & Ultra?

    I actually had a bit of trouble adjusting from the Ultra to the XL. I picked up the XL around v12. Like you, I was really happy with my sound from the Ultra and didn't feel there was anything missing... I was just curious about what the XL offered. I'd suggest that if you make the change...

    Guitar Picks, What do you play?

    I like the D'andrea 1.14 delrin picks. Standard 351 shape. The D'Andrea's have the nicest bevel of all the brands that make these picks. Least amount of chirp IMO.

    Are there IEMs that will give me the same big tone as my CLR?

    Our local hospital system has a musicians hearing center that focuses on musician relating hearing medicine. I went there originally and I seem to think it was like $60 for the pair. Now that I've grown to depend on them a whole lot, I recently ordered a backup set. I found a local independent...

    Are there IEMs that will give me the same big tone as my CLR?

    I LOVE the Sensaphonics. After first using a few of the acrylic IEMs, I will never go back. Very comfortable and isolate very well. They are made out of a medical grade silicone and don't degrade or discolor as far as I know. My original set is about 6 yrs old now and look and feel as they did...

    Sold my Ultra, need help with Axe-Edit

    Definitely this. ^^ I still do this today occasionally when I need to see how things were done. Because the old axe edit worked offline, you can load your saved backs just like you would have before. You can even run both at the same time to compare how things are set.

    Shaking the room!!!!

    I'd suggest the resonate frequency again. You probably have a room mode excited more that you had with your other rigs. Take a parametric eq with a narrowish Q, crank the gain (on the eq) and sweep the low frequencies. Find that frequency where everything really shakes, and try cutting a little...

    XL Firmware backup

    I've also wondered about this. So instead of the unit becoming locked up if there were an issue, it's sort of a "safe mode" that will allow the XL to continue to operate... at least at a level to receive the firmware again? So to the original OP question... This mode just happens if there is an...

    Axe-Fx II Firmware 15.00 Public Beta

    With regards to applying old FW advanced parameters to new FW user presets: for me, when I tweak an advanced parameter, I like to understand the details of what it is doing or trying to model. Then I decide that I like or don't like the affect of that mod. Then it's not so much about setting the...

    Yes was going to say hyperacusis. I have this in one ear and it drives me nuts sometimes. I still can't listen to certain iPods or MP3 players... there's some weird aliasing or something that I can't hear, but causes some ringing and mild discomfort. I don't notice anything with the axe...

    Calling out any luthiers

    Installing the nut on an angled headstock: you do not want to remove any of the fretboard. It's really important to keep your scale length intact. The strings need to make contact with the Floyd nut at the exact sane place as the current nut. Cutting the shelf into the fretboard would put the...

    Calling out any luthiers

    Yes you can change the bridge radius by shimming the saddles... pretty straight forward. The locking nut is a little more tricky. The 15 could be fine because it is pretty close. I tend to go with a smaller radius to get the low and high strings right, then deepen the two center slots to get...

    Axe II XL preset extras

    I believe that the CPU limits are the same - there is no additional CPU available. The XL has additional memory which allows more X/Y options as the additional memory enables the second set of settings to be stored. Not sure what the additional effect instances means. Maybe instead of two...

    Amps vs No Amps On Stage

    We ran into this too with a similar set up. Our solution was to add a center fill monitor. Basically one powered wedge in the front like a monitor, except turned to the crowd with a full mix. Works great. Still much easier than hauling a back line.

    anyone here don't keep their modeling mode at "authentic"
